Listen ...
Let's have some music;
Try Accuradio. Allows one to select by types of music and also by timeframe e.g. 1965-72. Creates for a interestingly random playlist; one minute it's "Winchester Cathedral"* by The New Vaudeville Band, next it's "Bernadette" by The Four Tops. Nice.
But be prepared. First time I heard "Love Is Blue"by Paul Mauriat, it totally threw me.
As a tune, it's beyond cheese. It's yoghurt.
(Tangent: The NVB were linked to the glorious Bonzo Dog Doo-Dah Band - probably in a vague sixties, hey cat let's jam, sort of way.)
Try Oscillate Wildly. Broadcast by Brit Boy out of San Francisco, this station plays, well, tunes I love. Pulp, Spiritualized, Cure, James, Gus Gus, The Smiths are just the ones he's playing as I type. He even plays Rialto. God love 'im.
Try Resonance FM broadcasting on 104.4 FM in the London Area as well as on t'internet. A lovely radio art station comprising groovy and obscure tunes with shows on art, politics, current affairs etc. Stroke that goatee.
Try Samurai FM, a Japanese station showcasing both local and international music. Note my manful restraint in not referencing The Vapors...
Try Radio Helsinki for a spot of Finnish broadcasting. Strangely addictive.
Try Traffic Island Disks for a spot of random chit-chat about music on the streets of London. They haven't updated for bit but check the archive section.
* I knew you'd want this.
