Same sort of thing here www.last.fm/listen/I always end up turning off after a while, coz I think of better choices, and end up putting a cd on. |

I use both occasionally but prefer the randomness of a radio station (usually WFMU).

Haven't listened to WFMU (will do), but just been reading some of their articles - good stuff. "Who killed Rock 'n' Roll" by Gene Sculatti starts:
"The victim's been lying there on life-support for years. Once a big, strapping music, light on its feet, unstoppable in its ability to move and shake all kinds of listeners, it fades in and out of consciousness, listless and unfocused.
Even without invoking the golden days of two and three decades ago, popular music today - an enervating mix of a-melodic R&B, lachrymose little-girl songwriter shlock and brutish fratboy b.s. - and posing, ever more posing - pales against any measurement standard."
Goes on to talk about the mythology of the music and musicians, nice piece - spot on methinks.
