Hi,
I took my spotify playlist and downloaded it all in mp3, because it doesn’t change very much and I would like to do away with even a free, arr, spotify.
When I was younger I got my music from the radio, so I am checking that vector, any recommendations?
I found https://radio.garden/ which is a good start I think.
As a side note, publicity in foreign languages goes so much better on my ear, even American English, “buy this medicine”, “contact this lawyer” lol! but it is of course even better with no publicity at all.
Thank you!
I discovered a lot of interesting new music through BBC Radio 6 Music.
Oh yes, 6 Music is a good one. I notice that Iggy Pop has a Sunday afternoon show at the moment (16:00 UK time), and he’s had several series on there in the past, they just keep asking him back because he’s interesting and has good taste in music. And also on Sundays (20:00 UK time) is Stuart Maconie’s Freak Zone, which has been running for years - so long in fact that when it started I remember recording it on cassette tape so I could play it on my commute to work.
As with all BBC radio there are no adverts apart from their own promotional stuff, and everything is available for 28 days after broadcast via the BBC Sounds website and app - https://www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/stations
I spend a lot of time listening to BBC Radio 3, which is their classical station, but they also have a jazz show 5 nights a week, and lots of other music apart from classical - ‘world’ music, experimental and new music, all kinds of interesting stuff in the evenings UK time. Serious music radio, done properly.
