I do not listen to the radio anymore
Only five years ago I still loved the radio, I mean certain programmes on it. I was listening to Bernard Lenoir's "La musique pas comme les autres" on France Inter. Lenoir ("le soir c'est Lenoir") is France's equivalent to John Peel from Radio One. I think his programme is called C'est Lenoir now. But I cannot take it anymore. To listen to one good song I have to listen to 5 crappy pseudo indie songs. No way. Nowadays we have the internet where I can listen to what I want. I am my own dee-jay.
Other programmes I gave up on: Schwarzweiss on HR1, a German station. They were never really great. Now they have changed the transmission schedule. instead of 7 to 9 pm it is 8 to 10 now.
Last but not least my favourite programme of all the time. The Zündfunk made by the Bayerischer Rundfunk #2 (BR2). They know most about interesting music off the beaten paths in Germany. Their programmes are intellectual and quite profound. But they are based in Munich and their programme is for people from there and I am not 25 anymore and it is from 5 to 6 pm weekdays I think when I still have to work.
I still listen to the Skydivers (Google has got my post of yesterday in its cache!) from Washington DC. Great melancholic pop music nobody knows about. Check alcohol, sadness you crave and summer sky (direct mp3 download links). Guitar pop close to dream pop at its lightest and best.
