New Interest

I have been increasingly disappointed with what people are calling music lately, especially the crap that gets rolled on the radio waves. Pop music stations can go forget themselves because pop music is just cornball BS where someone just repeats something and then there is the chorus which is repeated through the song and that is how you make a pop song! The music being played on the "hard rock" channels are full of Nickleback, Chris Daughtry and cry baby punk/emo crap. My old favorite was the classic rock stations but there isn't a good one I can find in the new area. So this lead me to a search of something I could stand to listen to, and to my very big surprise NPR is what I landed on.

Yes it is just talking, so there is very little music but it at least has some interesting information and stories with some original content. It has everything music doesn't anymore except the "instruments" (which are mostly done on computers anymore) and some train wreck singing a song she didn't write. It took a little getting used to but I find it much more enjoyable than the other crap on the radio especially on a short drive, it definitely beats hearing the same 4 songs over and over again.

Check it out if you would like, it is a nice portal to some information you might not get watching the news (not talking about stupid turkeys attacking people). National Public Radio doesn't even have the billions of commercials regular radio has!
