![]() ![]() There are moments when you want to listen to a song going round in your head. But I haven’t listened to it enough to form an opinion. Recently, I stumbled upon another interesting online station: Linn Radio which also has stations for jazz and classical. When you install it, it asks you for your zip code: give any US city zip code and it works. However, you can still access it on your iPhone, iPad or Android device by downloading the app. Sites like Pandora Radio, where you create your own station based on the kind of music you like, are popular in the US but are not available elsewhere. For indie rock, 1980s and 1990s, I tune in to 3WK Classic Underground Radio (You can also find both Absolute Classic Rock and 3WK in iTunes radio selection which, incidentally, is an excellent source for all kinds of online radio stations. They have the All Songs 24/7 Music Channel, where they play a mix of “every song ever played during the 10 years of All Songs Considered".įor classic rock, I prefer Absolute Radio -again, because they play my kind of 1960s, 1970s and 1980s music. Their programmes All Songs Considered and Tiny Desk Concerts are an absolute treat. The other radio station I visit frequently is NPR, where you find music that you may not get anywhere else. As I write this, it’s 4.30pm in Delhi, 7am in New Jersey, the “National Chocolate Milkshake Day" in the US (yes, I’m serious) and the music tempo on WBGO has gradually picked up from the late-night mellow to Frank Sinatra singing Please Be Kind. Accessing the station (you can listen to it on iTunes, or on the WBGO media player) takes a few seconds the streaming is smooth and the sound quality very good. It’s a 24x7 station, has great music, commentary and podcasts. For jazz, my absolute favourite is WBGO, which broadcasts from Newark, New Jersey. ![]()
