Townswoman Crystal<\/a><\/strong> reports that she has been spending a lot of time in a computer lab for her digital art class doing homework. She’s been slowly making notes of the different iTunes radio stations<\/strong> for her personal use, and she wanted to share them with her fellow Townspeople. Here’s what she’s finding.<\/em><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/div>\n

Worthy of listening to<\/ins><\/strong>
\nGhetto Radio.<\/em> It’s primarily ’80s, but it’s like old radio stations. They’ll play Aerosmith next to Eddy Grant<\/strong>. They did a block of Rush next to Genesis’s “Land of Confession”, which I promptly left but later they played New Order. So you’ll never know what you get.<\/p>\n

Fresh Air – The Alternative.<\/em> It’s worth it for the Edinborough accents<\/strong> alone. Sometimes, it’s dance music, and then it will be a show on internet dating.<\/p>\n

Music to work by<\/ins><\/strong>
\nBaroque classical station.<\/em> Insert your own joke here, but very calming.
\n
\nRadioAmbient – No Enya!<\/em> It’s just basic ambient electronica that isn’t too weird New Age or Starbucks<\/strong>. It’s perfect when you have to think but you also want cool background music.<\/p>\n

You have to be in the mood<\/ins><\/strong>
\nchaunters.org.<\/em> I love it – an entire radio station devoted to
\nFrench singers<\/strong>, but I took 9 years of French, so it may not be everyone’s cup of tea. You can find it in the International station section.<\/p>\n

Dublab.<\/em> “Positive.Music.Driven.Lifestyle”<\/strong> – this the tag line. It’s a lot of Donovan<\/strong> and ’70s Yes<\/strong> stuff. I felt like I had slipped myself magic mushrooms. I’m 95% sure this is something my hippie ex-boyfriend would have liked. A little heavy on the sitar music for my taste but it is relaxing.<\/p>\n

WOXY Vintage.<\/strong> This station is o.k. I mean, they went from the Ass Ponys<\/strong> to David Bowie<\/strong> so you be the judge. You can never go wrong with Bowie.<\/p>\n

Rockabilly Radio.<\/strong> Some of it is good, but some of it is REALLY<\/em> cheesy.<\/p>\n

Avoid like the plague<\/ins><\/strong>
\nSecret Agent on SomaFM.<\/em> It’s like the background music for Kahula<\/strong> ads. Yucky “trance” snooze yuppie music.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
