ls FM radio even listenable any more?

Steve here, so far the best part of my day, besides listening to records, reading this thread gave me lots of laughs.

My local college station is great! They play all genres. I've found lots of great new to me artists there.

FM radio is not what it used to be.Many more commercials now. I enjoy the satelite radio(xm). Many different genres to choose from.

Sam here and all digital music stations have dynamic compressed music that depresses you and they give you prozac. Sometimes the conspiracy theory is conspiracy fact!

Exactly, and it all started in 1947 in Roswell, New Mexico.
Do you think Velcro was the only thing we got from that encounter? Nope, microwave oven technology and dynamic compressed music.

No where it all comes from? Beamed out of the sub level basement in the Pentagon, 1 floor above the nuclear reactor.

And who benefits? The pharmaceutical companies, and the government gets a nice docile public doped up on Prozac.

Yup, conspiracy fact.

88.5 jazz from Minneapolis and PBS 99.5 from St Paul are both superb.
Why I know not but jazz station is owned by Mpls. School Board .99.5 has over 90,000 recordings and is is 3rd highest feeder of classical music to other PBS stations .



Rock stations all stink , not surprising since they play rock .
