OP said to not sound like a pretentious ass hat
So why are you? 🙄
Listen to my IPod and you’ll hear a selection of my musical taste, listen to 6music and you
will hear DJs talk and talk and talk and talk and then a boring old indie track
Or Zeppelin, or Zappa, or Credence, or Mastodon, or a shit-load of other stuff, like early blues and soul, electro, wierd European prog…
Which pretty much reflects what’s on my pod/phone; like I said Abba to Zappa, both of whom I’ve heard on 6 recently, although I rarely get to hear it these days.
Without 6 I probably would never have discovered a whole load of Canadian music, like Arcade Fire, Stars, Metric, The New Pornographers, Feist, Black Mountain, Pretty Girls Make Graves…
Show me a radio station that players such a wide range of music, including from artists who’ve yet to get any sort of recording deal then, because I’ve yet to find one.
And don’t, for Chris’sakes say Spotify! It’s bloody useless unless you’re sat in an office or at home, mobile is pointless when there’s barely a phone signal available, let alone data.
And it doesn’t play stuff that comes as a complete surprise, and you get bloody adverts instead of DJ’s unless you pay, which I not prepared to do for something that’s crap.
