NPR huh? ... hmmmm.

Sounds good anyway.

 

NPR is about the only American station that allows international streaming anymore. Over the past couple of years I've found it harder and harder to stream anything, generally getting a message that tells me "this media cannot be streamed in your region." The jerks!

However, Amman has 5 full-time English-language radio stations. The problem is that, for the most part, they just play and re-play Top 40 stuff. What I enjoy is that they sometimes bring in UK and European Top 40, which is a bit of a change.

Here's one I LOVE by Sandi Thom. I believe it never made it to the States, but she has a beautiful voice and I can't imagine that anyone would not love the lyrics:

And another by Keane (I love the 80s feeling in this one):

Excellent remake, BT!

Now that you have a torrent processor running, you can visit sites like Pirate Bay to find music to download.

Indeed, and I have been doing that already. The only thing missing is the "discovery" of flipping through the stations and finding some eclectic program playing tunes from a newer artist (or old one that I am unfamiliar with).

But Ami, question - do you have any knowledge about why streaming is blocked outside of the U.S. (or certain regions)?

That didn't work either - it just embedded it again.

BT the Kid Rock fan. Who'd a thunk it.

I saw Kid about six years ago in Cleveland. It was a great show, but all those things you hear about what goes on at his shows is true. There were young girls on guys shoulders with there tops off. To show you how old I am, I'm thinking, "I wonder if I know that girls father."

Here's another favorite. No Doubt (Gwen is hot hot hot). This is a very soulful version of Don't Speak.

I saw Kid Rock several years ago in Detroit - seriously one of the best concerts ever!

Wow, I dig this one. I want to debate/share/invite the lyrics into a place for discussion.....I usually focus more on the music vs the lyrics...as I am a musician classically trained. Beethoven was a man of few words

but, I wish I were  a punk rocker begs me to write ....Love her lyrics, Henny.

Thanks.....

How about when the days of yesteryear were ripe with oranges for dessert and an occasional home baked pie.

Those were the days. Simplicity and fewer choices (except for the ugly Avocado green kitchen appliances ha!)
