Someone else should have a chance to hear Ilyana Kadushin read it—wonderful!<br /><br />I've worked up a few Pandora stations. My favorites are Leonard Cohen, k.d. lang, and the Beatles.<br /><br />For times when I need quiet I listen to my favorite radio stations via iTunes—The Jazz Groove or Jazz FM91. Hah! I just noticed the iTunes has a jazz station called the Jonathan Channel. :-)<br /><br />I used to listen to oldies on North Shore 104.9 from my computer, but they've recently switched to some terrible universally acceptable? canned programming geared to everyone and no one—very disappointing. I loved their shows and news from home, too. Mostly I think about the people who worked at the station and were there. They made it interesting and local. Where did they go?<br /><br />xoMaureen Harringtonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03499876353651763590noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1001156153899984046.post-28904077736183015502014-01-28T17:23:20.452-05:002014-01-28T17:23:20.452-05:00I was out today (dentist) so treated myself to a s...I was out today (dentist) so treated myself to a stop at Target (bad girl) and bought the Grammy 2014 compilation. Love it! So if you want to get a tiny bit hip, that's a good start. The only song I don't like out of 18 tracks is Kendrick Lamar's Swimming Pools. There is a little bit of everything, including country. Love Daft Punk, Love P!nk, love Macklemore, Ed Sheeran... Such fun. And Lilly Dodd, thanks for the clarification.

Yesterday I created a "Hollies" station and was transported back to the magical year of 1965...now I understand why my parents didn't know who the Beatles were. What is, after all, the formal name for Pitbull? Mr. Pit? Mr. Bull...so confusing. And Mr. Skrillex is beyond me entirely.

I didn't watch the Grammy's (though with so many FB friends posting about it I feel like I know what happened). I worked for 4 years for a group of local radio stations. One was supposed to be a Hot Adult Contemporary format (but it wasn't really) but the one I always chose to listen to was the oldies station. I was somewhat distressed when they switched from 50s 60s and 70s to 60s 70s and 80s because it meant the music of my childhood was now considered oldies! <br />I do love my Pandora. My stations cover a lot of variations (from Glen Miller to Haley Reinhart). Right now I'm hooked on one I built around Matchbox Twenty. :) Shellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14670080650353529812noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1001156153899984046.post-19880718044342569502014-01-28T13:42:00.357-05:002014-01-28T13:42:00.357-05:00"all those acrobatics and more withOUT syncin..."all those acrobatics and more withOUT syncing . . ."Gaylinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13904849415778217430noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1001156153899984046.post-17394419027338921682014-01-28T13:36:54.310-05:002014-01-28T13:36:54.310-05:00I'm a big Pandora fan.

On the writing station, I finally found some of the very cool techno-tango music that's been used a few times on DWTS and has been cropping up in the local Starbies. Very cool stuff.

But then I hear something I disagree with and, next thing you know, I'm arguing with the radio, not paying attention to traffic, and, well, when you're trying to merge on the Parkway at rush hour, bad things happen.<br /><br />I switch around from country, to classic rock (70s), to classical, to contemporary Christian (this mostly when my husband is in the car). Not in the car, I have my iPhone. And too bad I missed the Keith Urban guitar duel. He's amazing. THAT I would have tuned in to see. Oh, and Sirius has a Bruce Springsteen channel I tune to sometimes.<br /><br />I've tried Pandora, but no matter what I choose, I hear the same five songs three times in two hours.
