The Current
October 7, 2008
After a hiatus of several months, I've been listening to the Current (part of Minnesota Public Radio) again today. It has been great, and I've found myself really enjoying some artists I hadn't encountered before, including Santogold and Stars.
Especially helpful for me is that MPR publishes the list of songs they play.
I had been feeling unhappy with Pandora lately. The stations I've configured with Pandora quickly get stuck in a rut. I read once that top 40 stations are so popular because people tend to carry ~40 songs in their reserve memory. It's hubristic to think I'm better than average, but at the very least I like a diversity. The Current hasn't repeated any songs all day, which is much more than I could say for Pandora.
For today the Current has my vote. Two thumbs up.
