Ok still not gotten around to finishing the holiday blog, but had to get this off my chest.

Last night when I went to bed I stuck on my DAB digital radio. I was after some music to listen to whilst reading. After coming back from the states where it seems that every town has at least two rock stations and even the interstate between Vegas and LA has it's own dedicated rock station, I'd hoped that with the introduction of digital and more availability of licences the station choice might have been better.

But no, the only new station added was one called Birdsong, and yes it is a case of a ronseal moment, it does exactly what it says on the tin, it plays recordings of birdsong 24x7. Who on earth wants to listen to that? Not only that but how can that be commercially viable, unless they are playing sublimal tweets that are really adverts for trill or something, they're not going to make any money.

Maybe I should shit or get off the pot and do something about it and set-up my own radio station, but maybe there's just not the appetite for a rock only station in the UK.
