The Worst Radio Station On The Planet

I've been monkeying about with radios recently - mainly scanning the shortwave bands for obscure broadcasts from far-flung regions of the planet. It's a bizarre hobby, I know, but it kills a few hours and can be quite therapeutic in these troubled times of depressing news overload.

I've also been monkeying about with internet radio quite a bit too, having downloaded a piece of software called 'Tuner' (for Linux) that not only allows you to stream your favourite stations from all over the globe, but presents you with a new random selection every day for your consideration and listening pleasure.

This is how I discovered the worst radio station on the planet and promptly saved it to my favourites. It's called Adroit Jazz Underground and I'm convinced it will one day come in handy if I need to get rid of guests who have overstayed their welcome.

Quite how anybody can listen to this shite is beyond me, but I find myself tuning in just to see if there is actually a piece of "music" that doesn't sound like 15 deranged lunatics all playing different songs in different timings with different instruments. It's remarkable and unsettling to think that people actually enjoy this crap, but hey, it's a strange world as is becoming more self-evident every day. Perhaps they listen to it for the same reason I do: curious bemusement.
