Whenever I go to Lebanon I always find it really weird but nice how the radio is local and in your face about it. You know what I’m talking about, really proud to be in this city or that, broadcasting live from the capital or whatever.

Ever since I moved to London I’ve not actually tried listening to any radio station. The main reason behind that is because the music is utter shite on the local radio stations. I mean seriously music that potentially makes my ears bleed. I’m sorry but it’s a tough for me to subject myself to constant repeated rubbish, day in day out.

The problem is by not listening to the local radio station I actually miss out on something very fundamental. News and information about the city I live in. Today to get me through work(it’s been exceptionally busy lately and I need anything to help me through the day as 12 hours of CAD design can seriously effect your manliness, ::ahem::). I’ve been listening to Capitol FM. Now most of the day was pretty poor, but the morning show was brilliant. The last time I actually heard/saw Johnny Vaughan was when he was doing the Big Breakfast, when I was in Nottingham. He’s lost nothing and really does give a good start to the day.

In direct comparison to say Richard Bacon who does The going home show. Now he’s really not all that great to listen to. He’s a bit of an asshole to the people that present the news, weather and traffic, so I’ve got absolutely no time for his stupid ass (just because he doesn’t seem to have much respect for the people around him). What’s really funny is the man seems to follow Johnny wherever he goes. Last I saw Richard Bacon he was following (or at least trying to follow) on from Johnny on the Big Breakfast. That show got cancelled shortly after.

So here’s the question, anyone have any good radio shows (with an internet feed) that actually plays good music?
