I find the selection of music on the radio just as homogenous and boring as the pre-packaged selection of talk radio jammed down our throats. FM is mostly devoted to a rehash of the same 80's mix of 25 songs played in rotation or some sort of unmusical hip-hop garbage.

The only thing that offers any kind of alternative is the oldies station, WPEN, and some college stations (like Temple) which offers a selection of blues and blue grass.

Also, just for the hell of it, I decided to listen to the country station for any mention of Johnny Paycheck's death last night. No such luck. Modern country music like most other genres of music is a watered down cookie-cutter hybrid of pop. Whether you liked Paycheck or not, he was real. You would think they would have the decency at WXTU to at least mention his passing. In this age of predatory capitalism that is far too much to expect I guess. That half of minute mentioning Paycheck's passing could be devoted to advertising for Viagra or a vaccum pump.
