I think I'm becoming a grumpy old git...the music played on radio 2 these days has started to piss me off...and I've found myself listening to radio 4 a lot more over the past year..oh dear I'm turning into Victor Meldrew... :D :D :D
I tried to be normal once, worst two minutes of my life.

Strange you say that.

I've listened to Radio 2 since the mid eighties. Put it on a couple of weeks ago and after five minutes wanted to listen to a talk show. Ended up on Radio 4 and there was a half hour interview with the UK's only professor on brewing and distilling.

I don't think we are getting old, maybe our tastes are just changing like they do throughout out lives.

Here is a link to the interview. Its only on for about half an hour, but worth a listen.

Quite fond of XFM and Jazz myself. Always liked two and four. Four sometimes has the loveliest emotive, expressive female voices in plays. I like the book like quality of radio plays when they have the right voice or voices. Interesting that there are a few of us who have lived long enough to develop our flavours.
