Radio Radio

There are some things here on the radio in Louisville that I have really come to love. First, let me start by saying that I haven't really been a big fan of radio since the late 90s. Once the teen pop sensation took over, I couldn't listen to a whole lot. But here in Louisville there are two stations that I've just come to love.

The first would be one of the public radio stations. There's 3 or 4 here, but this one plays almost exclusively indie music. Everything from Richard Cheese to VHS or Beta to Stars to Imogen Heap. Then, every night at 6 is bluegrass hour. And they usually end with a little Jazz on the weekends.

The other station is a Christian talk radio/gospel station. And when I say gospel I don't mean Tye Tribbet or the Winans. I'm talking about good ol' fashion white boy gospel music. Bands like Gold City, Signature Sound, and Oakridge Boys. Something about a group harmonizing like it's nobody's business, singing a story, and probably playing a banjo. I think I really like the story telling part. It's kinda like the old hymns we sometimes still sing in church. They tell a story about God. We don't have that much these days, and if I have to get it from my gospel music, then so be it.

Also, since it is a Christian talk radio station, they have different preachers' sermons on throughout the day. My favorite, which I only get about 10 minutes of while driving to school, is Alistair Begg. I don't get to hear most of his message, but there's something about a man with a Scottish accent that makes me believe pretty much anything he says.
