French Radio

Music I heard today.

French radio is interesting. Even the advertisements are a cultural lesson. But they play little bits of songs as a teaser for newly released albums.

I have to scramble to copy down lyrics of songs I like so I can listen to them later, because band names, which can be complicated, are even more complicated when you're hearing them in another language.
There are a lot of "musique nostalgique" stations here. More than I could find in America if I wanted to.
