New Radio Links Added

I added links on the right for my three favorite top 40 stations, all of which have on-line live streams:

1. BBC Radio 1. Imagine if NPR had 5 stations and one of them played Fall Out Boy, LL Cool J, and Rihanna. That's what you get with Radio 1--current Top 40 without commercials. Check out their playlist, tiered into A-, B-, and C-lists updated Thursdays. Also cool is that they archive all their shows for the week--I particularly like Jo Whiley's.

2. Capital FM. This was my favorite radio station when I was in London. It's also Top 40, although not as cutting edge as Radio 1. Recently they've limited their on-line streaming to UK addresses only; however, in the window that pops up telling you this, it lets you enter a UK postcode if you want to listen and conveniently provides a London postcode in the same frame.

3. Z100 - New York. This is the most-listened to Top 40 station in the US, and generally has a playlist that's more varied and innovative than most other Top 40 stations.
