Radio 1 Live Lounge

One of the ways music is coming to us faster than ever is through the radio. You wouldn't believe it, but the radio is still a great way of finding new music - new songs and new artists get airplay. It's the mother of all mediums, and some of the new improvements on your old radio include satellite technology like Sirius, which allows access to innumerable stations and static-free listening (for a price, of course).

I love jamming out to Capital Radio in the morning as I get ready for school, but I also love listening to Radio 1's Live Lounge - in case you don't know, artists come on to the show, play one of their own tunes live, and then usually cover another song. It's brilliant. There are some duds, as would be expected, but so much of what comes out is simply amazing.

And whoops, in case you miss it on the radio, you can tune in right away on the Capital Radio website, or even look at old videos of the recording sessions that have been put up on YouTube (once again, thank you, Steve Chen, for arguably the most useful site on the web).

Here is one of my favorites, the Noisettes (famous for "Don't Upset the Rhythm"), performing The Killer's classic, "When You Were Young" (click on the links for these originals). This is pure class.
