Listening to music

Last May when we got the new HD TV we got rid of the bulky entertainment center we used to have the TV, stereo and other things in.

Since there was no room in the new living room for the stereo I sold it.

Nowadays I often listen to music in the car on on the regular radio in the office, or to Swedish radio on the computer.

But our HD TV lineup also have many channels devoted just to music. There is a channel for pretty much anything I could possibly be in the mood for, and it is in digital quality. Great when cleaning or just wanting to listen to something when I am cooking for instance.

We have 999 channels on our TV, and these are the music only channels:

Today I landed on 421 by chance, and it turned out to be 90s Hits. Cool! I can tell I was a teenager during the most part of the 90s, I know almost all the songs by heart!

I used to love MTV and before MTV came to a TV near me I used to tape the weekly Hit Show Trackslistan now Tracks on SR in Sweden (an early form of piracy perhaps?!) I knew all the artists and songs, because I was too lazy to remove the talk in between the songs (Kaj Kindvall!), so after listening on each weeks show over and over, the info stuck...

And my absolute favorite songs I keep on my MP3-player, which is also my mobile Nokia phone... So who needs a stereo anymore?
