downtempo spy electronica

I love iTunes and the fact that it introduced me to a world of radio I didn't even know existed.

During a random browse with a few brief clicks here and there, I was listening to radioioJam in mere moments. I kept on listening for about three days! What a fantastic mix of music I could really appreciate.

Being a guitarist, I am a bit of a jazz head and I love the blues, so I am always looking for music that contains these musical essentials. RadioioJam had it all, and a little bit more besides. I will certainly keep dipping into this station via iTunes "eclectic" radio section.

SomaFM

A few more clicks brought me more recently to SomaFM and their Secret Agent stream.

"The soundtrack for your stylish, mysterious, dangerous life. For Spies and PIs too!"

Since danger is never far away in my sleuthy life, I was quick to ensure a soundtrack accompanied my every moment, and even now, sexy, "downtempo spy electronica" backs this message that I type, in a way James Bond would be proud of.

With that I shall leave you all to explore the gold mine that is iTunes' streaming radio listings. Don't go below 128kbps if you want a pleasant, almost cd-quality experience.

I am off to find a beautiful woman, get her deeply involved in a russian/cuban/japanese drug plot I am trying to unravel, rescue her from the bad guys, before inevitably being unable to save her from her subsequent death, meanwhile my mission is a success and I will still be alive despite having been shot in the shoulder and fallen off a cliff in a burning music festival tent, living to go on yet another that will inevitably involve less convincing characters, larger, ever more bizarre set pieces, and a world I would only perceive mostly as green screen.
