I’m not sure what this service is, who owns it, or how they make money.
Just found out that they are owned by Aroha Ltd based in the UAE. My
I tuned into this, excellent. The "No Commercials" reminds me of my 80's teenage years with one FM station that we referred to as "We Love Led Zeppelin". It would often have "commercial-free marathons". It was definitely the station we had on for gatherings/parties.

Adding: If I remember correctly, the first 6 weeks of broadcasting were not only commercial-free, but DJ-free as well. It was just good music playing over the radio 24/7 with only the call letters being announced every hour. A mystery. Late at night they would play unusual classics such as Rush's 2112 album in its entirety. Magical times.
I guess that the commercial free debut for a radio station was a popular tactic to attract listeners. There was a rock music station out of New York City back in the mid 1970’s that was commercial free with no blathering DJ’s for their first summer. It called itself Big Apple Radio or something like that. I was commuting from Dutchess County to Westchester, NY that summer and I had a commercial free 2 hour round trip commute. It was probably 1974 or 1975. Try to remember, if you were cognizant or alive at the time, how we had to listen to music in cars then.
We have SiriusXM radio in the car and the DJ’s really ruin the music listening experience for us.

Art Pepper (1957) - Art Pepper Meets the Rhythm Section


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=16OoypHXcps

Art Pepper Meets the Rhythm Section is a 1957 jazz album by saxophonist Art Pepper with Red Garland, Paul Chambers, and Philly Joe Jones, who were the rhythm section for Miles Davis's quintet at the time. The album is considered a milestone in Pepper's career. And one of my favorite Jazz albums.

Bonnie Raitt - Love Sneaking Up On You. This song embodies all the universal emotions Bonnie sings about - lust, unrequited love, longing, rage. She makes music for grownups, and this is a song for intelligent grownups. Go Bonnie!

Gerry Rafferty - Baker Street

Another song for intelligent grownups...

I read he was raised in Philadelphia.

I'm not familiar with a lot of King Crimson's work but I think Robert Fripp is an amazing guitarist and seems quite experimental. I like this song ("Three of a Perfect Pair").

If you’re looking for additional ways to irritate your wife I find playing The Talking Drum with its transition to Larks Tongue Part 2 to be particularly effective. Higher volumes are better 8-)

I can’t seem to just post those two songs so here’s the entire King Crimson Lark’s Tongues in Aspic album. The above are the last two songs.

Thanks Artful Dodger, I will take that under advisement. I have not tried it yet with the volume cranked to 11, it might just do the trick to tip her over the edge. I may switch to a random schedule of high and low volume levels to see what effect that has on her. By the way it is not so much to irritate her as to break her spirit.
