Andrew Dubber, one of the guys behind Twadio, and a Senior Lecturer in Music Industries at Birmingham City University, said: "With most of the songs on the radio these days, you already know how they go. You can just hear them in your head.

"So why actually play them? We use the simple suggestive power of the mere mention of a catchy song to start that tune playing in your brain."

Twat.

Best use of the stupid tag so far this year.

Reason #1,534,281 why Twitter is for hipster morons.

Is this the same guy who made the $999 iPhone app?

I'm going to take this idea to the next level. My silent radio station doesn't send you anything. It just lets you think of your own songs to get stuck in your head.

My radio is invisible and silent. You have to first imagine that you are reading the song titles, and then the song will be stuck in your head.

Any investors? EIP

What's funny is that this is stupid (and it very well is stupid), but somehow people still think that John Cage is some kind of farking genius.

He could decapitate you with an uppercut, that's genius.

Eddie Adams from Torrance:

I guess I should have hit the post button before I got up to make that cup of coffee. You beat me to it!

LOL Well done.

Yeah, but I bet he doesn't have to pay any royalties to the RIAA.

Idiots.

Why visit Twitter when you can just imagine being a douchebag and save yourself the bandwidth?

Phil Moskowitz:

GENIUS. Love that movie.

Todd Snider approves.

I listening to the sound of one hand golf-clapping right now.

I am both evil and immature.

/and if you look at the status bar, quite transparent

Great! Finally a way I can listen to the new Kanye West album.

I play a lot of John Cage on my Twadio station.

My new website allows you to download the songs straight to your head at only 99 cents a song soooo here goes ...

" Won't Get Fooled Again " by the Who ..

ok now send me 99 cents...

/ fool me once shame on you ...
//fool me twice won't get fooled again ... unless you voted for that asshat twice farking red state idiots

csi_yellowknife: I play a lot of John Cage on my Twadio station.

It just repeats the same tune every 4 minutes and 33 seconds, though.

/Or, variations on the same tune, if you're a real music nerd.

Don't LOOK at Dorf's Link!

What a stunning commentary on the state of music in this day and age. One wonders if the next part of the business model is to actually play the hooks from all your favorite songs, so you get some music enjoyment, but only in 20 second increments (and 60 seconds of ads of course). You know, to keep up with your oh-so-busy schedule.

But why stop there? Surely society has moved to a point where 3:20 is far too long for pop hits? Isn't it time that we demanded our pop stars to "just get to the good part already"? Really the rest of the song is just a bunch of stupid words and notes, who needs it? Can't you just yell "Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeeeeaaaahhh" and be done with it?

/My lawn, you should get off it.

A profoundly stupid idea, off-the-scale stupid, light years beyond most other stupid ideas.

Really, really, farkin' stupid.

Actually a nice wide band of no radio would be nice for those who have the iPod-to-radio thingys.

John and Yoko did it first

For some reason this put me in mind of Numbers Stations (new window). I guess it's more subliminal than covert though.

when i read the headline, for some reason i heard dennis leary's voice

God damn hipsters.

Do they have a request line? I want to hear Depeche Mode's Silence Is Golden.

laststarfighter: Do they have a request line? I want to hear Depeche Mode's Silence Is Golden.

You mean Enjoy the Silence?

Dumbest thing I've heard since "beer-flavored" popcorn.

I did appreciate the link, though, as it tuned me in to the Hamster powered paper shredder.

What moron wrote this? It's bad enough that editors are being taken out of the media stream. Now we can't even get literate writers?

whoops, should have been Enjoy The Silence. I'm stupid.

I might trade in my Pet Rock^TM to join that service!

i upgraded my radio to technicolor

my car stereo has a power button.....
and a remote control...yup...it has a power button as well.
some old technologies are just better

Does this bullsh*t cost money? Because if you pay for something like this you should probably just go ahead and eliminate yourself from the gene pool.

It's stupid, sure, but SoundExchange are still gonna try and extract royalties from him somehow.

Know how I know you DRTFA?

IT WORKS!!!!!! I got 'Safety Dance' in my head! How much do I owe you??

It provides the user with a unique public image that proclaims loudly and proudly; "I'm much stupider than you can even imagine".

At least its go that goin for it.

This has to be one of the dumbest things I've heard so far this year.

And I hope that the runners of this station find some way to make tons of money doing it.
