Tastes of the Great Unwashed

Traffic Island Discsis a radio programme [on Resonance FM] about music, people and spaces. We roam the streets looking for people wearing headphones, stop them, and interview them while recording whatever they are listening to. The result is a half hour tour of an area of London, heard through people's personal tastes and rhythms. The site has the archived shows [Broadband (or save as mp3s)]. [via City of Sound]

Well Shoreditch is listening to David Axelrod. Quelle fucking suprise. Nice idea though.

Nice link, Blue Stone. This sort of thing would be a lot of fun on a worldwide scale.
