I like there style. Kinda backwoods front porch music. Like families used to make together.
But some of their lyrics are pretty twisted dark humor.

Who I am casting to today.
Not this song. In particular but a copulation.

Since the move, what little casting I've done has been in silence. I prefer it that way, any music is just something to tune out so I can focus on what I'm doing. sometimes the neighbors will be out working in their garages and playing '70s rock; late at night sometimes there is a party with mariachi and narco corridos.
Before the move I had neighbors who had a loud-country-through-crappy-speakers-while-gunning-the-engines-on-their-diesel-pickups habit. There, I played music they enjoyed as much as I enjoyed their noise: a mix of acid house groups (Cabaret Voltaire, Lords of Acid, S'Express), Russian rock (DDT, Nautilus Pompilius, Mashina Vremeni, and some Soviet Wave stuff), and some Kyrghistani folk music some friends sent me. And I have a much better sound system than they did.

Lived thru that for years! Finally put central heat pump in so I could go to sleep when the sun when down. I cast in the morning before 1000 and play classical, mostly. If I was casting for some reason after they got off work (?) or back from the fields, I played opera in Italian.

For a long time I tuned the cheapo portable radio to a local classical station, but it would fade in and out, and be off the air quite often, or I'd listen to Pandora on the smart phone. Now, I just listen to the voices in my head -- it's better, that way, because I get to pick what I want to listen to.

Probably the odd man out here but can't remember the last time I listened to music outside of the Church walls. I do listen while casting though to https://www.greatdetectives.net/detectives/big-list-time-radio-detective-shows/ & some of my favorite preacher/teachers. Like the music you guys listen to it does add to the enjoyment of casting.

Im very lucky in a real good radio station. Mostly classic rock of the 70's-80's and some 90's.
But they really love the '70's and '80's. Its largely equal split and have a hour of 70's @ "7" and same @ 8. Sunday is all acoustic. Limited commercials and always enjoyable sound.
Short of that its a blue tooth speaker and Classic Country with 80's and some 90's country. Then about a doz current artists they ya almost never hear on the radio.

A little thread drift here.
I have old school fluorescent lights in my shop/ loading room.
The static created by them make listening to FM radio almost unbearable.
Is there some sort of filter the I can put in my power cord the stop/lessen the static caused by fluorescent lights?

I used to work with mobile Sound systems in the 80's. And do sound system installation, diagnostics professionally. Balkin productions. WNPQ, Cleveland Coliseum, etc.
We had compressors and filters for that But often a hum would still be picked up in the amp anyway.
A simple fix would often be grounding the chassis of the audio device. Simple wire screwed to the metal frame of the audio component. Attached to the earth ground side of the electric socket, or to a pipe drove in the ground. Turning the chassis or your device into a simple grounded Faraday cage.
Another solution was to use shielded speaker wire, or shielded coax to a remote antenna if a receiver. If something is exposed that is not shielded, shield it.
In other words wrap shit in aluminum foil. Or put it in a metal pipe(conduit).
Also connecting the Audio to it's own dedicated grounded outlet can greatly reduce this.
Hope this helps.
