I wouldn't say much more obscure stuff. Maybe it's due to my listening habits, but it seems like a lot of the stations are very similar in format, so several stations are equally likely to play the same stuff, which doesn't leave much room for very obscure stuff. There's exceptions, and maybe I'm spoiled from listening to my ipod, but it's not like you're hearing some new crazy thing after another (although if anyone else has it and disagrees, I'd love to hear about it)!

I have an album by Kathryn Williams and Neill MacColl, but it never occured to me there was be a connection.
