Radio silence, but you 'hear' catchy tunes
A NEW radio station has been launched that plays music silently.
Internet-based radio station "Twadio" plays songs by popular artists ranging from Rihanna to Oasis – but not in a way anyone can listen to.
Rather than being able to hear the songs "listeners" just get messages sent to their computer or mobile every few minutes about what song is playing.
The creators of the station claim that simply seeing the name and artist of a popular track causes you to remember the music, and that is as good as hearing it.
Andrew Dubber, who came up with the idea, said: "Like this: U Can't Touch This by MC Hammer and now, like magic, you can hear it."
