Lybia - Tunes from طرابلس‎ (Tripoli)

So that Uzbek "country" station was annoying to refresh but pretty great, huh? 

Pinky's a wuss! He gave up and cut off the bonus pop station as soon as he heard "that damn 'I Wanna Be a Billionaire so Frickin' Baaaaaaad' song come on." We suppose that even the regime of a brutal dictator can't save us from that little ditty. 

Perhaps we can escape it in the "Great Socialist People's Libyan Arab Jamahiriya" aka Libya. We'll bet ya dollars to donuts we will...

Rehab FM - which we imagine to be pronounced rehAAb and less like a place such as the Betty Ford Clinic - is located in Tripoli, another city on the sunny shores of the Mediterranean. Tripoli, which looks like this in Arabic: طرابلس‎, is only 186 nautical miles from Malta, Ellen's old stomping grounds, and a mere 4,265 furlongs (or 533 miles) from Béjaïa where we were a few days ago. 

It's getting to be a small world, eh?
