Hooked On Sirius




Its official. I'm hooked on Sirius Satellite Radio. I've only been a subscriber for a few days but I already feel the need to constantly listen. Its been pure joy for this music fan to switch channels every 30 minutes or so and hear a completely different kind of music without interruption. When was the last time you heard String Cheese Incident or Bob Marley on terrestrial radio? What about Miles Davis segueing into Bob Dylan?

I purchased Sirius primarily for its inclusion of Jimmy Buffett's Radiomargaritaville and the eventual debut of the king of all media - Howard Stern. However, I've since discovered the Big 80s (Channel 8) with three of the original MTV VJs (Mark Goodman, Nina Blackwood and Alan Hunter); Motown Mondays on 60s Vibrations (Channel 6) and Jam On's (Channel 17) non-stop programming of The Grateful Dead, Phish, SCI and more.

The cool part is I know there is still much more to be discovered, including the news and talk selections. I'm beginning to sound like a commercial for Sirius, but I can't help myself. This is truly one of the best investments we've ever made and I highly recommend it for any music lover.

And we all know I'd take Sirius over XM. Why? Because Clear Channel, as I understand it, is a major investor in XM. Enough said.
