Odd Thoughts

The Radio

You know the radio situation is bad when you leave it on Creed because it's the best thing on.

Seriously folks, my parents gave me XM radio last weekend, and I've really enjoyed it so far. My only problem now is that there's too much stuff on the radio. I rarely hear a whole song. The system allows you to see what is playing on other stations while you're tuned in to one. So I get excited when I see Dave Matthews, so I click on that, but then I see that Ben Folds is on another station, so I click on that, only to find a live version of Achy, Breaky Heart, and who can pass that up? I'm sure I'll settle down with it soon, but so far I do more station hopping with XM than I did before.

I do miss getting Jim Rome. Hopefully he'll sign up soon.

I also wonder who listens to some of this stuff. There's an African music station. I'm not talking about music performed by African Americans, I'm talking about Ngoma: African Tribal Music. I also listened to CNN in Spanish: all heard was blah, blah-blah, blah-blah Janet Jackson blah, blah-blah, blah-blah Justin Timberlake.
