I love.

Electronic music.















It's incredible what can be done with a computer and some knobs and wheels and buttons.

More like the year of Megan FOX from Transformers. Shes so hot.

And about Sirius: I have XM satellite radio and many times I've gotten kind of angry at it because satellite radio's big this is it being "commercial free" right? But they seem to find clever little ways of sneaking commercials into the broadcasts. Now if I didn't care about having to hear commercials all the time, I would've stayed with regular FM radio!

She's a hottie alright but I was talking about music.

My parents got one, and we listened to it while going to visit some relations. I think they need some help in the organization of their programming (( is it really necessary to have 4 or 5 "classic rock" stations? 2 "smooth jazz" stations and no avant/free jazz? punk has it's own station, but no prog/psych?, all the electronic music is listed as "dance"?, where's all the ethnic/world/folk music? )), but what they do have is surprisingly good. Unlike conventional radio, I can always find something I like on air, all the time. Granted, it doesn't play everything I like, but there's no shortage of quality music, which gives it definite points. The Pure Jazz, metal and Vault stations are particularly nice.

The only problem I have is that my parents are going to have access to all this music and still only listen to the classic rock stations playing the same music they've been listening to for decades, I know it. Their knowledge and appreciation of music begins and ends with '60s/'70s pop rock - anything before or after is completely alien and unappealing to them, so that's all they're going to listen to. My dad may pop on the bluegrass and NFL stations, but that's about it.

I saw TV on the Radio being played on the "college rock" station, and tried to take a listen as I've seen them mentioned here a lot but haven't heard them yet. Unfortunately, 3-seconds into the song my mother cries out "turn that crap off, that's not even music!" and after a bit of arguing I changed the station.
