i sing the praises of xm radio

if you don't have xm radio (or sirius) you need to have it. we got it for a christmas present in 2003 and have only grown to love it more with each passing month. i mostly listen to 44 (classic alternative), 8 (eighties), 54 (newer classic alternative), 47 (alternative), 75 (the starbucks station---don't judge), and 70 (real jazz). Their classic country (hank's place) and alt country stations are good too. I was listening to it today and heard some songs by this band nouvelle vague. they have done covers of 80's songs in bossa nova style. the songs you have always loved but may have gotten a bit sick of now done in new and interesting ways. i used to have xm in the car and it was a godsend for long drives. (Like when I drove up to the UP. The comedy station and the XMPR made the trip much more bearable.) My husband yanked the cord though and it no longer works in the car. Now whenever i have to listen to regular radio in the car I am sickened by how horrible it is.

you have my promise if you get xm you will never regret it and your quality of life will be increased. (i usually would not argue that a consumer good will make you happier but i vouch for xm on this count.)
