We had a Ford Focus for 4 days and it came with SiriusXM Radio. It was an interesting time, but I’m still not sure that service is worth $10 – $20 a month. Here’s a handful of things I’ve discovered about the service and myself:
- There really is no need for a Grateful Dead station or a Bruce Springsteen station for that matter.
- Chris Matthews sounds even more insane when you’re listening to him and not watching him.
- Soul Town is possibly the best radio station ever created.
- The comedy stations are truly not funny.
- There are too many commericials, considering you’re paying for the service.
- Classical music while driving is dangerous for me.
- The Jazz station would be better if it was KJZZ.
- Countdown with Keith Olbermann is not made for radio.
- Nina Blackwood and Swedish Egil are still alive.
- 80s Music > 90s Music.
- I am so over Pearl Jam, U2 and R.E.M.
- Traffic in Phoenix, Detroit and Las Vegas sounds worse than LA traffic.
- The Coffee House station increased my roadrage.
- The reggae station, The Joint, is nowhere near as bad as I thought it would be, but they do need to kick back on the Marley.
- The Latin stations are infinitely better than what’s played on broadcast.
That’s about it…for my listening choices. I thought it pretty neat there was a station that played Showtunes, but the ones I listened to I own already. I wonder though, what others get out of the service.
