Ahhh h... i see. So it's much like Gabriel recording his 3rd album in German:

this is in my top ten albums pile. LOVE it.

PLEASE LET US TAKE SOME TIME AND RECOGNIZE THAT THIS HAS NOW SURPASSED THE [color:red]1000 POST MARK.

COOL.

jesus, why do I even bother ...

i used to be hooked to ebay, i had to cut my self off

eBay is addictive. so, i was told I couldnt buy things anymore.

I suggest we go back to a simpler, more gentle time when we had topics like "Female Singers", and "Songs about dogs".

I don't know that the Devo version has achieved equal or greater popularity to the original, but I'll leaving the policing up to MarcO .

how dare you disagree with me?!! heehee

i see your point, but i'd suggest that there are a lot of people who thought that was a Devo song when it first came out. it was HUGE and arguably their biggest hit. and one could make your same point about the BNL cover of Lovers. I mean, who doesn't know thats a Cockburn tune?

right you are ...

Dude, is Dylan covering Hendrix? (Original versions of songs which have seen covers achieve equal or greater popularity outside of the realm of music geek-dom).

1. Otis Redding - Hard to Handle (covered by Black Crowes)

2. Bruce Cockburn - Lovers in a Dangerous Time (BNL)

3. Rolling Stones - Satisfaction (Devo)

However, there is something about his approach to showbiz that I reallly appreciate. Unabashedly commercial - knows his audience VERY well. But, quite irreverent.

careful, you might just become a fan

so, at least tell us the fight was over something good like "Are Monster cables worth the price?" or, "-10db pad or not?" and not something lame like "I hope Bobby plays Iko Iko" ... bizarre.

so, could you sell it?

"... doctor, it hurts when i do this ... "

Oh for sure, bouche. My music fav's are:

26 Left of Center

22 First Wave

17 Jam On

24 90s Alt

71 Jazz Cafe

70 Planet Jazz

33 Area 33, and

07 Total 70s

but really, I'm happy with almost all of the music channels. i dont need to hear only those songs that i already own. I like hearing new stuff, some of which I like, some not and that's cool.

I've had Sirius since late '05 and love it. Got it mosty for Howard, and eveything else has been a bonus. Yes, over the short term, most channels are somewhat repetitive. This is the most common complaint of new subscribers. Weekly playlists are not huge, but they are much bigger than regular radio. Over the medium- and long-term, all Sirius channels do add many new songs, artists, etc. And, most channels play a number of artists you will simply not hear on regular radio. Ive been exposed to Lily Allen, Regina Spektor, TV on the Radio, LCD Soundsystem, Hot Chip, Editors and a bunch other cool stuff that I never would have heard otherwise.

Im sorry that you are not happy with it, TomFoolery. Give it time, I have a feeling your opinion will change. You'll find a few channels that you like and will eventually flip around between them. That seems to be what most people have done and I dont know a single person who has returned it after giving it a chance.

Really, there is no comparison between satellite and regular radio. Regular radio is at least 40% commercials and very repetitive. Try driving on a long trip with a regular radio, and see how much you miss Sirius - even after only a few weeks. (You cant tell me you miss the commercials.) And regular radio is censored - it wont play songs like Black Swan by Thom Yorke.

As for others complaining about paying for it. You pay for cable, dont ya? You can get free TV with an antenna. But, who would? Would you take Sirius over regular radio if it was free? If you would, then it is superior, and the price is a personal willingness-to-pay issue.

doh! :blush:
