    It's better than just bitching about it here on the board. But, I'm glad to hear that there were a bunch of other people out there that fealt the same way.

    It's an easy change for them to make, and after they hear from a couple of listeners, I'm sure they will. Sirius is very user oreinted, and great about making changes and adjustments to keep people happy.

    They are user friendly, which is a huge reason why they are so good.

    what is the problem? I've never heard anything offensive, but I really don't pay too much attention

    Yeah, the "wanna share a needle" is a bit creepy, but I can usually mentally tune myself out during the bumpers.

    I think the Elderly Woman one is pretty cool.

    What I like is when they do a bumper related to a band, then play one of that band's songs.

    I'm sorry to "pirate" your thread...but since XM and Sirius will be one of the same soon...

    XM plays a TON of PJ! I keep it on while at work and monitor what's on...
    They play their fair share of PJ classics (Betterman, Alive, Even Flow, etc.) but they also play a lot of "rare" tunes and live licks...have heard quite a few from Benaroya and Live on Two Legs.

    That's cool. I think I have only heard one live PJ on Sirius, it was on Classic Rewind when they did a segment of bands covering other bands and they played PJ playing Baba O'Riley. I'd love to hear some Benaroya.

    I wonder if that's why they don't have djs on Lithium because they are thinking about the merger and will fill in that spot with an XM dj.

    When is all of that merger crap actually going into effect?
    I really like XM, but who am I to argue with more channels?!?! :p

    I think they are having trouble getting it approved by the FCC. Howard said that Mel Karmizin has had to continue to go to meetings to try to convince the government to allow it.

    Probably not for a while. Last I heard (and it's several months old):

    By the end of the summer, we may have a date when things will start happening, or things might be starting to happen. Of course, this is all if things go to plan.

    I also heard that your current XM or SIRIUS radio will continue to receive only that programming...you'd have to buy a new radio to get the other programming.

    Most importantly, no programming will be lost. (YAY!)

    They were also considering a multi-level pricing system.

    Example: Music costs $X a month. Audio from TV channels costs $X a month. Maybe an "girls" package with Martha Stewart, Oprah, etc, and another "guys" channel with guy programming.

    Once again I don't know the most current info or what exactly IS going on, but I support that. If someone doesn't want music, or doesn't want NBA, then why should they have to pay for it? And if they want the whole thing, there should be a special programming package of $15 a month or so. And, of course, the yearly or other extended plans need to continue...

    You don't have FM radio for music and a seperate unit for AM talk or sports, do you? Why should satellite be the same?


    But i'm completely off topic here...

    I'm sitting here in the middle of my empty living room, and #24 just cranked Once for me (just for me of course), and I feel a whole lot better now. ...Which reminds me that the at the Saturday show at the Gorge last time, when they played Once, I was on the aisle, section A far right and this little maybe 8 year old girl, loved and rocked out to the end of Once, and Ed would scream Once!, and this kid would scream Once! back and raise her fist in the air. Cutest and coolest fucking thing I've ever seen... Once will always be one of my faves because of that little rockin' girl. I love this band!!!

    Right after the whole XM-Sirius merger info hit the news XM posted on their site saying that customers would not have to purchase any additional equipment to fully utilize even those Sirius channels, as they would all be integrated.
    I don't know if this has recently changed...I sure as shit hope not...but those were the words directly from XM.

    I think he is wrong about having to buy a new radio and choosing the different programs. I heard Mel Karmizin (who will be the new CEO) on Howard Stern and he said nothing like that. He said that all radios will continue to work and you will just get all the programming. When you think about it, it doesn't make sense for them to charge more for the service since they are still trying to get more people to subscribe.

    Exactly.
    And IF they were going to require new radios you'd think both XM and Sirius would want to unload their old radios and come out with "new" ones.
    I think 300+ channels is gonna be damn cool!

    I just hope they keep the prices similar to what they are now.

    Making people buy new radios would also hurt them with getting approval from the FCC.

    From what Karmizin said on Stern the prices should stay the same. The following is from a summary of what happened on Stern's show:

    Mel noted the subscription price for SIRIUS had remained the same at $12.95 throughout its existence, and believed that wasn’t likely to change if the merger took place. Mel went on to say subscribers wouldn’t have to buy new radios if the merger went through either, and that they’d still be able to pick up programming that was originally exclusive to XM, and vice versa. Mel then noted the merger was designed with the consumer in mind, and that he was confident it would be approved because of all the “advantages” it would provide not only for the listeners, but also for the stores that sold satellite radios.

    It's cool that PJ are the top artist but none of their songs are in the top ten. Means they are playing a lot of different PJ songs.

    Maybe it's just me, but in the past 25 or so minutes, I heard "The elderly woman behind the counter in a small town's favorite radio station" followed by Black.

    A few songs before that, I heard the promo "Where you don't have to come as you are" followed by Nirvana's Lithium.

    IMO, that's how it should be. If they're going to play a bumper that "teases" a band, they should play that band next. Don't play something hinting at Pearl Jam (or any band) then play U2 or Alanis or anything. -- Not that i'm against those bands, which i'm not, but don't let me down like that.

    I just heard this song come on and wondered what it was.

    WE NEED MORE CRAZY MARY! :)


    I love the twangy-picky guitar sound in the studio version.
