    I don't know about Octane vs Squizz, but there's no comparison between Liquid Metal and Hard Attack. Liquid Metal is 1000x better the Hard Attack. I'm mostly upset that Octane isn't xL (uncensored), they got rid of the classic rap station on both platforms, and the Sirius DJs talk way more then XM ones ever did.


    See, on Lithium, I never heard DJ's at all. Are there DJ's now?

    Could it be that actually what has happened here is that XM and Sirius both got shittier after the merger? How is that possible?

    I'm hoping all the excess talk from djs we are hearing is just a transitional thing to let people know what is going on with the changes/merger etc. In the past on XM they rarely said anything. They just played music. I was disappointed to see Lucy and Ethyl missing. Hopefully there won't be much difference in the programming on the new ones.

    Oh, well then that blows. So you now no longer have any classic hip-hop after the merger?

    On that note, I could have sworn last year that Sirius had the NBA. Is that now only available if I buy the best of XM thing???

    Yeah they did. I'm not an NBA fan but I remember listening to some playoff games on Sirius last year.

    I tried listening to O&A when I had XM in my car and it was painfully funny how much they just copy Stern. Plus I found one of them very annoying as to how they throw their voice to make themself sound laidback but hip. It's funny that Howard went to Sirius and made Sirius become relevant and the dominate player in the takeover; while O&A went to XM and nobody cared.

    As a Sirius subscriber, there is no incentive to ever get the best of XM

    Yeah the best of XM does not appeal to me at all either.

    I do think it is lame to charge for the best of the service you don't have. It's a complete lie based on what Karmizen said before the merger.

    sugar ray on right now :eek: :D

    This afternoon, they played "Not Enough Time" by INXS. The old Lithium never played that. Help me understand the difference between Lithium and 90s on 9.

    On the upside, I like the new Kids Place Live, which replaced Kids Stuff. I have a six year old daughter and Kids Stuff played the same 20-30 songs over and over. There seems to me a little more variety with Kids Place Live.

    Local radio is so crappy. Once you have satellite radio, you can't go back to the FM way of life. It's a small price to pay not to listen to boring morning shows and annoying DJs all day long on FM. I'll gladly pay for my Sirius anyday.

    they played WWS on lithium. So I guess it's not a 90's alt station anymore?

    Nope, just Seal singing one of his cheesy tunes. Granted, it did come out in the 90's but how it made it onto an "Alternative Rock" station is beyond me.
    Seems like it should have been on a Light Hits kind of channel.

    Either way, it is awful!

    This morning I heard "Suck my Kiss" on Lithium and they beeped out the part where he says "motherfucker". I don't think songs were edited before the merger.

    Unbelievable. They NEVER would have played that shit before.

    Anyone complain yet? This is outrageous.
