I heard this bunch on the new "Sirius XMU" channel, the indie-rock college station. My eyeballs twitch every time I hear or see "Sirius" associated with XM Radio, even though I know that they merged back in July. I chose XM because I liked the channel lineup and I didn't like Sirius' lineup. And I especially thought Sirius were a bunch of morons to give Howard Stern $100 million in a five-year contract to come to satellite radio, which shrank his audience by something like 96 percent when he left broadcast radio.
So this whole merger leaves me cold. And I fully expect them to start raising their subscription rates, now that they are the sole provider of satellite radio.
Still, at least they say who the artist is. I like this tune.
About Me
- Marvin the Martian
- I am an alien here on this little planet. I've been sent to learn about life here, to observe people and things around me, and to become a better entity by applying the lessons that I learn here. I've chosen the name "Marvin the Martian" because he is familiar to many, and the Martian mindset isn't expected to be similar to a human's. Thank you for stopping by to read this little blog. I hope you'll come back.
