are you sirius?

One of my favorite go-to channels in my car has always been Shuffle.  Planted firmly between The Pulse and Raw Dog, it has occupied preset spot number 4 for years now.  A great station playing the best (and worst sometimes) of every major genre; generally good for those “I haven’t heard this song in FOREVER moments”.

Apparently, Shuffle has become all Rolling Stones, ALL THE TIME.  

Now I like a few Stones songs, and I know they’ve been around forever (seriously, Keith Richards? Is he really alive or did someone dig him up? Ewww…) but a station that plays their music commercial free 24/7 is bound to play the same song more often than not. The album version, the live version, the acoustic version, the remastered version, the holy-shit-we’re-so-drunk-we-can’t-remember-the-lyrics version. 

Yuck. 

So, goodbye Shuffle.  I had to replace you with <gasp> Movin Ez for now (a complete preset overhaul is obviously in order).

Oh, and while I’m on the subject of Sirius…why in the world do they play Bon Jovi and Guns n Roses on Hits 1? Don’t they belong on my 80s channel?? (that would be preset 2, just for the record!).

You know, this is actually a good meme topic. WAIT! Don’t click away screaming and rolling your eyes, yet!  Music has always been a huge part of my life, and I think you can learn a lot about a person when you know what they listen to.  So, I am creating a meme.

And I tag ALL OF YOU!!!!!! Yes, you hate memes, fine.  But really, do I ever ask anything of you, ever? Please????  🙂
