Alternative(s to) Radio
R. Alex Whitlock
If I had more money, one of the things I would love to spend some cashola on would be satellite radio. I rarely listen to the radio anymore for a variety of reasons, mostly pertaining to what's on it. Or more accurately, what was on it two years ago when I stopped listening to it. A lot of people complain about the radio hit machine and how it all sounds the same and yada yada yada, but I find it interesting how few people are willing to put their money where their mouth is.

For my part, I still tour the Texas country music scene as well as some non-country acts that I run across (Blue October being the biggest) and I have a subscription to eMusic that I'll be terminating soon since they've changed their services into something I don't want anymore. I thought about subscribing to mp3.com's service. Yes, I know it's free, but some of their premium services were cool for my 14 day free trial period. Then they went under. I would still knock around IUMA, but their "radio" program cuts in an out somethin' awful.

So that leaves satellite radio. Of course, right now I don't even have a radio in my car, much less a high-falutin' sort. But someday I will have it. If they're still in business.

Comment spam is an ongoing problems that we're trying to address. Previously we required people to create accounts and log in. I am thankful to say that is no longer the case. We're giving Captcha another try and are playing around with a text-based Q&A variant of Captcha. So bear with us as we try to figure out how to best get a handle ont he problem. Please note that any comment on a post more than 30 days old will go into the moderation queue, where I will get to it when I can which could be once a week.
