Sirius
So I caved in and finally went with Sirius because of Howard Stern.
I was pleasantly suprised to find a ton of really good stuff besides Howard on there.
Pure Jazz 72 is a great channel. It’s exactly what you would want from a really good commercial free jazz station. It’s been playing in my office constantly for the last two days.
You also get 24 hour a day BBC news and NPR. No bullshit during midday. There’s actually 2 NPR stations, one that is constant news, and one that is their talk shows playing all day long.
It’s FUCKING AWESOME. Everyone should get Sirius. I’ve pretty much filled all my presets…and there are a lot of presets. On regular radio…I filled 3 of them…and one of the 3 was the dead air station I use to channel my IPOD into my radio. (I now also use it to channel the Sirius receiver into my radio.)
Anyhow…it’s awesome as all hell. That is all.

Um, is this a post in defense of Howard Stern, or am I reading it incorrectly? I mean, it is coming from someone who enjoyed Jersey Girl and all, but still Colin, Howard Stern?!? I need a beer.

Dude…Jersey Girl fucking rocked.
Much like Jersey Girl, Howard Stern also rocks. Sure, he’s hit or miss at times, but overall, quite entertaining.
I commuted for an hour or more to work every morning for 3 years…and it would have sucked so, so bad if not for Howard.
But even disregarding the fact that Sirius is the only place to hear Howard anymore, it’s still awesome. I would be very happy with Sirius without Howard, although very unhappy if there simply was no longer Howard to be hear anywhere.
America needs Howard Stern.
