Trying out Sirius satellite radio
Part of the reason I canceled Rhapsody was so that I could justify (possibly) subscribing to Sirius satellite radio when Howard Stern's show premieres on January 9th.
After checking out the Sirius site, I think satellite radio may be much cooler than I originally thought. In addition to the programming (they even have a hair metal channel!), subscribers can access programming via the web. So if you don't have a home Sirius system, you can still listen. That is very cool.
Plus, they are offering a $50 rebate for radios, so I can get a system for my car for under $50.
I signed up for a free 3-day trial and I am enjoying Hair Nation as I type. Holy crap! They're playing "Too Fast for Love". Gotta go.
