Yeah, coppin' the reggae offa the satellite. Hell, it may be worth paying for, I wouldn't know.
They are a little more playlisted than I had originally thought, but still a good variety and commercial-free. Eighty stations to choose from, Howard Stern coming soon. Love the satellite, get high with it.
Here's excerpts from today's listening/smoking sesh:
Black Uhuru--"Leaving To Zion" (my all-time fave reggae band)
Demolition 23--"Dysfunctional" (garage band)
Johnny Kidd & the Pirates--"Shakin' All Over" (song made more famous when the Who covered it)
Little Richard--"Good Golly Miss Molly"
Blue Oyster Cult--"Buring For You"
The Chevelles--"Sleeper" (not to be confused with alternarockers 'Chevelle')
The Cars--"Let's Go" (by request from some guy in Baltimore named Alex)
Iggy Pop--"Loose" (live)
Fuzztones--"99th Floor"
Rolling Stones--"Silver Train"
The Church--"Reptile"
David Bowie--"Diamond Dogs"
Dandy Warhols--"We Used To Be Friends" (I'm a sucker for cheesy pop songs, what can I say?)
The Woggles--"Hounded" (good garage band)
Gene Vincent and the Blue Caps--"Pink Thunderbird"
Ray Charles--"Busted"
Madness--"Taller Than You Are"
Sisters of Mercy--"This Corrosion"
REM--"Catapult"
The Mooney Suzuki--"Primitive Condition" (good stuff--band named for singers from krautrock band Can. More rockin' than Can, less expiramental)
Howlin' Wolf--"Evil"
Grateful Dead--"Terrapin Station" (live)
Sting--"Message In A Bottle" (solo acoustic live)
The Eyeliners--"Do Anything You Wanna Do" (girl garage band, kick ass)
Scientists--"Frantic Romantic" (70s Aussie garage punk)
The High Dials--The Holy Ground (Brit-poppy garage)
Rage Against the Machine--"Kick Out the Jams" (MC5 cover)
Pretenders--"Stop Your Sobbing" (Kinks cover)
22-20s--"Devil In Me" (the KICK ASS SONG OF THE DAY!!!!!! Damn good garage rock, w/Farfisa organ)
The Contrast--"Unfair Game"
Rolling Stones--"Casino Boogie" (there's an all-Stones station, too)
Bikini Kill--"Rebel Girl"
Nazareth--"Hair of the Dog" (was just talkin' 'bout this one the other day)
By the way, Belle and Sebastian are square queers.
