oh, and by the way, that putrid NY Dolls release gets played to death on LOC because whats-his-name (Johannsen???) is a dj with a sown on one of their other stations.

My friend, you wrote precisely what I’ve been thinking for the past 6 months. I have a Sirius portable (S50) for car/work/plane/gym use, but XM via Directv at home. I have long been a faithful LOC listener, but the whole point of loving indie music to me is that you don’t listen to the same song or artist repeatedly – as in, no more than once every couple of days. And while I have no objection to “vintage” indie, there’s WAY more out there than Fugazi, Mudhoney, & VU – I don’t need to hear “Femme Fatale” or “Heroin” 2x daily to make me feel I’m getting my money’s worth from my satellite subscription. From listening a bit on Directv at home, though, XMU seems to be just what I want in an indie station -variety, deep tracks, no chatter. I landed on your post after a quick google search to see whether I was high, or if like-minded souls might be feeling similarly on the sirius vs. xm issue. I’m an inch away from ditching my Sirius S50 (actually, since I bought the lifetime subscription 4 years ago, it’ll go to the mrs.’ car where I’m confident it’ll never stray from 80s & early alt/new wave, poor machine…) & getting an XM portable. This much I will miss – the live performances, blog radio,and the 300 or so songs I painstakingly dropped into the player’s flash memory from LOC for lawn mowing, airplanes & the gym. Lastly, while I do not care for the prattle of some LOC djs (the inane “Jake Fogelnest” tops the list), I will miss the indie music news delivered in small doses by others, like “Pappy,” “Christopher the Minister” & the bloggers (esp. GvB). So long, Sirius – while you probably saved me 3-4 grand in CD purchases or music downloads over the past 4 years I’m on to greener pastures…

we have sirius- and i have to agree their personalities are horrendous (Jake, Madison, etc.)- but we live in a small city (Wilmington, NC- origin of The Rosebuds) that has no good radio, so it’s nice to have diversity while driving. the internet is still the place to go– we listen to kexp.org, wfmu/NYC and wzbc/boston online alot, but for a change of pace- LOC and Sirius Underground Garage (nuggets type, 60’s thru 80’s classics, etc.) are okay too, you can only listen to your MP3 player so much- that weird ephemeral connection to someone else ’spinning’ the tunes is still compelling…..

Kevin--sure it was a single, but still...maybe I hold radio professionals to too high a standard, but I'd also expect someone to say that, for instance, "Day Tripper" was a single first, and then it was on Remasters or Ones or whatever. Especially with the rampant deification of JD on that station, they could at least do some basic research.

Transmission was a single by Joy Division. It was not on a full length album. Therefore, the LOC DJ was correct in saying that Transmission is on the Substance album. Compilation albums are the only place that you can get that song. Give LOC a break, it’s better music than most radio – and you can always change the channel when a song comes on again.

Good stuff in this post and in the comments.

I have had Sirius for a year now.

I completely agree that LOC is great the first few days, until you hear the same Bob Mould song every 40 minutes. There is absolutely no excuse for it. It seems like nothing more than pure laziness on the Program Director and the DJs part. I rarely listen to LOC. I have never discovered a single band by listening to that channel.

I also agree that the iPod is preferred over Sirius, except when Stern is on. His show is BETTER since he went to Sirius, and the fact that there is cursing now does not dilute the creativity.

SIRIUS should give Kevin a hip-hop blog radio show…that would be sweet.

I like SIRIUS, but have yet to pull the trigger for MJ and I’s cars. It’s only a matter of time. I don’t listen to the radio much anymore, but whenever I’m with someone who has SIRIUS I get all excited and can’t wait to buy it…then I forget.

thats so funny that you wrote about that! i was just at home for the weekend and my dad got sirius so i was listening to left of center and i think i will scream if i hear “louisiana” one more time!! i found myself switching channels a lot, and there is good stuff on there, suprisingly though, you have to find it for yourself.
