Fm Channel May 1 On Sirius

[dontlookdown]

I’ve been listening to the Sirius channel for the past few days and for the most part, like what I’m hearing. I haven’t been a loyal follower of commercial radio in decades, so I’m pretty critical. My go to has been kcrw in Santa Monica since the mid 90’s.

But with a catalog so deep, I can’t for the life of me figure out why I keep hearing tracks from “Time”. It’s easily the biggest dog that’s ever been released by the band. I’ve never known of a bigger collection of lazy uninspired songs by one band, capable of so much more.

I know I haven’t given it enough listens but I’m definitely hearing way too much attention paid to Behind The Mask and Time. Clearly the playlists have been “curated” by Mick.

Those two albums are the only ones that make me cringe several times throughout.
On the other hand, I’m hearing lots of interesting b sides and live tracks.
I hope they can get someone in to shape the playlists with more diversity.
It’s an interesting project and I think people will stick with it if they can change up the programming.
