Can you get an XM discount with your AARP membership? If not, XM should
look into this marketing possibility. Just look how many "oldies"
channels it has.

Last week, in an email Dylan read, he was asked why he plays so much old
music rather than new music. His answer, which should be plenty obvious, is
that "There is more old music than there is new music".

Reality? There has been very little decent music in the last 25 years. In
fact, it has been almost ALL noise. From Mariah Carey to Eminem, it is
absolute, unadulterated garbage.

The problem isn't limited to Rock music, either. Classical, other than a
few exceptions (e.g., YYM and Perleman), has been MIA. We don't have a
Rubenstein in classical music right now.

The exception? Blues. There continues to be a great deal of contemporary
blues that is excellent. Greats like Buddy Guy are still creating great
music and contemporaries like Keb' Mo' and Clapton are still delivering some
of the best live blues the planet has ever seen.

I would favor eliminating the 80s and 90s decades channels for one
additional blues channel and a channel programmed by Dylan -- Dylan is the
absolute best hour in radio anywhere to be found.

Frontmed Davey must have all of his retirement money in XM stock. Why
else would he be wrtiting this XM stuff. Get used to it shrimp boy,
you'll be working at McDonalds.

You're infatuated and stuck in a time warp.

Maybe that also explains why XM plays so much music that people have
never heard and don't care about.... "There is more music that you
haven't heard or don't care about than music you have heard or do care
about".

WHY IS IT That artists that haven't been popular in years go to XM and
do an "Artist Confidential" when they are about to release a new album?
I'm guessing that because Sirius won't play any new tracks from their
album, and no FM station is going to touch it, that XM can say "You do
this concert for us and we'll promote your album". It makes sense to
me, because they need exposure and XM needs "original content" that
they don't have to pay for.

I would actually agree with you on this. Most of the 80s and 90s fans
have went back to their Ipods so nobody is going to miss these channels.

Wall-to-wall Gilmour/Pink Floyd Music for a Week, Starting March 6


NEW YORK, March 3, 2006 /PRNewswire-FirstCall via COMTEX News Network/

Pink Floyd's earliest incarnation, Rado "Bob" Klose. "It's my best and

has been a positive experience on so many levels." In support of the
new album, Gilmour will tour Europe in March, the US in April and the
UK at the end of May.

Do you live in a bubble?

Most actors, actresses, and musicians of wide ranging status appear as
"news" when a new project is due out. Some make guest appearances on
game shows, talk shows, at charity events, etc... Radio stations do
the same with up and coming acts and "free" concerts.

In many cases, record companies and broadcast companies of all types
have common ties. One feeds the other free or low cost content, while
the other reaps free advertising disguised as news coverage.

They call it "publicity". <G>

Since you're "smart enough" to own an ISP, I figured you'd also know
that someone paid to make the record. Those same people seek
publicity, paid for or not, washed up artist or not. Free publicity
is the best kind. The albums coming out, you've got to sell it,
washed-up artists need to eat, too!

On the other hand, most music publicity folks know that what most
people listened to in high school is what influences their musical
tastes for a lifetime.

Then again, this dim bulb sold his ISP to a mega in 2000. <G>

Most of the remaining "ISP's" I know of are some guy with three
servers in his closet with an obese guy sweating over them.
