Location: 6 String Ranch | Cliff, Went with Ciruis cause that is what the MB place offered. I've been told they were great and didn't check into it much more than that. ONe thing FOR SURE, regular radio really sucks a mile of di$#.
Maybe XM would have been better.
I get fed up with the asswi#4 telling me what I'm listening to, I mean I should know since I paid for it right? I F$#$%^@ KNOW IT"S SIRIUS. They must all be marketing pahaques. |

| Genesis
The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway? I know! That's an odd one even for me!
Got a new one coming; band called Spock's beard?
I have heard they have a YES, Genesis, Rush kind of sound and I wanted to here something new.
Acoustically I have an old Chet Atkins CD I am intrigued with! Man! Some of these old dudes know how to work a guitar!

Saw Bueno Vista Social Club on your list
I have hours of tape of those Cuban suvivors and great musicians.
For any of you who think communism is the future of the world, you might like to see the videos that RY Cooder made of the Buena Vista Social Club, great musicians living in abject poverty because they couldn't contribute to the modern day messiah, Fidel Castro, who lives in luxury while great musicians suffer in abject poverty, the revolutionaries only want power and luxury, the musicians were cursed as not willing to break their back chopping cane for the sublime leaders wealth for music in Cuba is a anti social abberation that should have been beheaded along with all the other liberals who were herded into the stadiums and shot in a modern day version of the Christians and the Lions.
Every liberal ass who loved Castro was lined up and shot after his success, and every nazi supporter was promoted to a position of power to keep the liberal shits down. They took them all to a stadium and shot them so there would not be a resistance that could spell or play.
If you love communism, raise your hand, your communist friends will dispose of you quite efficiently, they love shitheads with no values other than power. |

| Jees Bailey! I thought I knew how to Rant! Wonder how long it will take for that country to fall apart after Fidel finally dies?
Speaking of RY Cooder do any of you guy's happen to have any of his stuff? Could anyone give me the name of a good CD by him?

In addition to that I'm currently listening to:
Brian Wilson "Smile"
Heart "Alive In Seattle"
Live "Mental Jewelry"
Bob Dylan "Time Out Of Mind" |

Location: NJ | XM/Sirius:
I'm not overly familiar with either (other than both are MAJOR sponsors of the NY AutoShow . . ).
A co-worker's wife used to work for Sirius. He told me (at the time, - a couple years ago) that if I was considering sat/rad, to go w/XM, as he didn't think Sirius would be around for long. Evidently, they'd spent a boatload o' money on marketing and didn't have the revenue to "back up" what they were offering. . . . As I said that was a couple years ago, and they seem to being doing well now. Picking up Howard Stern for next year (and having their stock go up 33% overnight) doesn't hurt.
When I bought the Cruiser, it came with "satellite-ready" radio (I assume it probably needs some chips installed to activate). I'd been pondering it, but really haven't had any first (or second)-hand experience with either service.
Being a graphic designer, a dog-lover, and a star-gazer, I've found Sirius' logo to be very imaginative (for those that may not know, Sirius is the "Dog Star"). Maybe not the most "comprehensive" way of selecting a service, but I often find myself selecting wines by the impressions I get from their label design - with a relatively (and surprisingly) high rate of success . . . ;-)
Bill, I'd like to hear your opinions of it after you'd had it for a while . . . |

Location: Houston, Texas | I will never forget going to a Genesis concert back in probably 1971 at the old Music Hall in Houston. About 10 minutes before the show began, an elderly couple walked in, dressed in full tuxedo and evening gown. They looked around at the mostly high school crowd, already passing joints around, and undeterred, proceeded to take their seats. I think they must have thought they were going to some religious production or play. The amazing thing is that the entire crowd were very polite to them. I don't think anyone offered them a joint, but to the old couples credit they waited patiently for the show began and sat through two songs before quietly exiting.
I probably still have a copy of "Foxtrot" on LP somewhere around here. |

Location: Houston, Texas | Back before anyone outside of Austin or Houston or Kerrville ever heard of Nanci Griffith, I used to go see her perform at a little hole in the wall called Anderson Fair in Houston. This is back when she performed exclusively solo and even before she married Eric Taylor who is also a singer/songwriter. Her guitar playing ability really shined back then and her voice and songs could bring a tear to your eye. Longneck bottles and Nanci Griffith were a big reason my college scores weren't higher. When she finally started recording and became "successful", it just wasn't the same anymore. She definitely shined brightest in her solo performances. |

I've always liked Ry's album "Bop Till You Drop". If I remember correctly, it was the first album recorded and mastered 100% digital. Another one I always liked was "Jamming with Edward", which was Ry Cooder with Mick Jagger, Bill Wyman, Charlie Watts and Nicky Hopkins. |

If you like Cab's, you should find yourself a bottle of Smoking Loon (1999). The label is funny, the wine is incredible. And it's only ~$9/bottle. The 2000 Smoking Loon is just as good, but they changed the label. I have also had their Syrah, but didn't think it was as good.
For the record, we have a running contest with some close friends to see who can find the best bottle of wine for the least cost (it all started wtih an argument about quality vs. cost). So far, everyone agrees the Loon is winning. Unfortunately, it wasn't my find. =( |

Location: Madison, Wisconsin | Cruster, I'm with you on cheap wine but what my wife and I have found is that if you find a good bottle of cheap wine, it might be the only one out there. The next bottle, same year, same lable, might taste like Mad Dog 20 20. |

I saw John Fogerty on Austin City Limits last week and I still can’t stop tapping my foot. Say what you want about this guy's beady little eyes and dye job, but you got to love his music. If these songs were released as new today they would be hits.
I especially have a great deal of respect for a musician that writes most of his own material, plays his own lead guitar solos (even in his old age), and still sings and performs with the enthusiasm of a 16 year old. I hope to be doing as well at his age. |

Location: NJ | Lately, Jeanette and I have been partial to Yellow Tail (Aussie) as our "house table wine", though I absolutely LOVE Yangarra Park Shiraz (tho it doesn't sell well, and I have to order it by the case). For some reason, I seemed to have developed a penchant for Australian wines . . .
". . A glass of Shiraz on a Friday evening,
Looking out from the observatory,
The Sun is melting in a wine-dark ocean,
It brings out the "Australian" in me, oh yeah,
It brings out the Australian in me . . ."
(from "Shiraz Shuffle" by Al Stewart from his absolutely BRILLIANT album "From The Cellars" which is an album of songs TOTALLY dedicated to all things "of the grape" and contains some astounding guitar-work by Laurence Juber (and others). It's a UK import, and hard to come by, but if you're into wine & music, it's a "must have" and well worth the expense of ordering).
Recently, I just started listening to OUR OWN (CountryArtist) Sergio Lara's "Con La Lluvia" . .
GOOD STUFF!! I just used it in the car this morning as "digital blood-pressure medication" to get me through ". . counting the cars on the NewJerseyTurnpike . . ." in the HOUR AND A HALF dive (which normally takes 20 mins.) . . to get me to work this morning (yes, it's Saturday) . . .
Serge:
Saludos, mi Amigo!!!
You are TRULY a "Master"
(and I am but a mere "hack"!!!)
Find this CD and buy it!!!
