Chris Loves SIRIUS XM
January 30th, 2009
Wow I don’t even know where to start with my addiction to Sirius XM. It all started about 2.5 year ago, I was out enjoying a sunny afternoon on the Great Lakes when I noticed the music on the boat had no commercials. After asking my cousin what station he had on he told me about satellite radio, he said the music was great but also there is the guy called BUBBA the Love Sponge who is hilarious. I said he couldn’t even explain how funny he is you just have to listen to it. So the following weekend I went out and bought a Stiletto 100.
After a few days, it was a huge WOW from switching from terrestrial radio. The sound is great and there are no commercials. The $12.95 is the best money I have ever spent. The huge variety of music is a great thing but it doesn’t stop there. The sports are amazing. Living in Detroit area and loving football doesn’t go together to well. The nice thing is when the Lions aren’t in the playoffs and you are watching the game on Sunday and all of a sudden you have to run to errands, it is great to be able to turn any NFL game on in the car.
The best thing about Sirius XM is two words, BUBBA ARMY. The Bubba the Love Sponge show has the be the best talk show of all time. Listen to the guy for a week and you will be addicted for life. It is like a family and you want to hear his show everyday.
I listen to Sirius XM on average of 10 hours a day and couldn’t live without it. I have it on for my drive to work, all day at the office and the drive home. The varity of programming is the great for the work day. We all have those days at work where we need a bit of a pick up, for that I will throw on The Pulse or Alt Nation. Or we have the days where that huge project is due and you have to get it done and you just need some chill music to listen to, for that I will throw on The Coffee House or Watercolors. For someone who loves music Sirius XM is the way to go.
As in other things for life we all take somethings for granted. I did that with Sirius XM. You don’t realize how much you miss it until its gone. Last summer I dropped my Stiletto 100 in the lake and totally fried it. I immediately ordered a Sportster 5 from TSS which came in three days but for those three days I felt like a lost dog. I felt so disconnected from Howard and Bubba. I felt hatred every time I herd a five minute commercials on terrestrial radio. Not to mention how the sound quality doesn’t even come close to comparing to Sirius XM. After that experience, I realized even more how I could not go without Sirius XM.
