Ida Maria: Oh My God (& Trip)
So! I had a nice trip down to rural Georgia for an iPhone App development class last week. Turns out Objective C is really hard! And the PHP 'programming' I've been doing all this time is kinda lightweight in comparison. Ha! Whatever.
Anyway, I decided to drive down there and of course music was a major concern on the 15ish hour drive. I did bring some CDs, but after getting bored with listening to Fantasies over and over and over I was happy to check out satellite radio for the first time, and in particular, Sirius XMU. It's really nice to listen to the radio when there is actually good music and cursing and no commercials. (I'm not recommending paying $8/month, which is what they're asking for online access. They should offer a lower price just to get one channel!)
I prepared this handy list of observations about XMU:
- Most underplayed song: 'Fuck You' by Lily Allen
- Most overplayed song: 'Train Song' by PJ Harvey and Ben Gibbard
- Most overplayed artist: Cursive
- Least explicable song (played frequently): 'Reasons to Quit' by Phosphorescence
- Least explicable artist (played frequently): Glasvegas
- Best DJ: Aquarium Drunkard (Guest DJ)
- Best XMU DJ: Jenny Eliscu
- Most annoying DJ: Jake Fogelnest
Here's a song I liked that I discovered through XMU.
