I have SiriusXM too. I only have it for some talk stations on it - not Howard Stern. Otherwise I'd can it. If you want to hear the same songs over & over it's good. If you like Baker St by Gerry Rafferty get it. If you like the Beatles or other popular bands get it. They play these bands on both different channels and dedicated channels. One time I caught the same Beatles song on three different channels around 15 minutes apart, total, that didn't include the dedicated channel. Same old, same old, Carole King, Neil Diamond, James Taylor, Elton John...

I have a stack of old vinyl here that's probably worth something...

Saturday Night Fever, the Bee Gees yeah that was the start.

I agree. Back then the singers could actually sing, the writers had thoughts and composers had notes. Nothing artificial.

Several years ago I threw a big stack in the trash because I couldn't even give them away and I wasn't ready to list each album separately on Ebay. Some may have been worth $10, others worthless. Nobody wanted to just take the lot. "Lots" (100 or so at a time) of records usually go for $5 on the auction site we have locally here (minimum bid) I suspect they end up at the flea market.

Worth something to a hernia surgeon if you try to move it...

NBC had a show, The Sing Off, a few years ago with a cappella groups. I think Pentatonix and Home Free were on at one time or another.

[Ed Pawlowski]

Yes some of the groups were amazing

I've kept XM in my car for a few years, mainly because I was able to bargain for pretty low subscription renewal rates. I'm probably not going to renew next time though.

I'm a Delta blues fan and I really don't like their blues channel playlist. A lot of the cuts are closer to jazz than blues.

The main daytime blues channel DJ is some woman named Shemika Copeland whose main claim to fame is her daddy was bluesman Johnny Copeland. A lot of her patter is about how many of his bluesmen buddies she's met and how nice they were to her. Yawn...

I prefer more melodic styles than the driving rhythm of most Delta:

Hurt might have been from Mississippi but he had more of a Piedmont style.

Not really delta blues but he has an interesting take on how some of the styles might have developed.

They have some record shops opening up north of me. Even if I got a buck I would probably make $100. Second thought fuhgeddaboudit

Same here, they just get the hook in....

Yeah, I don't need to know how 'great' the DJ is, just play the music.

Ok people, just keep posting those links, I'll expand my mind - if I had one.

If I could get enough to cover the gas and a case of beer I would usually do it, just to preserve something someone wants. I feel the same way about junk I sell on Ebay. I know I have bought junk on Ebay that had some meaning to me.
