I followed it up with <i>Empire</i> -- the one, of course, with the aforementioned hits -- not long ago. O:M was in a class all its own, but even with its more mainstream sound <i>Empire</i> is great too -- just in different ways.the pistolerohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07921719381072311001noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15907727.post-18598437010740348752009-07-23T08:45:08.952-04:002009-07-23T08:45:08.952-04:00"So what type of music is on WTAM FM?"

I've heard all sorts of great music I hadn't heard in YEARS before I got it, and I've been introduced to a lot more. If it had not been for satellite, for example, I might well have never found out that Deep Purple had other songs besides "Smoke on the Water." And that Queensryche recorded a lot more than just "Silent Lucidity" and "Jet City Woman." (They recorded a LOT more good stuff besides that, actually.) So it took me 20 years to discover it. Better late than never! But yeah, Sirius is good stuff. I tell people all the time that it's the best $12.95 a month I've ever spent. I do like my iPod too, though.the pistolerohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07921719381072311001noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15907727.post-30638036880707151282009-07-22T19:16:58.328-04:002009-07-22T19:16:58.328-04:00The best part of ipods, outside of driving music i...The best part of ipods, outside of driving music is podcasts.<br /><br />There are some great gun podcasters out there. <br /><br />Check out Tom Gresham's Gun Talk, The Urban Shooter podcast, The handgun podcast, etc.<br /><br />--------------------<br />Guns only have two enemies - rust and politicians.Davidnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15907727.post-88351362860376991612009-07-22T18:51:28.934-04:002009-07-22T18:51:28.934-04:00If you're so inclined, there is some pretty go...If you're so inclined, there is some pretty good content on Sirius, too.<br /><br />JimAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15907727.post-43800725131087434262009-07-22T18:20:57.091-04:002009-07-22T18:20:57.091-04:00WTAM 1100 is the station I catch up on all of my t...WTAM 1100 is the station I catch up on all of my talk radio, out of cleveland....
