Question for the XM listeners. [Archive]

I always have my XM online player going while I surf RF.net.  My favourite channels are 44 Fred, 43 XMU, 54 Lucy.  I also flip to 52 The Verge to hear some new music every once in a while.  I love 42 XMLM but I listen to it more in the car or boat.  I just want to know what everybody else listens to on XM other than 202.  What are your favourite channels on the XM dial?

Other than R&F, The Rhyme (old school rap) is my favorite.  But I jump around a lot.

I find myself listening almost exclusively to 202 now. Before, when I had more time to listen and drove more, I would mix in ESPN 140, Fox Sports 142, BBC 131 and Fred, Ethel, Lucy, Fungus, whatever station has a song I like while driving around.

BBC World Service. Good for international news.

Just like when I watch TV, I flip around like a lunatic.  I always check the decades channels, (5 thru 9) and the country/folk/bluegrass channels (10 thru 17) first.  Then I'll hit the 20's, then the rock stations (40 - 54)I love listening to "Open Ice" on 204 where they talk hockey all day.  I'll hit up the comedy stations in the 150's when I need a chuckle or two.

Fungus (punk rock), Bluesville, Bluegrass Junction, X Country (Americana) and

I used to flip but recently I never leave 202.  When I do flip I go to the funk channel I think it's 70 or 76, the bluegrass channel which is 12 I think, and some of the rock ones.

I haven't turned mine off of 202 for over a year now.  Are there still other channels?

Anybody ever checkout "Kingdom of Swine" on Fungus 53?  It's on Sunday nights,9-12.  It is all industrial and if you are into that style of music you should check it out next Sun. night.  I try to listen or record every week.

I love Fred 44, they just played a Tones on Tail song that was trippy and they followed it up with "Transmission" by Joy Division.  Sweet.  Now some Thompson Twins, not my favs.

I flip around alot.  I stop mostly on 47, 48 and 54.  But I'd rather listen to XM Kids than Scotty and Alex on WYSP.  They suck.

i bought it for 202 but i listen to 152 for monsters/tuddle updates and phillips phile or art bell on occasion.this is a super-tangent thought here but...<a href="http://viewmorepics.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewPicture&friendID=151 456696"><img src="http://a642.ac-images.myspacecdn.com/images01/34/m_8fc8bf9dbadcff60207b18e3c9bf7289.jpg" border="0" width="170" height="276" /></a> this poster suggested that the midnight rider might be tuddle.  if that turns out to be the case on 2/23 when esd tears that mask off i think she deserves a rnf prize pack for radio psychic of the month (rpotm).

Yikes, that is a creepy smile.  Who is Tuddle?  I have heard the name before but I have no clue.I love Art Bell.  I used to listen to him all night, every night.  Does he still do a show?  I have listened to coast to coast on XM but it had a different host that I didn't like as much.

joeyballsack

02-07-2007, 01:34 PM

I think Art only does the show on Sundays now but I may be wrong on that. George Noory is the weekday host now though. I listen to Big Tracks, Lucy and once in a while I listen to that starbucks channel.

I listen to XM online mostly. Besides 202, I occasionally listen to:29 U Pop (although sometimes they play awful songs) 43 XMU  44 Fred47 Ethel65 The Rhyme101 The Joint302 New Indie First (AOL channel) I would listen to more talk/sports if those channels were available on xm online.

A couple of the AOL channels on the XM online player are pretty good.  Metalcore is a good channel.

Hey Piss, good call on that Kingdom of Swine show.  I didn't know about it, and I've always wondered where the industrial music is on XM.I lilsten to:42 XMLM65 TheRhyme?? Sonic Theatre and Radio Classics.  When I was twelve, we lived in a cabin an hour from society, in between "real" homes.  All we had was battery powered radio.  KCBS would play old Radio Dramas every single night.  This is where my neurosis of needing to listen to audio every waking and sleeping moment comes from.  I actually got XM mainly for these channels, then I discovered 202.The screen on my SkyfiII is shot and I can't read the channel numbers anymore, but one of the talk channels has a 3 hour show called "Gun Talk" on Sundays at 2-5 P.M. Pacific.  It's definitely a red-state show, but I'll throw it a listen now and again.

My favorites in my car go as follows: (and I listen to all of them a decent amount)202, 140 ESPN, 141 ESPNEWS, Top 20 on 20, 90's on 9, 66 Raw, Ethel, Top Tracks, Deep Tracks, 80's on 8, XM Cafe, and Home Plate.

Pretty much Ethel and Lucy.  I'll listen to to other rock channels, but these two are the ones I usually listen to.

My favorite drama back in the day was Mystery Theatre, but they don't play that on Radio Classics.  It was a horror/mystery show.I'd love to see an Industrial channel, too.  I've become pretty unimpressed with XM's music channels lately.  It seems like the formula is too just play singles.  I love a good Pantera song now and again, but it shouldn't be goddamn Cowboys From Hell every time.  Gimme a Shattered, Mouth For War, or a Slaughtered.  It'd be nice to just hear some non-playlisted shit.  Sometimes, it seems like XMLM will run the same playlist every day, with Lamb of God, Shadows Fall, etc.  XM has turned out to be about as Indie as Earl.

90's -- guilty pleasure, but its the music of my youthX-Country : great roots mixWillies Place: Recommended aboveDeep Tracks: Probably the best reason besides Ron and Fez to have satalite.  I thought I knew classic rock but they will play awesome stuff for hours on end you never heard of, but if you liked terrestial classic rock, you'll dig it. The Boneyard: Mostly for Eddie Trunk's Monday Night Show Lucy/Ethel: Awful names but great stationsSoul Street: Great 60's R and B, a nice makeout stationBluesville: Programmed AMAZINGLYThe Joint: Reggae and lots of different variety, ranging from dancehouse to poppier stuffMLB on XM: Can't miss during the season for constant moniotring of all games.
