The Trend

I heard Oakenfold - Starry Eyed Surprise earlier. Strange.

I dig the song, and it hasn't played on Sirius in ages. But on The Trend?!?

Was it part of someone's "My 3 Songs"?

I didn't seem like it. I'm pretty sure it was the usual playlist, as it was followed by Coldplay - Clocks.

I've just noticed they have been a little more liberal when people send in my 3 songs requests.

And they have been doing 1 set an hour all weekend, so there is a good chance it was that.

I still ain't heard Grandma Got Run Over By A Reindeer...

You will come around the end of Nov and Dec. LOL When SIRIUS does the Christmas Music thing. How many streams do they usually change over for this type seasonal music. Someone asked me that the other day that was thinking on getting SIRIUS for their business. I really didn't know the answer.

That's a darn good question.

Originally, Sirius Galaxy, Channel (yes, Channel) 100, was devoted to holiday music.

At least we don't got that stupid drunken deejay that the other service finds so darned amusing...

Maybe they'll do my Three Christmas Songs! LOL I know XM has 2 streams they use, one is older stuff and one is more contemporary. I hope SIRIUS does something like this. Though I guess one stream with a decent mix may not be too bad. Lord knows it will be here before we know it, this year is going by FAST... but then the older you get the faster they seem to go by.

Sirius Sessions (fomerly The Galaxy) will do Holiday music started the weekend after Thanksgiving. It will run until New Years.

Last year's mix was really well done. Holiday hits from today's trendy artists mixed with the classics.

Kewl Jeff, thanks for the info... now I can tell my friend that is interested in getting SIRIUS for his business, they usually go out and spend a ton on seasonal music every year. SIRIUS will actually save them money and a good mix sounds good to me

It's definitely worth getting Sirius in time for the holiday music. It was so good, I listened to it almost exclusively during December.

Sirius Satellite Radio also is delivering a special gift for its listeners this holiday season. The company is providing "Sirius Sounds Of The Season" on The Galaxy channel 100 throughout the holiday season. The feature will include celebratory songs of the season from every music genre including rock and roll, country, R&B, jazz, and pop.

What does this mean for the daily live programming on Stream 100? Will it go away? Will it be holiday themed?

The holiday music thing is something I have liked about FM radio. Two or three years ago the soft-rock station in DC started doing this. I normally didn't listen to their station much, but I did much more in December....glad to read I'll have that option with the Dog

Has anyone heard a set of "My Three Songs" from San Jose CA this weekend? I haven't caught too many of the set's but curious to see if they played mine.
