• XM radio. Yes, like most good stuff, you have to pay for it. The benefit is, there aren't any commercials on most of the channels, and shows like Bob Dylan's Theme Time Radio Hour, Tom Petty's Buried Treasure, and Marty Stuart's American Odyssey are not only entertaining, they have introduced me to music I never would have thought of listening to. Granted, some of it is old, not new, but a lot of new music ain't any good anyway. And while my friends may think they're music experts, Tom, Bob, and Marty actually have the qualifications and diverse musical taste to send me in new, yummy directions. For example, I heard Atmosphere's "Sunshine" for the first time on American Odyssey; a great hip-hop band I never would have known about, and a great song, from a show that mostly concentrates on country. I highly suggest XM station #2. I rarely listen to a show without hearing something I want to buy. In reply to: "Top 5 music discovery tips for the unhip, unmotivated"
