Link to what site? xmradio.com? You can listen to their stuff online. I think they have a free trial of their online streaming.

The problem with FM radio isn’t the FM itself, but depending on where you live, you are likely to have a pretty poor choice of music. I can tune in about four classic rock stations. It’s the same old heavy rotation of music from the late 60′s, 70′s, 80′s that we’ve all grown weary off. Then there are the formula pop stations (top 20), the geriatric soft-rock stations. The only thing worth tuning into are the classical stations, and if you’re really lucky, a jazz station or a university station that isn’t currently running a basketball game or the death-metal show.

But regardless of the music that you’re interested in listening to, we really don’t need to be subjected to foul language or an asinine DJ’s ill-informed political opinions. Not when the channel is described as a music channel, and when we’re paying for it.

I guess it’s right to say that the real good music nowadays is actually free and on fm. I hope you can give me a link to this site so we can listen to it, too.

No, they don’t seem to get much of a break. All of the sympathy seems to go to the Palestinians who elected Hamas to power, and shout “Death To Israel!”

To be clear, Dave Marsh didn’t swear himself. He just played a few songs and the intro to his show had the F-word in it. Which makes his show fairly “family-unfriendly”.

And on a Sunday morning no less, at 10am. Jeesh.

Jeesh, 1 billion Muslims surround 5 million Jews who have a country smaller than New Jersey and still they don’t get a break.

Marsh sounds pretty awful. Especially if he’s swearing.
