This is Sirius

When we bought our new car it came with a year free of Sirius Satellite Radio.  At first we didn't really listen much to it because there are like 999 channels and 975 of them are either sports or finance talk shows.  I just resigned to the fact that it would just be a button on my radio. 

Then I went on a road trip and realized I needed to find something to listen to while Zoe slept.  I came across an all 90's all the time channel.  It instantly transported me back to my youth.  Most of my care-about-music youth was spent in the 90's.  I can remember hearing Bel Biv Devoe for the first time and thinking they were the coolest band EVER!

Then came Janet Jackson, Paula Abdul, Beastie Boys, Aerosmith, Pearl Jam, Depeche Mode, Nirvana, Will Smith and many others.  I can sing almost every song they play on the 90's channel.  I LOVE it.

This morning I heard some Bel Biv Devoe, Pearl Jam, Depeche Mode, Duran Duran and Will Smith.  The only problem is that you also hear songs you'd rather not.  Here's where I may lose some of my friends with this admission.  I don't really like Dave Matthews Band.  Which, like Nirvana, are thee band of the 90s. 

I think it's cool they use every instrument ever created.  It's not often you can get someone to play a lyre during an acoustic set.  They are very talented.  My problem isn't the instruments.  It's Dave's voice.  It sounds like what a violin's voice would be if they could talk. 

We all know a DMB song because, like The Beatles in England, DMB is pumped into our subconcious.  You end up singing along to the nonsensical lyrics.  Lights down you up and die.  Really?  I don't get it.  I'll bet no one besides Dave himself gets it.  Yet you sing it because it's catchy with the horns and lyres in the background.

Nothing against all of you DMB fans.  I'm just not one of you.  If I'm around you and a DMB song comes on, please be fully prepared for me to sing along in my imitation Dave voice as I make up words.  It gets me through the 15 minutes of each song.
