Genrepalooza Presents: FG Radio - Tons of Lithium but very little Chill (1 Viewer)

2.08 - Chubb Sub - Medeski, Martin and Wood (Jam On)

I've never been big on jam bands and a global pandemic isn't the time to go to a festival and change my opinion.  But I've always liked these guys and they've toured on the jam band circuit.  No idea if the get played on the Sirius channel IRL but they will here.

Cheers brother.

Like it. Not a Jam Band guy either. Shoot Zeppelin is my favorite band of all time but I want no part of watching a 27 minute version of "Moby D1ck". I mean, a classic and all, but the book was the most boring "classic" ever that our AP English tried to punish us with if we didn't pick up on some underlying homosexuality theme (again nttawwt). I don't need a 26 mins jam about a 2.6 week long read of a book. #### off jam bands, right in the ear.

I haven't had Sirius in a few years but those guys were more likely to be played on the Jam On Channel than Jerry, the Band or Peter Frampton - not criticizing those picks because they fit the genre but I believe the Jam On station plays more 90s-2000s jam bands like Phish, String Cheese Incident and Widespread Panic than classic rock acts.

No you're 100 percent right. I stretched on my pick purposely. I have had Sirius since Stern went there (05?). My pick of Frampton has no place on the channel even if it does "jam on". I am listening and appreciating the selections from the guys and gals who dig the genre to help learn.

I had Sirius for 3-4 years but even though it was so cheap, I cancelled it because I'd rather listen to Spotify and control what I hear. I was very big into the Jam Band scene in the 90s but honestly didn't listen to Jam On much even when I had Sirius.

Sadly, due to being out of work because of  covid, I'm canceling mine. Everytime I try they keep giving me 6 months free :lmao: but I already cancelled cable TV and the only monthly sub I feel is worthwhile is Spotify. Spotify is amazing for music people. Take your TV shows, give me my music unlimited for 10 bucks a month. 

Eta: I have about 40 Playlist all with hundreds of songs.

I'm very sorry that Covid has affected your work situation. :(

I cancelled Sirius a long time ago because I'm not in my car much, which is when I would normally listen. That and I did find many channels did get repetitive for what I was paying.

 
I could watch hours of those Soul Train line dances.
It seems the 70s were full of musical shows.  Soul Train, Solid Gold, American Bandstand, The Midnight Special, Dance Fever, Rock Concert, whatever I am forgetting, and the tons of variety shows.

It was the peak of Pop monoculture.  For better or worse, there are a lot more choices today including the SoulCycle station.

 
The Gong Show 😆
That show was crazy. Chuck Barris was the perfect host for it.
I remember when a guy from my High School was on the Gong Show--he had graduated the year before and moved to LA to pursue a show biz career.  My teacher brought a TV into the classroom so we could watch Charlie perform.  His schtick was singing "Luck Be a Lady" while barefoot but he didn't even make it to the chorus before getting gonged by Jaye P. Morgan.

😃    It would be a fun gig to get paid to gong people.

Did he think what he was doing was actually good, or was he trying to get gonged (as some acts did)?

Talk about a right place, right time guy with Deney Terrio. Followed by another right place, right time guy in Adrian Zmed.

You're kind of thinking like me here. I don't have much for the Jam On station, but if I had to pick something ... I'd probably tap a live track from one of my classic rock faves. One where the band really stretched their legs and went a little "jammy". Zeppelin, of course, has plenty of those on vinyl.

And there are many others.

 
Super tough categories to choose between. Elvis, Chill and Soul Cycle. Good thing I have time. Hell even deep track classic rock is pretty good.

i had to look up the Soul Cycle channel. the subtitle on sirius site says music to energize your soul, which is confusing.

but then I went on to read the description and it's basically a channel to ride exercise bikes to, yeah? seems like it could be a fun category. are we required to post a positive affirmation cliche with our music choice if we choose that category?
