I regularly listen to Sirius XM and have, at times, listened to
Paradise Radio and Spotify. I like such
subscription services. You can choose a
station or playlist featuring a specific genre you like and stream that music
to your device of choice.
At the same time, my taste in music is wide. I enjoy most everything: classical,
alternative rock, southern gothic, new wave, classic rock, hard rock, punk, flamenco
guitar, folk music, and on and on.
Over the years, I have downloaded something near 3000 songs from
iTunes.
Old school, I know.
I enjoy a wide variety at all times. I play the songs I downloaded to my iPod in
shuffle mode so music from every genre pops up randomly. Having Frank Sinatra follow, say, Stairway to
Heaven is satisfying to me.
Yesterday, however, my iPod went a bridge too far. The song “A Beautiful
Day” by Freedom Fry was immediately followed Black Sabbath’s “War Pigs.” That was a bit too jarring—something on the
same level as your grandmother using the F-word on you.
