If what I listened to on Monday is any indication then I am very disappointed in how Sirius is doing the rotation of music. Here's an example of what I noticed they played during the course of about an hour and a half or so.... I might of missed a song or two but this is pretty close to what I noticed....

- The Trial from The Wall
- High Hopes from Division Bell
- Waiting For The Worms from The Wall
- Sheep from Animals
- Is There Anybody Out There/Nobody Home from The Wall
- Keep Talking from Division Bell
- Mihalis from David's self titled
- Another Brick Part 3/Goodbye Cruel World from The Wall
- Money from TSDOTM
- Goodbye Blue Sky from The Wall
- Grandchester Meadows from Ummaggama (spelling?)
- Happiest Days/Another Brick 2 from The Wall

... notice a pattern that doesn't make sense? Yeah.. its The Wall being played in a BACKWARDS order that makes NO sense. Also the DJ at one point said that "This Heaven" featured David Crosby and Grahmn Nash when its "On An Island" that features them. Dumbass.

I am a Sirius subscriber and I've been listening to the Floyd broadcast one my commute home.

It's not bad but I would throw things out there that are a bit more obscure like "Scream Thy Last Scream" or "Massed Gadgets Of Hercules"..etc.

Maybe throw out some interviews or maybe play some audio commentary from other musicians and their thoughts on Pink Floyd and their influence on music....yadda...yadda...

Too bad they won't play any bootleg material...lol. 8)

I wish I was running the broadcast.

When I listened to it on the way home here is what I caught.

- See Emily Play
- Paintbox
- Another Brick Part 2
- Heaven
- Coming Back To Lufe
- Dogs
- Money

I was home by then.

Like I said it's ok...but as a serious Floyd fanatic I would have thrown out all kinds of different Floyd related things.

I think this is my first post on this site :) I've been lurking for quite some time.

Anyway, it should also be noted that you can listen over the internet:
Sirius.com --> Click Listen in the upper right hand corner --> Music --> Rock --> The Vault (name of the station it is on).

Thanks,
Bill

David's interview about the album (and I believe a complete play of the album) is going up in the alt.binaries.sounds.lossless newsgroup as I write this...
