Reflection and Projection

The second week of bootcamp is in the books. The only channel that I really didn't like this past week was top 20 on 20. I rate the week in this order: 1. XM Cafe, 2. Soul Street, 3. the 60's, 4. the 50's, 5. the 40's, 6. top 20 on 20.

Next Week:
Mon Cinemagic, movie sound tracks, XM 27
Tue Nashville, 90's & today's country
Wed U-Pop, Euro & global hits, XM 29
Thu Squizz, hard alternative, XM 48
Fri RAW, uncut hip-hop, XM 66
Sat XM Classics, traditional classical, XM 110

This week is a real uneven week for me. Cinemagic is usually a decent background channel. It's nice how it often mixes in dialogue from movies too. Country and hip-hop aren't my favorite types of music, so those days could be tough. I look forward to Squizz and XM Classics because they are presets of mine.
