The joys of XM radio

4 consecutive songs (not on the same station, I must admit, but lucky surfing): Avril's "Happy Ending", The Cranberries "Dreams", Rob Base's "It Takes Two" and finished off with Sunset Rubdown's "The Taming of the Hands That Came Back to Life." It doesn't get much better than that.

Also heard: Paul Weller, Van Morrison, Georgie James, Richard Marx, Outkast, The ShopBoyz and Michael Bolton.

Let me tell you, it feels pretty good to be rolling in a huge Suburban listening to rap. Especially when you're 5 foot 3 and a half inches, white and living in Nebraska.
