Day 13: Elvis Radio

According to Sirius: From the early years to his comeback, it's all music from Elvis Presley.

Driving Circumstances: Drive to work was normal (as usual), but after work, went to a going-away party for a co-worker, and got to listen to the ol' satellite radio a little later than usual.

My Experience: First off, this was a lot less painful than I thought it was going to be. The King has enough variety in his music, that you're not stuck listening to the same thing over and over. Secondly, this station is VERY dedicated to Elvis. They broadcast live from Graceland. They have interviews with people from Elvis's past. They have Elvis trivia. They have themed shows that deal with music from Elvis's movies. It's amazing that there's such a volume of work here that 1) an entire station can be devoted to just his music and 2) I didn't hear any repeated songs at all (unlike Totally '70s, where I had to listen to Le Freak twice in one day). Sure, there was the famous stuff...but then also stuff I'd never heard of before.

Sample Playlist:

• Fools Fall in Love - 1966
  
• Any Day Now - 1969
  
• Hound Dog - 1956
  
• Burning Love - 1972
  
• Are You Lonesome Tonight - 1960
  
• Return to Sender - 1962
  
• Suspicious Minds - 1969

Verdict: This was a fun station to listen to, but I can't see me listening to it for more than a song or two, when (for some unknown reason) I might need an Elvis fix. Not to be confused with an Elvish fix...which I guess I'd turn to either the North Pole or Middle Earth for...

Up for Discussion: Is Elvis dead?
