According to Sirius: The latest alternative rock releases and the best alt-rock of the '90sDriving Circumstances: Spent quite a bit of time with Alt Nation, considering that I started listening to it this past Thursday (my birthday), and now it's Sunday.
My Experience: Well, I knew Alt Nation well, as one of the few stations I listened to on a regular basis. For some reason, though, I had thought it was Channel 22, not Channel 21. So, as I turned the dial on my birthday, I was pleasantly surprised to find a station I was very much looking forward to spending some time with. It did suffer, though, from the same affliction as stations like Sirius Hits 1, where the songs begin to seem to repeat themselves. I think over the course of the four days I had this on, I heard Lily Allen's song LDN about four times.
Sample Playlist:
- Plain White T's, Hey There Delilah
- Shiny Toy Guns, Le Disko
- Interpol, The Heinrich Maneuver
- The Fratellis, Chelsea Dagger
- Fall Out Boy, Thanks for the Memories
- The Postal Service, Such Great Heights
Verdict: Definitely added this back into my list of bookmarked favorites. It's here that I usually track down new music that I haven't heard before, and it keeps me current as to what the kids are listening to these days (and now that I'm another year older, that phrase isn't as cute and ironic as I mean it to be).
