According to Sirius: The best in college, indie, alternative and underground rockDriving Circumstances: Spent a bit longer in the car today, as I had to detour about an hour for a trip to the eye doctor, again.
My Experience: I believe when I turned the channel to see what I would be listening to today, my response was a vocal, "Oh, nice!" I had forgot that Left of Center existed on the Sirius dial, and it's always been a favorite. Much like Lithium reminded me of my days in the dorms of Michigan State, Left of Center runs a parallel path to that, reminding me of the times I'd listen to the college radio station (The Impact) while driving around campus. I'd discovered all sort of music I hadn't heard before thanks to The Impact, and you'd eventually hear some of it on the more mainstream stations, so I always felt a little ahead of the curve because of it.
Sample Playlist:
- Ted Leo and the Pharmacists, The Sons of Cain
- Cloud Cult, Take Your Medicine
- Lou Barlow, Holding Back the Year
- Entrance, Cocaine Blues
- Travis, Closer
- Sonic Youth, Candle
Verdict: In honor (once again) of my college days, I bookmarked this.

Mad props to college radio stations everywhere for just keeping it f'n cool. I recall writing down a second list of films, professor....
Don't you worry...I have our Final Four determined.
