Day 34: BoomBox

According to Sirius: Want an instant party groove? Bring in the Boom!! BoomBox ch. 34 features the world's best breakbeat music fused with slamming electro-rock, classic electronica, and cutting-edge mash-ups!! Non-stop and on-point, the party has just begun BoomBox ch. 34!!

My Experience: First off, does that desription above seem a little longer than usual to you? Well, it is. On the webpage for each Sirius station, there is a brief (usually one line, maybe two) description of the station. Further on, there is a more detailed, lengthy version. Decided to start switching things up and go into more detail, as we get to narrower genres of music.

This is a bit different from the previous Electronic/Dance music station, Area 33. Things are lot more melodic here, and you can actually groove along to a tune, rather than just a driving base beat. Plus, I love mash-ups...nothing like hearing songss by 50 Cent and The Cure mixed together into one cohesive song.

A Time and Place for Everything: While not ideal for the daily commute, I can see BoomBox best being listened to on the way to or from a night on the town in a big city, zipping through highway traffic. Very high energy, and very upbeat.

Sample Playlist:

• Ed Solo and Skool of Thought, Believe in the Funk
• Wolfmother, Woman (MSTRKRFT Mix)
• Filter, Hey Man Nice Shot
• Scratch-D and H-Bomb, The Red Pill (Born into Bondage Mix)
• Humanzi, Help Me in the Morning (Losers Mix)
  
• John B, American Girls (Electric Boobies Remix)

Verdict: Bookmarked it. Good stuff to just get into and lose yourself in the mix.

For Discussion: What exactly is the difference between a "mix" and a "remix?"
