AudioVideoRevolution.com Email Update Why Radio is Afraid of Sirius and XM: And It's Terrestrial Repeaters, Not Their National Programming, Making Them Paranoid Satellite radio is quickly becoming the hot feature in new cars and many audio/video components. With about 1,000,000 subscribers for Sirius and over 2,000,000 for XM, there is no question that consumers are starting to vote with their wallets, proving they will pay a nominal fee for musical entertainment that is much better than what traditional radio companies are broadcasting on your local FM and AM stations.

There is hope that bands who can really play their instruments will once again make popular rock music. There is hope that bands who have the musicianship for drum fills and innovative guitar solos can once again sell records. There is hope. Velvet Revolver is the newest rock super-group made of spare parts from Stone Temple Pilots, The Cult and Guns and Roses. While some critics say that putting Scott Weiland, Slash, Matt Sorun and Duff McKagan all together in a band is nothing special or nothing new � I might respond with: a) listen to the album and b) ever hear of Cream, Toto or Audioslave? The brand of music you are getting into with Contraband is nothing short of down and dirty, riff-based hard rock with sleazy chops and catchy hooks. Weiland�s voice is very familiar on some tracks and strangely different on others. The single �Slither� I first heard on Sirius more than two months before Contraband hit store shelves. For the first time in years, I heard a new song that sounded so hot that I wanted to buy the album before I returned to the office from lunch.

Even though the giant wide screen was the best place to see the handsome photography, somehow viewing the film at home enhances the claustrophobic feel of the movie, and enables the viewer to get closer to the characters. This now seems like the best movie of 2003, a high water mark in Peter Weir�s notable career. It makes excellent use of surround sound. It did in theaters, too, but again, the more confined area of a living room seems to better match the confined area below decks of the HMS Surprise. You�re enveloped in the creaks of the wood, the groans of the ropes and the sounds of the men, awake and asleep. The ocean, just outside those oaken planks, is always nearby, and always makes itself known. In the well-chosen handful of deleted scenes, the men aboard the Surprise are terrified by mysterious wails and moans coming from the sea. Today we recognize them as the songs of whales, but in 1805, few knew whales made noises like that, and the echoing sounds are mysterious and terrifying.
