God Put a Smile Upon Your Face

Asian exclusive 8 track EP.
Customer Review: A Great Investment!!!
Don't let the price of this cd turn you away because you'll regret it. I'm a huge fan of Coldplay's earlier music, and this cd is mostly like music off of Parachutes. I had heard that this version of "Yellow" was excellent and I completely agree. "Crest of Waves", "Murder", and "Animals" isn't their best music, but definitely worth having. The videos of "Clocks" and "In My Place" are the music videos that you would normally see on tv. Unfortunately it's an 'enhanced cd' so you have to watch the videos on your computer. The video quality is on the poor side when you enlarge it also.
Customer Review: Almost Perfect
Alright...this is a really great CD. The a-list track, "God Put a Smile Upon Your Face," is really a gem and should be on every CD in the world. The first b-list track, "Crest of Waves," is pretty good, it has a kind of beachy feel to it. The second b-list track, "Animals," is by far my favorite Coldplay song EVER...you MUST HAVE IT. The third b-list track, "Murder," is very good, but a bit spooky. The live tracks on the disk, however, are nothing to write home about. Although, the enhanced portion of the CD is EXCELLENT, with the videos for "Clocks" and "In My Place." Then enhanced portion alone is worth the cost of the CD, and is a must have for any true Coldplay fan. Thanks!

Satellite Radio is the future of broadcasting

Satellite Radio, in short, can be described as commercial-free music, news, sports and talk shows. Many of the biggest players and events are now available from Sirius radio and XM radio like Howard Stern, Fred Schneider (the B52s), NFL, English Soccer, NBA, NASCAR, NHL, Major League Baseball, INDY, and the PGA.

Satellite radio began in 1992, when the S spectrum was allocated by the FCC to four companies. The two main ones, Sirius and XM paid a pretty penny (in fact almost $80 million dollars worth) to buy a license. Satellite-based radio began on May 15th, 2001 when XM Radio completed their satellite system. Sirius followed shortly when they launched in July, 2001. Since then, expanded products and competition has changed the radio landscape.

While automobile manufacturers started installing satellite radio in 2001 and 2002, most new vehicles come equipped with one now. XM has two satellites (called Rock and Roll) in parallel orbits to cover the mainland US market, while Sirius has three. Both have recently been awarded licenses for the Canadian market.

So what are the differences between the two providers?

XM has a flat $9.99 a month fee with no contracts to sign. They have the latest portable equipment. XM offers some of the best varieties of programming available today. They offer 68 commercial-free music channels; 32 channels of News, Sports, Talk & Entertainment; and 21 channels of instant Traffic & Weather in major metro areas.
