šŸ“» What I'm listening to

I have no interest in more, better, or different banjos. I only pulled this up to distract my daughter from demanding to listen to the Hamilton soundtrack again. Nothing against Hamilton, I just needed a break. Even if it is adorable that she knows the words and sings along.

I dig it. Folk goes harder than her barefoot look in the video.

Choo Choo!

At least history has saved us from the endless loops of Frozen songs.

Here. Now you are happy, my daughter is happy, everyone is happy.

Sirius XM, My promo was expiring, found a new promo

https://care.siriusxm.com/subscribe/checkout/flepz?programcode=MCP299FOR36SELECT

$2.99/mo locked for 36 months, Includes all music and entertainment. The AI robot on the phone went down to 4.99, but couldn’t match it, transfered to a human, they matched it and locked it in. 19 minute phone call in total, 3 minutes of the AI trying to find my account, 6 minutes AI trying to get me a better price. Saved $837.36 for the 3 years (2 vehicles at 14.99/mo w/tax&fees down to ~3.36/mo with tax&fees)

Well worth my time

Ours doesn’t roll over until July 2026. Do you think we can get this now?
Definitely would be worth it.

Mine did not roll till Jan 1st, and they did it today, even credited back the remainder of the month

Just called … couldn’t get that promo because ā€œit is for vehicles 2017 and beforeā€ …
Went round and round with agent because it doesn’t state that on that webpage anywhere.
In the end, she lowered me down a little so it’s $6.39 total per month now and lasts until Dec 2026 (when we have to do the haggle thing all over again).

For those with a older car, we try because it has nothing to do with where you are in your current term.

ok, I can’t argue this one… 2011 and 2016 here, 3rd vehicle is 2020, but I just use the app in that.

Agreed.

FYI I found that promo just by googling ā€œsiriusxm pricingā€
It was the 5th result

It’s all over Google …

Tomorrow, going to call back to cancel and then get to a supervisor and complain because the car age isn’t mentioned anywhere at all …

I’m a sucker for every offering of this - and not just for the always-warming sight of a yuletide tree-lighting - and am enjoying the 93rd Edition* currently:

Christmas in Rockefeller Center - NBC.com


Let Heaven and Nature Sing.

Contrary to what seems to be popular belief, in some necks of woods, I was not huddled around great-grandpa’s RCA Radiola Model III listening to the first…

Black and White Pictures don’t lie …

... and forgot to add ...

And neither do stick drawings …

Charcoal lies even less

I’m papy, and I love SNL + The Strokes + Christmas

This time of year I sort of unwillingly play Whamageddon (I’ve been in Whamhalla since the second or third already). My preferred Christmas songs are approximately TSO & Lindsay Sterling & similar vibes, with some ridiculously irreverent carols from my childhood thrown in.

I didn’t even know I was playing but am still in the game! :christmas_tree::flexed_biceps:

Whamageddon is fun!

Im not out!

I somehow managed to hear it AGAIN yesterday. Silly workplace warehouse speakers.

From what I understand, only the original version of that awful song counts. So I made it!

It was slightly after midnight when I heard my first cover of it; that was in Hawaiian, so pretty sure it is safe (and it’s much better in a language you don’t know).

But highlight of Xmas-eve music was discovering this one:

(I suspect Dogtamer will especially enjoy!)
