If you like discovering new and unusual bands, then you should check out the Radar Report on XM's indie channel, XMU (channel 43 on your XM dial). The Radar Report is an hour-long show that emerged from an email list launched in the '90s to promote promising unsigned artists.
Not everything featured will be to your taste, most likely, but there's enough diamonds in the rough to make it worthwhile. For example, last week's show turned me on to Julia Othmer (listen to "Hey, Hey"); Plumerai ("Linear"); Matt Turk ("Broadway"); and Most Powerful Monks ("Our Love"). Not a bad hit rate for a 60-minute show.

If that's too hard to understand... well, I'm sorry. There's only so much I can do. I'm not a therapist, and I'm not a miracle worker. I wish I could help you work through your delusional belief that I'm speaking for anyone else but myself. Honestly, I do. But in the end, that's a monkey you'll have to get off your back on your own. Sorry.

XMU is my first preset, although at times I get annoyed and just want them to play something I recognize...
I have to give props to Lucy (the "old" alternative station) on Halloween it was all music from the early 90s. I felt like I was in college again.
