STUDIO: I added SiriusXM Radio!

 Best Buy has a special “Mi Best Buy, Mi Cultura” initiative this month and invited me to try out a product to review and feature on my blog. I said yes because I knew exactly what I wanted. Back story: I'm a music junkie. I started booking gigs for bands since high school and even wrote about music (reviews and features) when I was an entertainment reporter at The Arizona Republic. I soak up all I can. I feel that if you open your mind to new music it will keep your spirit young. It's so easy to stay stuck in the comfort zone of music we grew up on. Sure I tune into my 80s pop, but I'm also hungry to learn about new bands. Especially when it comes to rock en español and reggae en español, my faves!



Because of all this, I've always wanted to try out SiriusXM radio, so I went for the satellite radio set-up for my car and for my art studio! I just got it all connected this week and will share my findings next month. I've already been listening and can I just say - it's PERFECT for the studio. I always need some kind of white noise going on. This system has hundreds of channels. My obvious standards are Martha Stewart and Oprah, but SiriusXM also has a whole line up dedicated to Latin music.

 

 Setting it up is super easy. I went to Best Buy and loaded the boxes in my cart and asked about installation. They worked me in that afternoon and it took about an hour. Once it's installed, you call the number to activate the system. You can buy a prepaid gift card or give a credit card number. It takes a few minutes and then you are good to go. Best Buy also has Spanish-speaking associates and gift cards in Spanish, you know, just in case you want to brush on on your skills! --> http://www.bestbuy.com/micultura

 Here's a song I found on SiriusXM - it's a reggae version of Katy Perry's Firework. I love it!
