Top Five: 1985
A few weeks before Christmas, I bought myself an XM satellite radio – the Pioneer Inno. I wasn’t too familiar with XM, but I noticed that a few of the venues that I work at had been using it for background music. I was also growing tired of my iPod, because I knew every song that was on it (even with 15,000 songs on shuffle mode, things got predictable).
