The live 8 series is really exciting, but the real reason i wanted to post was to let everyone know how much satellite radio rocks. I recently moved to Chicago and I was eager about the new stations i would hear, but all I heard was advertisement after advertisement! It really sucks, I've had XM for 3 years now and nothing compares with the quality or the quanity of music. I will never go back to terrestrial again. And Wired NextFest ruled by the way, that Philip Dick Robot sure was creepy, but cool!
