At BFCAT we have Sirius satellite radio. Well, sometimes we have Sirius satellite radio. More often than not it seems we are "Acquiring Signal" than enjoying commercial free music from outer space.
Anyway, when it does work, it seems we rotate through a select couple of channels. They include, but are not limited to: Coffeehouse (ironically enough), Left of Center, Sirius Disorder and, at least when I'm working, Symphony Hall.
Coffehouse is an annoying channel that plays way too much Indigo girls and not enough of anything else.
Left of Center is your typical college-indie-rock channel that plays some iffy songs in the lyrics department.
Sirius Disorder is usually the best bet. The songs are "safer" yet not laden with girls of any color, be they indigo or anything else. Today, however, they played an Indigo girls song forcing me to switch over to...
Symphony Hall. More and more I'm liking this channel. Classical music allows you to sit and enjoy the environment of the coffee shop without being focused on the song itself. It truly is background music at its finest.
So if you're enjoying a tasty beverage at BFCAT and wondering why you're stuck listening to Bach instead of the Indigo Girls and you see me working, then you'll know that I just want some inspirational music playing while I plot out how I'm going to kidnap the Indigo Girls thus never allowing them to create new music ever again.
But I digress, my break is over and I'd better get back to work.

I'd like to hear more jazz myself, but, alas, haven't had a whole lot of time behind the bar lately.
Sirius Disorder tends to play tasty slabs of jazz, but it's still infrequent.
I'd love to find a channel that played more world folk music, (just) hard bop jazz, or alternative country.
My favorite station is "Standards Swing". It's spectacular, and never iffy or Indigo. I think they are changing the name to "Seriously Sinatra", which is kind of iffy, but still good.
..."Siriously Sinatra"...groan
