    Disco music returning to SiriusXM...for the third time...but with a big partner!

    I just happened to land on the SiriusXM website today, looking for something else, and look what greeted me on the landing page?

    They've bagged BBC Radio 1 and will be replacing it with Studio 54 Radio beginning August 15th. John "Jellybean" Benitez will be exec-producing the channel (whatever that means), and Marc Benecke and others will be involved in some way.

    Not sure it'll make me re-start my dead subscription, but interesting for those who might still subscribe.

    The new "Studio 54" station is better than the old disco station. They play a lot more 12" versions and they play medleys.

    I've only heard bits and pieces of this channel, but what I've heard their music choice has been surprisingly impressive. I expected it to be the usual Bee Gees/Village People-AM radio material, but so far I've heard tracks like Barbra Streisand's "Shake Me, Wake Me" (possibly the 12" version, but I haven't had a chance to check yet), Jimmy Ross' "Fall into a Trance," and the Diana Ross "No One Gets the Prize/The Boss" medley. The only thing I've heard that didn't seem to be an original version was a remix of Frankie Valli & the Four Seasons' "December '63 (Oh, What a Night)." All in all, pretty good stuff.
