It sounds sort of like Lite-FM, but with more steel drums. So it's just a little bit different than anything you might hear on either free radio or online music casts from Yahoo! or Netscape. It's kind of, sort of, like what you might hear in on the radio in some cabs in New York City, with a Haitian DJ announcing songs in French. But without the static.

So Sirius gets credit for trying. If they keep at it, they may just get it right.
