Customer Reviews
Thanks iTunes and Xfm!
Thank you so much for the podcasts of Travis and Franz Ferdinand!! These are great accents to my already enriched love for these guys. I love these two bands! These are great to have. Special stuff indeed.
power to muse
it is about time that a radio station with so much power has praised Muse and their phenomonal work on Origin of Symmetry. If you want to hear more of their music, go to www.muse.mu and you can hear all 5 albums online. These bands are all highly deserving and I am glad that their albums are thoroughly and accurately represented. Bless XFM!
