On the town in Milwaukee: Selecting your evening's soundtrack
In the last 10 years, we've seen the death of old school jukeboxes and the rise of iPods, satellite radio and Touchtune systems capable of bringing you any song in just seconds. We've switched from AM/FM radio play to Sirius/XM radio and in turn, given ourselves millions of choices. In short, we've increased our options but also blended and broadened the genres.
