Not listening to anything at the moment. I like it quiet while I work. But being alternately stuck in either the 1980’s or the 18th century, I have The Police, Journey, etc. and Vivaldi and Mozart cued up to play at a moment’s notice. ---

Best damn album to come out of the 80s." ``` Dude, we should carpool! also, I’ve recently discovered Me First and The Gimme Gimmes. God I love these guys. They do punk covers of classic 80’s 70’s tunes. Just wondeful. Can’t get enough. ---

> [@](#): > > I’ve recently discovered Me First and The Gimme Gimmes. > God I love these guys. They do punk covers of classic 80’s 70’s tunes. Just wondeful. Can’t get enough. Wait! I think I’ve heard those guys! Do they do a version of John Denver’s “Leaving on a Jetplane” (if that is inded what the song is called)? I seem to remember some Barry Manilow as well, but I could be hallucinating. In my car I’m rotating Filter’s _Title of Record_, Morphine’s _Yes_ and Public Enemy’s _Fear of a Black Planet_. At home my CD player sits idle because I’m busy listening to the best mix tape anyone has ever made me, and it’s full of bands I’ve never heard of. Woo hoo! I feel all indie. ---

Weezer, self-titled album. I just replaced a copy that was stolen a few years back. This is one with Buddy Holly and the Sweater Song on it. God damn, I love Weezer. Though I have been told the latest album isn’t that great. And this album makes me think of the music I adored at the time I discovered Weezer, Fountains of Wayne, etc. I’ll have to hit my record store and find them, too. Ditto on the Me First and the Gimmie Gimmies, I adore them. Damn, we Dopers have great taste! ---

Right this minute: “Green” by REM. I wish I had “Graceland” with me! But I’ll probably listen to “Workingman’s Dead” a little later on. ---

> [@](#): > > Though I have been told the latest album isn’t that great. Wa-! nf-! gg-! …! Whomever told you this is a low-down, dirty, varmint-squickin’ liar. **Pinkerton** is a fine album. I actually think I like it better than the first one.
