After spending a day outdoors in the BRUTAL heat, it’s so nice to come home sweet home and take a cool lavender shower, put some fragrant candles on, burn some Nag Champa…sip on a soothing cup of chamomile tea…and put some music on while sitting in front a gentle breeze from the fan… I wanted to try a new channel on my AOL radio…and right now I am listening to _My Yellow Ginger Lei_ on the Hawaiian music channel… :eek: Somebody STOP me, I’m a-gonna hula!!! 😛 ---

I’ve been listening to a lot of gangster rap lately, as well as my wife’s Jack Off Jill EP (Covetous Creature). ---

Public Enemy and -get this - _Eminem_ are on my playlist right now. I think I’m becoming schizophrenic. 😛 ---

Powernoise… Like Haus Arafna. Hypnotic stuff… ---

I admit that lately I’ve been hitting channels on my car radio (I have XM) almost at random. I’ve fallen in love with channel 28, _Cinemagic_. It plays background music from popular movies interspersed with clips from them. The one from _Poltergeist_ flipped me out a while back. And _Aliens_ was great. ---

They do either two or three songs on the \*\* Wicked\*\* soundtrack. I don’t think it’s for sale though, just listed in the DVD credits. ---

I’m in the process of moving my entire CD collection to mp3 format. Once I’m done, I’m gonna load the entire thing into a playlist and hit “random”. 🆒 ---

Antonio Carlos Jobim - _Tide_. Not my usual kind of jazz, a little to laid back and soothing for what I normally like. But I catch myself listening to it late at night when I get home from work. I can’t believe I’ve started humming “The Girl from Ipanema”. ---

For some reason, I have been listening to a lot more classic country-western lately. Pasty Cline was actually pretty good. That, and I have been listening to ‘sports radio’ (two stations: one local, and ESPN Sports Radio) instead of NPR while in the car. ---

I don’t typically listen to hip-hop but I’ve been listening to “Aisle 10” by Scapegoat Wax about 8 times a day for the past two months. I first heard it on a soundtrack for an Xbox game. ---
