It’s a world of laughter a world of tears It’s a world of hopes and a world of fears…😃 Sorry, just getting ready(Disney World, here I come!). Really, that song should not be on any CDs; it is already burned into millions of minds all over the world. No, I am not listening to a Disney CD, though. I am listening to some Placebo tracks (right now it’s Scared of Girls) that I downloaded from CDs just today. Is my music choice surprising to any of you? Oh, it doesn–you there, in the blue shirt. It surprises you? How could it? Oh, well, I will just have to pound this fact into your feeble little brain even more. MWAH-HAW-HAW… Sorry. I must be up too late. :rolleyes: ---

Like Captain Amazing, I’m listening to the fan on my computer… **BUT** if my stereo weren’t broken I would be listening to the new Dave Matthews Band CD, Everyday. ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Serendipity \* > \*\*I’m not sure how obscure this is, but people always look at me like I’ve got three heads when I mention it, so… “Are You Kiddin’ Me?” by Anouk is a fun yet angsty song that I was listening to earlier. \*\* Not obscure to _me_, but I AM surprised that she’s even known outside of the Netherlands! And yes, she does have some catchy tunes. She used to be really pretty too, but then she decided to get these two gold front teeth. Ugh. No music here at work, bu this morning before I left, I listened to **Twelfth Night** s _The Collector_. All 19 minutes of it. It’s one of the greatest songs ever written (IMHO), and I’d be really surprised if there’s another Doper out there who’s familiar with the band. OK, maybe one of our English friends with a liking to progressive rock may have heard from them. And maybe someone who’s studied at the University of Reading may accidently know the singer, because he’s a law professor there. 🙂 ---

Airline to Heaven sung by Wilco and written by Woody Guthrie. Was Woody Guthrie rich when he died I wonder? I’m just going to try and find that out. ---

I’ve got Morning Edition on my radio. The guy at the next desk has Lex & Terry. A little bit earlier, I was listening to the idiot in the next cube discuss his love life. ---

_In the Moonlight_, by Albert Ketelbey. Had _The Planets_ on earlier… but I have to work, and Ketelbey is much less demanding listening than Holst… ---

I’m listening to the strained sounds of “The Work Mix”: The a/c blowing, phones ringing, Bob & Tom on the radio, multimedia documentation being created, and someone with an annoying, hacking throat problem. ---

Let’s see, since I just started Winamp, it’s “Don’t tell me you love me” by Night Ranger. Next is Thomas Dolby, “Eastern Block”, the rest of this song list is either Def Leppard, Alice Cooper, or Warrant. 🙂 ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Serendipity \* > \*\*I think she’s just jealous that I get to be a muse and she doesn’t. 😉 > \*\* Mmmm… I love my muse. 🙂 I’m listening to a few different bands at the moment. **Slip** - _Abandoned_, which is an alternative rock band from 1995 that didn’t make it anywhere and never got a label, but one of my producer friends managed to find them and suggested I give them a listen and tell him what I think. I’m also listening to **Tool** - _Lateralus_, which I’m not extrememly impressed by, but it’s not bad. Reminds me a lot of _Undertow_, just with a much cleaner sound. And then of course, I’m listening to **Paul Oakenfold** , since I managed to snag the _Swordfish_ soundtrack from Morpheus. I like it. Tho’, who doesn’t like Oakenfold? 🙂 [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/show-off-time-what-are-you-listening-to-right-now/67888.md?page=1) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/show-off-time-what-are-you-listening-to-right-now/67888.md?page=3)
