Currently listening to Johnny Cash’s **Unchained** specifically **Kneeling Drunkard’s Plea**. Hopefully he comes back with another album although **Solitary Man** is apparently going to be the last. ---

A really good, brand-new album called _African Travels_, traditional African music meets modern dance mix DJs. Jammin’ ---

Number One Crush by Garbage. Before that it was really something obscure and Japanese that I got from Napster. ---

An old recording (1934) of Wanda Landowska playing Scarlatti sonatas on that huge whacking harpsichord she had made for herself back in 1912. Right now it’s the G minor one, Kk234. ---

Right now I’m listening to Art Bell’s show from last night. It’s my greatest shame. 🙂 ---

Right now, I am listening to the Production Manager tell the Ass’t. Production Manager about his new puppy. It’s a German Shepherd/Mastiff mix, and I don’t know if he and his wife know what they’ve gotten themselves into . . . Before I left home this morning, though, I was listening to a tape of Billy Jones & Ernie Hare, “The Happiness Boys.” ---

Well, I changed my mind… wonder of wonders. Decided it was time for one of my old stand-bys: **Olive** - _Extra Virgin_. G-d, this is such a great CD. 🙂 \*~"…Couldn’t you have told me before? I would’ve loved you so much more. Couldn’t you have told me before? Feeling like an outlaw…"~ \* ---

Well, let’s see… I have a three disc changer in my office, (one of the perks of having your own office, even if it has no windows) and this is what’s in there. 1. Staind - Break the Cycle, which is one of the best purchases I’ve ever made. 2. Tool - Lateralus Still getting used to this one… 3. Jane’s Addiction - XXX album. (I believe this is their first album, put out on a label that no longer exists.) When I take out the JA and the Tool, (because the Staind has been in there for about a week) more than likely it will be Green Day’s “1039 Smoothed out Slappy Hours” and Social Distortion’s “Live at the Roxy”. ---

I have the new Rammstein album Mutter on a continuous loop along with the ‘secret track’ Halleluiah (which should have been a single). And if I may jump up on this kleine deutsche soap box for a minute: I would encouarage those of you who have been on the fence regarding Rammstein to please give this new album a listen. It’s much different and much better than their past stuff and there’s many different STYLES of music on it that I think you would enjoy. No, it’s not the greatest lyrical/musical album of all time, they are not the next Beatles, and they are not for everyone, but if you get the chance, give Mutter a listen. If you’re not out of your chair DANCING to the song Zwitter, frankly, you must not be alive. thank you. jarbaby ---

That would be **Love Will Keep Us Alive** by The Eagles. Lovely song. I forsee a little James Ingram - **I Don’t Have the Heart** next. ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Jet Jaguar \* > \*\*Right now I’m listening to Art Bell’s show from last night. It’s my greatest shame. 🙂 \*\* Ah, another one who knows the shame of being a devotee of both Cecil and Art. How can this be reconciled? It can’t! Art’s show is the pinnacle of people-with-tinfoil-hats type stuff, but damn it’s fun to listen to, and it can make you a little worried if you are listening at night. I think that’s why it’s so popular, it’s easy to induce paranoia in people when it’s late. Well, I really like Art dammit, but I won’t listen to any of the other hosts. ART IS BACK!!! YAY!! I’m still not over that. Beware of Shadow People, and continue on with the thread. Lucky Charms ---

“For The Roses” by Deus (or dEUS, if you want to be pretentious about it). For about the 12th time in two days. Oh how I love this song. ---
