**Soul Singing** by the **Black Crowes** , and as I type this, the start to **Creep** by **Radiohead**.

Also, the gentle whirring of my computer, the sound of keys being tapped rapidly, and the tortured cries of the dead and near dead coming from my basement.

Smashmouth, All Star.  
My voice mumblin’ along.  
clicking keys.  
smoeone messing about downstairs, going in and out of one of the doors, and someone coming out of the bathroom.  
now down the stairs.  
and me cracking my knuckles.

The sound of birds chirping. It’s 4:30 am.

A Vangelis compilation, _Portraits_, and the track “I’ll Find My Way Home”.

Soon, though, I’ll be zoning out to “State of Independence.” Kinda apt for my life right now. Yup, there it goes … ahhhhh … 🙂

Leonard Cohen, Like a Bird on a Wire, from the Los Angeles 1994 live album.  
Just felt like hearing that voice again.

I’m not actually playing any music right now…but I have this damned **Cars** song stuck in my head.

“You’re All I’ve Got Tonight”

Most of the time though, it’s Ted Nugent playing way in the back somewhere. He never really leaves, I just have to listen a little harder to hear him wailin’. 😃

I envy you.  
At the moment no music but I do have the window open. It’s a quarter of nine in the a.m. here and there’s mostly silence broken occasionally by a calling bird. Peaceful.

Time for another cuppa.

Whatever’s playing on RadioStorm or Radio Paradise right at the moment.

At this particular moment, 7:54 AM PDT, Sunday, June 1, 2003, it happens to be the J. Geils Band with “Do You Remember When” on Radio Paradise.

Other than that, the house is eerily quiet. Whatever’s buried under _MY_ basement floor has the courtesy to shut up. 😃

The Crystal Cathedral with Pastor Schuller is on. Right now, people are singing a song I’m not familiar with.

At this very second Ode To Joy is coming from my computer speakers. Now wait a minute. . . wait. . . .  
The Simpson’s Techno Remix. Wait three minutes. . . . wait. . . . wait. . .  
The Sims beach3. It’s one of the Hawaiian songs. I love it. Now wait. . . I think George Benson is up next.
