Recently, I’ve been listening to a boatload of old Canadian records from the late '60s - late '70s. I’ve been sharing them with a friend, so we are both taking the same trip down memory lane. Mainly, they’re records you can’t get on CD, that I fixed up on the computer. They were on the radio, and popular, but these days, many of them are totally unavailable in digital form.
Right now? Puddle of Mudd - Control
last.fm tells me the ten songs immediately preceding that were:
Regina Spektor – Your Honord
Kate Bush – How to Be Invisible
Tegan and Sara – The First
Wolfsheim – Touch
Depeche Mode – Love in Itself
Modern English – I Melt With You
Simon & Garfunkel – Mrs. Robinson
Bishop Allen – Click Click Click Click
The Beatles – Let It Be
Bad Religion – Infected
Wow, I would really love to hear this. I love how Tom’s songs sound when covered by girl singers, like Neko Case’s “Christmas Card From a Hooker in Minneapolis” and Holly Cole’s entire Tom Waits tribute album, Temptation.
As for me, I’ve been on a Jonathan Richman and the Modern Lovers kick.
Right now, “Girls” by Death In Vegas, on the Lost in Translation Soundtrack.
Such a beautiful song. 
Via my computer’s drive, Ray Lamontagne’s Trouble.
In my head, the theme from Jeeves & Wooster.
I know that it’s somewhat vain, but I’m listening to a CD of various arrangements of the Australian national anthem, several of which were recorded by my choir. I picked up free copies of the CD and DVD from my local member yesterday.
And I think we sound pretty good. 
¡Ay! by Astrid Hadad.
Yo–You know DJKrush?
Various J-pop.
A few hours ago I was not listening to music but playing it. Specifically, laying down a pseudo-Turkish bass groove on a sinister, drum-heavy improvised jam. I’d say it was sort of like “Anonymous Skulls” by Medeski, Martin and Wood mixed with the music from “The Jungle” level of Turok: Dinosaur Hunter for N64. But more manic.
Currently on my iTunes playlist: Pavement, Smashing Pumpkins, Kings of Leon, Destroyer (side project of Daniel Bejar of the New Pornographers,) Carbon Leaf, Mark Knopfler and The Zombies.
Tool, “Ticks and Leeches”,
while posting Winamp went to K.D. Lang “So it shall be”
Not many other stations would play Mongo Santamaria, Frank Sinatra and the theme from Jonny Quest in a row.
At this very moment, the sound of the TV in another room. I think it’s the DVR replay of the latest Boston Legal. Otherwise, just the sound of my typing.
The latest music I would have been hearing (not on the same TV in the same room) would have been some streaming audio associated with a talk show yesterday afternoon. What they call “bumper music” I believe. The latest music that I was actually paying any attention to would have been a couple of days ago, again on streaming audio, from the WMOT website.
FWIW, I keep the music at a low level when I’m at the Dope, so I can concentrate more easily on the content. I mostly listen to music when I’m working puzzles of various kinds, or when I’m otherwise not focused on other things.
Wow. I haven’t heard this song in…hmmmm…35 years? It was a frequent highlight on the 'rent’s rotation.
Right now I’m slowly working my way through Minor Threat’s Complete Discography.
From last.fm:
Easy Star All-Stars – Any Dub You Like
Easy Star All-Stars – Step It on the Rastaman Scene (feat. Ranking Joe)
Easy Star All-Stars – Great Dub in the Sky
Easy Star All-Stars – Time (Alternate Version)
Easy Star All-Stars – Eclipse (feat. The Meditations)
Easy Star All-Stars – Brain Damage (feat. Dr. Israel)

So it’s fair to say I’m playing Dub Side of the Moon a lot. It’s really really good.
Pink Floyd Have a Cigar. Mmmm…
Big Bad Voodoo Lou, Tori’s cover of Time is on Little Girls, a fantastic album. Buy the CD; it has great photographs and small stories by Neil Gaiman.
Nuts. The album in question is Strange Little Girls.
“Out of State Plates”, the Fountains of Wayne B-side compilation. The new CD comes out April 3rd, and I can’t wait.
