I am listening to Steely Dan, _A Decade of Steely Dan_. Specifically track one, FM (No Static at All), which I believe to be one of the best songs on this CD, along with Peg and Babylon Sisters.

Chris Issac, Heart Shaped World CD, and right now “Wicked Game” is on - “World was on fire and no one could save me but you…”

Is it me or does this man just ooze sex?

The Practice is on in the background, cause my roomie was watching that but she’s gone now, and I hate to turn it off and piss her off when she comes back. I love living in fear, don’t you? 🙂

Happy Listening, folks!

“To Forgive,” off of _Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness_ by The Smashing Pumpkins. I think that this is the tenth time in a row for this song. I really like it, though.

Okay, now I’m listening to Eat Static’s _Abduction_, ambient techno that I found out about, surprisingly enough, from the video on M2 when they were showing all the videos in MTV’s vault in alphabetical order. 1.5 hours of “To Forgive” is enough, I think, and someone else came into the office…

I’d like to get in on a sort of most-eclectic-musical-tastes discussion (in fact, perhaps I will start such a thread) but as for this moment I am just hearing the last notes of “The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway” CD1 by Genesis, as well as some voices in my h… er… in the room.

Richard Wagner’s _Siegfried Idyll._ The original version for 13 instruments. Glenn Gould’s conducting debut and final recording.

It’s on a disc on the computer/CD player in my office…earlier I was listening to Szymanowski’s _King Roger,_ but the young lady in the cubicle outside my office wasn’t happy with it.

I’m listening to the pop rock mix on [Spinner.com](http://Spinner.com) at work. It was Garbage just a second ago. I think I’m going to start up the CD player in a few minutes to listen to Moby.

I’m listening to a mix my friend made for my birthday. Right now it’s on _Satallite_ by Dave Matthews. This is the 3rd time I’ve listened to it in a row, but I love it so much. Next up is _Coffee Shop_ by Red Hot Chili Peppers.
