I’m listening to [**Kings of Leon**](http://www.kingsofleon.com/kolflash.html)–Aha Shake Heartbreak. They’ve become my newest music obsession and I highly recommend them. It’s hard to describe their sound though. It’s just…different. ---

I borrowed a friend’s Rhino Records’ “Have a Nice Day: Super Hits of the 70s” collection. 25 CDs of bad music! Actually, it’s only mostly bad, and it’s almost all fun. I’ve been changing them out all day while we’re remodeling. Fun! ---

Just lately I have been listening to one song, over and over; I can’t seem to get enough of it: “Song to the Pharoah Kings” by Chick Corea from the album _Where Have I known You Before_ by Return to Forever. This band has Chick Corea on keys, Al DiMeola on guitar, Stanley Clarke on bass and Lenny White on drums. Awesome stuff. ---
