While my boyfriend is out, I’m taking the opportunity to enjoy Jethro Tull’s “Aqualung”. He can’t enjoy a song about a pedophilic homeless guy, but I think the guitar solo is well worth it.

Otherwise it’s a mix of Abney Park, Flight of the Conchords, Muse, Coltrane and David Bowie.

How 'bout you?

ETA: I don’t know what to say. I just realized I have a copy of David Bowie narrating “Peter and the Wolf”. I can’t pass up listening to that, but in my head I’m hearing Weird Al…

“The Silmarillion”, read by Martin Shaw. I’m up to the part where Sauron is further corrupting Ar-Pharazon the Golden, king of Numenor.

(and yes, I know that’s actually in “Akallabeth”, not “The Silmarillion”.)
