Lately I’ve made my way back around to **Recoil** ’s “Liquid”.

Tool’s “Aenima” and “Undertow” in addition to APC’s “Mer de Noms”.

All three have been favorites for two years now and show no signs of being replaced any time soon.

‘Want One’ - Rufus Wainwright - Mrs Macau says I’m falling in love with him - she may be right…

‘Trans-Atlantic Ping-Pong’ - Glenn Tilbrook - includes the 1st Difford/Tilbrook song for years.

Both are searingly honest albums with fantastic tunes/playing

Got to say I’ve not heard of the majority of the above - must start downloading

Disturbed - _Believe_

It’s usually what’s in the deck in my truck. I love it when my wife gets in with me and hears it playing. She rolls her eyes and starts in with the whining.

Her: “Oh god, not Disturbed. Can we listen to something else?”

Me: “Nope.”

What about “The Thirteenth Step” and “Lateralus”? I actually like those albums better than the ones before them.

[Peace Love Death Metal](http://www.allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll?p=amg&uid=UIDSUB040407101340281181&sql=A4cklu3yaandk) by **The Eagles of Death Metal**

No, they’re not “Death Metal”… not that there’s anything wrong with that.

My current favorite CD is the one from Washington Mutual bank.  
Their interest rates are phenomenal.

My cd collection was recently stolen from my car(at IHOP of all places), so I have no current favorite cd I can listen to. Thanks for conjuring up bad memories. But, If I did have a few cd’s I could listen to, I imagine the cd’s would be To The 5 Boroughs by the Beastie Boys and De-loused in the cornatorium by the Mars Volta.

I bought [Songbird](http://www.towerrecords.com/product.aspx?pfid=1327615) after hearing Eva Cassidy’s haunting rendition of “Fields of Gold” on an Australian radio station. Eva was a local singer who died of cancer before she got a chance to taste fame; IIRC, all her CDs were released posthumously.

I’m taking a random walk through my library’s collection. This time around, listening to Barenakedladies’ “Maroon,” which is beginning to grow on me. Late last night, as I pulled into the driveway, I heard them sing:

“If you think of her as Joan of Arc  
She’s burning for you, get your car out of park  
If you think of her as Catherine the Great  
Then you should be the horse to help her meet her fate”

Now **that’s** what I call a love song!

I’m also listening to the Kronus Quartet doing the string quartets of Philip Glass, which actually sounds better than you might expect. The repeating motiefs are still there, but they’re slower and more varied than in the Koyaanisqatsi soundtrack.

Either the Forbidden Broadway Soundtrack (20th Anniversary Edition) or the Avenue Q Soundtrack. Being in a musical makes you feel the need to listen to show-tunes.

**Marc Bonilla** ’s _EE Ticket_. Fantastic instrumental guitar record. Hard to find, nowadays (originally released in the 80’s, released on CD in '93, never considered a ‘hit’)

I’ve been pretty addicted to SEAL’S new CD lately. I have all of his recordings and they just keep getting better:)
