Mine also changes a lot, but this is what I’ve been listening to lately **NOFX** “War on Errorism” Its the newest NOFX album and while its political views are pretty much opposite of mine (and its the most political album by them in many moons), its still a good album **Pink Floyd** “Animals” I don’t know why, but I always miss this album in all my other trips through Pink Floyd, now that it has finally caught my attention, it doesn’t seem to want to let go **The Who** “Who’s Next” This or Quadrephenia has been seen a lot lately in Winamp, The Who might not get the same respect as the Stones or the Beatles get, but Townsend is, IMHO, the best song writer in any of the 3 big first wave English invasion bands **Soundgarden** “BadMotorFinger” Brings me back to '93 and who and what I was then, and it’s a great fucking album **STP** “Core” Kind of like above, but I listen to this a lot less than BMF, some good songs, but some dead weight to, the best songs on this album are barely on par with the worst on BMF ---

Nevermind - Nirvana. Learning to play the guitar and looking for easy-to-learn songs led me back to this album. King - Belly. Got it when it first came out, thought “Well, it’s good, but not as good as their first album.” Recently re-discovered it and totally changed my opinion of it. L’Avventura - Britta Philips & Dean Wareham. These two are apparently well-known indie-rockers or something. I had never heard of them, but listened to the album in Borders and was hooked by the spare recordings of catchy, lounge-y pop songs. Some covers, some originals. Holiday - The Magnetic Fields. Favorite band since back in 2000, when I bought “69 Love Songs”. Get Lost - The Magnetic Fields. See above! Rod ---

**Radiohead** - OK Computer. It’s odd, just few months ago I hated Radiohead, and now can’t stop listening to this album. **Pixies** - Doolittle. Perhaps my favorite album of all time. **CMX** - Aura. My favorite Finnish album of all time. Perfect mix of poppier and harder sounds. Gets a bit boring towards the end, though. **Firewater** - Psychopharmacology. Had to order this one from abroads (ie. America), but it was worth it. And finally, if we look at the CDs in heavy rotation through my entire life, the fifth one has to be **Dead Kennedys** - Fresh Fruit for Rotting Vegetables. ---
