One of the pics in yesterday’s “life goes on” collage was my iPod and speaker deck, because recently I have been getting back into listening to music. And this past weekend I got to add this fabulous Beatle’s collection to my playlist, thanks to my friend Juan. Next weekend I’ll be getting his Bob Dylan collection.
What are you listening to these days?

Classic and light rock in the car. Classical online and around the house. Some Indie rock thanks to a generous selection on YouTube.

Today, I can’t stop listening to songs at the symphony of science. They are remixes of various scientists talking, beautifully and poetically, about aspects of science. Set to music. Like this, by Carl Sagan:
“The beauty of a living thing is not the atoms that go into it
But the way those atoms are put together
The cosmos is also within us
We’re made of star stuff
We are a way for the cosmos to know itself”

oh man, I get so much grief here in the office about my music that I hesitate to list any of it…

This is going to sound really stupid, but I still haven’t added my own CD collection to the iPod. Duh. You reminded me by mentioning Tom Waits. Good grief! So that is one of my projects for today. Luckily I can do this “in the background” while I get other things done too.
I’m working on an article about Sevilla and also thinking about getting my Etsy shop up and running. Might be able to move some of my natural clothing stock there.
It’s the first time in a week (last Tuesday morning I was taking Sunny to the vet’s) that I’ve been able to focus on anything. The “new” music is helping.

Don’t feel bad. I don’t even have an iPod. After I listen to my CD’s I like to work on my cave paintings and start a fire at the front of the cave.

Heh, at least you’re warm.
And I’ve had an iPod for a year and a half, so no excuses.
Got LOTS of extra music on it now.

Currently listening to Muse ( much to my son’s disgust as he now thinks it’s not possible for him to like them any more if his parents do) and the soundtrack from la Cage aux Folles.

Quite a lot of Ralph Vaughan Williams and I have taken to the Noisettes recently. But my passion for classic rock lingers and I find myself with an eclectic array of material such as Led Zep, AC/DC, The Doors and Free on my playlists.

Kraftwerk have just produced their digitally re-mastered retrospective box set, Das Katolog, which has newly re-mastered versions of everything from Autobahn to Tour De France.
So me and the cats have been listening to that most of the week. When I haven’t been listening to Scottish acoustic bluesman Dave Arcudi.

I was moved out of my parents’ house for three months before I went back to my old room to pick up my CD collection. Even now that I have them, I almost never listen. I have no music player other than my laptop. I don’t have an iPod or any similar MP3 player, and would never listen to music while walking or in a public place.
