Running through the YouTube war links over at Atrios, et al., and laughing myself silly. Some of the music's okay, but OMG the clothes!
Not so long ago, I went to a showing of "Labyrinth" at the Brattle Theatre near Harvard U. and couldn't figure out why the kids were in hysterics--after all, I grew up with David Bowie and that was just what he was into at the time. I wanted to remind them that their kids will be making fun of their faded tatoos before too long.
If I weren't running bad videos, I'd be listening to opera. East Village Opera company actually sparked me to go buy the real thing.
Steely Dan's "Time out of Mind."
"Carolina Stompdown" by the Aiken County String Band
Paradise by Sade.
"Bring Me the Workhorse" by My Brightest Diamond
here's a link to a promotional mp3 (free and legal):

Led Zep's Ramble On.
For some reason I have had the urge to listen to nothing but Big Country and Judy Henske for a week now.
Sufjan Stevens' album Illinois.
White Album.
assorted Bruce......
The Thievery Corp. tune and Isaac Hayes' version of "Walk On By" are stellar choices. Me? Something newish, "Monkey" by Low; something older, "Love Songs on the Radio" by Mojave 3; and a cover of "The Old Laughing Lady" by Thea Gilmore.
Temptations, Papa was a Rolling Stone.
Catherine Wheel's "Wishville"
I have gone back to high school - and have been listening to 80's music. (hanging my head) But on a less geeky note, I am in love with the Katrina relief album "Our New Orleans" (Allan Toussaint's "Tipitina & Me" and Beausoleil's "L'Ouragon" make me which I could play a musical instrument) and quite like Springsteen's "The Seeger Sessions"
Just finished listening to the newly released Robert Ashley's Foreign Experiences, composed back in the early 1990s I think
& the five before that were:
Ellen Fullman's Long String Instrument with Kronos Quartet: Stratified Bands (unreleased)
Carl Stone: Shibucho (also unreleased)
Pauline Oliveros: Beauty of Sorrow
Tibor Szemzo: Tractatus
Tom Ze & Gilberto Assis: Sanaugustin
Just in case you thought your readers only listened to pop and folk musics
I realize why people in the Red states fear/loathe "blue staters." I was telling my illegally wedded same-sex spouse that we were listening to a song called "Lebanese Blonde by Thievery Corporation" and his reply was "That's hash--Lebanese Blonde is really good hash. I was just talking about hash this week with someone from work..."
Me, I've been listening to Howe Gelbe, Sara Vaughan, Gillian Welch...and really digging Ennio Morricone's Il Buono, Il brutto, Il Cattivo.
Silence. I live for these moments of silence. This is the best music for my mind.
