Interesting.

I go through music phases, as I'm sure many people do. I don't know how much this list reflects that, because although part of the playing and re-playing of songs comes from me saying, "I want to listen to this one" and clicking on it, part of it is just the Party Shuffle.

Lots of Norah Jones, yet I don’t notice myself listening to her that much these days. Not much Tim McGraw or Beck, yet it seems I’ve been Tim McGrawing and Becking it quite a lot lately at work. Lots of Ben Folds, which is a good reflection of my listening habits, although I didn’t realize how much “Brick” has been repeating. (A lot of Ben Folds fans dislike “Brick,” but I’m rather fond of it.) Lots of Radiohead, which is also a good reflection. I’ve only in the past year or so begun to appreciate Radiohead, and especially over the last few months. I’m tellin’ ya, those guys are stars. And I'm sure they're grateful to me for this endorsement.

Back to work.
