Might as well go for what's important....
Music is lifeblood for me (read various rants on the site for more on that one). I've had t'be musicless & soundless for FOUR DAYS while my fucking cunt housemate did her 99 taxes (DON'T ask...). I'm making up for it now.
I'm on a huge Bj�rk kick--all her solo albums & her Sugarcubes days, especially now that I've seen "Dancer In The Dark" & can listen to the "Selmasongs" CD & understand it. Also been testplaying a 2-CD anime & J-pop sampler I made for the other housemate's sister. Throw in Bond music, Tanya Donelly, the Breeders, Belly, Paula Cole, the "Silent Mobius" CD I picked up...& always the everpresent "Cowboy Bebop," "Gladiator," Fantastic Plastic Machine, Vanessa Daou, Nina Gordon, & Dido..

My favorite band is, of course, the Moody Blues. Most people here don't know who they are(even though they were very popular).
Lately, however, I've been listening to a lot of Industrial/techno/ambient... and I'm enjoying it a lot. I like a few Rammstien, but mostly Individual Totem and Apoptygma Berzerk, relatively unheardof bands from Germany.
'The State' - NickelBack (Great guys, BTW. I hung out with them this summer. One guy looks like Jesus.)
'Venus Isle' - Eric Johnson
'Rising Force' - Yngwiw Malmsteen
&
A lot of Kurt Elling.

Moslty what's on the radio. I like alternative and alt. rock. I have recently been in to Garbage and No Doubt. But I like all sorts of stuff. The Cure, U2, New Order, Duran Duran, Stone Temple Pilots, Oingo Boingo, The Offspring, Foo Fighters, Dishwalla, Nine Inch Nails, Smashing Pumkins... You know stuff like that.

Right now, I'm listening to Moby's Songs 1993 - 1998. Also been listening to the Chemical Brothers Exit Planet Dust, Radiohead's Kid A and OK Computer, Propellerhead's Decksandrumsandrockandroll, and the Tomorrow Never Dies soundtrack

I own mostly musicals and movie/tv soundtracks. Current favorites include Ragtime, Les Miserables, Tarzan, Titanic (the musical), Notre Dame de Paris (French musical), The Scarlet Pimpernel, 1776, and Side Show. My roommate's totally into classical, which I also like. So I've been listening to more classical lately on the radio.

Right now, nothing. Earlier in the day, U2. I've been getting a few mp3s (none have been U2) to burn a new disc soon. And I listen to them. Which reminds me, I'm waiting for disc 1 of the Beautiful Day single from Canada, U2's new album, a used copy of Midnight Oil's best of disc, a copy of a bootleg of U2's PopMart Santiago concert, a copy of another U2 bootleg, this time of old demos and stuff, and I still need to pay for a copy of Creed's current disc. All just to add to my cd collection which stands at around 120 discs. And I still need to get a copy of Collective Soul's new cd. And of course, I do burn some discs for myself.
Yeah, I know. More than you needed to know.

Groundskeeper Willy: Aye. I also 'ate the mess he left on me rug. [Bart stares.] Ya heard me!
I got into them heavily after hearing 'She Said' on the radio, about 2 years back, I still like their Self-Titled and their First CD, but 'Dosage' & now 'Blender' are just dumb. Who do they think they are with all that faux-techno shit? I mean, if it was done properly, it'd kick ass, but it's all so...formulaic. Ugh.

Ooohhh.....just came home from HMV with 'The World Is Not Enough' by David Arnold (Never mind that Garbage at the beginning. Literally and figuratively.), and also 'Messenger' by Kurt Elling.
