Playlist II

Where's my Busta Rhymes? Where the heck is my Busta Rhymes!!! Has anybody seen my BUSTA RHYMES?

I have enjoyed hearing from you about what you listen to. (Don't end sentences with a preposition.) Sarah suggested I should listen to The Dresden Dolls, but check out the "D" section, pal.

Here goes one last bit o' trivia. I like stuff like this. I like looking at my friends' cd/record/dvd/book collections. So thumb through my iPod.

As promised, no literychoor today. No cosmic pensees on the writing life. Nope! Here, it's too hot for that. It's so hot, all we can think about is trivia! Trivia and tornadoes! So grab a cold drink, Cool Cats and Krazy Kitties and we'll have a platter-party. Here's what's on my iPod right now. A-C. I have variable tastes.

What are YOU listening to?

Playlist

People love the trivia. I do, anyway. And folks often ask me what I'm reading or listening to. Students profess shock that I like Nine Inch Nails. I guess I look like an old fart now.

If I put my iPod list on here, you'd be appalled. But I might.

This is what I'm listening to lately. Nothing deep at all. Just for the idle and curious.
