Coldplay and Norah Jones.

All I can say is that I wished I'd bought them sooner.

Coldplay and Jones are both great.
Right now I'm listening to a new guy I heard about: James Blunt. I love his "Tears and Rain" song. It's wonderful.

An entire album of Coldplay drives me nuts.

I burned out on Christmas music about a week ago. I spent the better part of that week listening to Neil Finn (solo and with Crowded House) and Bruce Springsteen. Yeah, it even mystifies me.

I'm back into my nearly 7000 song mix though, so while "Low Budget" by the Kinks (live in 1930) is playing right now, by the time you read this, it could be a completely different genre.

Yeah, I like Coldplay in small doses. Otherwise their stuff can blend together too much.
I, too, am rather tired of C-mas music.
Right now I'm listening to Jack Johnson's "Good People."  haha. Luv it.

Which is why I just bought off iTunes the songs I liked, mixed them into playlists, and listen to them occasionally.

Although at first I listened to the seven songs at once, over and over. But I agree--after a time, Coldplay is better in small doses.

Yep. Don't ya just love playlists? :D That's definitely one of the best features of iTunes (and those other media players, of course).

Amarantine by Enya. It's definately one of her best albums.

Funeral March of the Queen Marry. National Public Radio

... Did you just say Tool and Detox in that order? Without "from" between them in the reverse? What's the problem? Feeling too sweet?

For right now nothing, but as soon as my other computer with a working sound card starts up I will be listening to The Magic of the Celtic Harp.

My husband is totally to blame for this, because he's the Beatmania addict, but I found the first album by Dr. Bombay.  Very weird.

KÀ by Cirque du Soleil.  It's quite good.  A little more epic-feeling than the other Cirque albums.

e, you ever heard James Blunt's "Out of My Mind" tune? I started laughing the other day because of the lyrics involving a monkey. haha. Made me think of you. ;)
Part of it goes:
"Judging by the look on the organ grinder,
He'll judge me by the fact that my face don't fit.
It's touching that the monkey sits on my shoulder.
He's waiting for the day when he gets me, . . ."

I don't think I have, though I do believe someone has recommended it to me. I'll have to check it out

Right now I've got 80s pop divas on the mind. Debbie Gibson and Belinda Carlisle. Yeah, I don't know what's wrong with me. I'm trying to purge it with a dose of P. Diddy and The Notorious B.I.G. It's all about the Benjamins, Baby!
