I can't find my headphones -- might they be behind my desk? Hmm? Perhaps hidden in the shadows behind my desk? I think they might be. Woop, and there they are.

I am officially musically frustrated. Some people absolutely need a coffee fix every day, others enjoy chocolate or collect movies. Me? I am all about music and I find my collection with a serious crater due to computer crashes and hard drive failures. I lack the funds to seriously begin replacing the lost gems of my collection and sample the latest offerings from the world's artists, hence musical frustration.

The seahawks...yeah...it's disappointing to say the least, and I personally blame the officiating, number 86, and what turned out to be home field advantage for the steelers. But, to sit and stew about it isn't the answer - it's time to get ready for next season.

and yet they're so popular...it's wild.

the driver i worked with over xmas break played those two songs nonstop. he would seriously go searching through the radio to find them, then turn them way up and call everyone he knew and play them over the phone. Do you get what I'm saying? I had to listen to laffy taffy a minimum of two or three times per hour. That's 24-30 times a day for a month. hehe, yeah no diversification on seattle radio playlists. none.

rob a jewelry store and tell them to make you a grill.

haha

Have you heard Andrew Bird? I think you'll like. He's in the singer/songwriter folk rock contemplative realm with Damien Rice and Eliott Smith, but happier.

Oh, and, I understand your frustrating music budgets. I've wanted Sigur Ros for months now. I can't find ten spare dollars to start buying music again.

Elsewhere on the list:
Fiona Apple
Eduard Tubin
Sting's Fields of Gold
Frou Frou

What's on your list?
