...Among many others.

I do not need the written code of a spiritual belief to act like a decent human being.

I probably have a few hundred favorites, so I'll refrain.

One of these songs is going directly on to my mp3 playlist. Totally Awesome. I'm going to post some, but i need to scan my playlist. I pretty much haven't listened to anything in two years or so outside of the car stereo, etc. When I switched to Linux, which I did because I was sick to death of spending endless hours debugging OS glitches, killing spyware, and just getting very very angry at bill gates, I never found a good mp3 player. I have tinnitus which makes treble pitches difficult for me, and so I like to have a good equalizer that let's me adjust each pitch range independently.

Anyway, last spring I started on the iPad, and summer the Mac, and now I've been using the Galaxy, I really need to move all my files.

Anyway, one of these songs is already on my playlist. As I listen to these I realize how much my own listening habits have changed over the years.

If anyones wondering why I'm typing this instead of posting songs its because i had to hall out the old windows dino and charge the battery because it has my mp3s on it, and I didn't want to just select the first thing that came to mind.

Conor Oberst - "Cape Canaveral"

This one takes me right back to my childhood, growing up, moving all over the country, that sense of wide-open America, the nostalgia, the hope, the sadness... It's really very poetic the way it's written, full of just "word-pictures", little flashes that bring to mind strong memories and feelings.

Roger Waters - "The Pros and Cons of Hitch Hiking" (Eric Clapton on guitar)

Love the entire album, Waters's first after leaving Pink Floyd. Some of Clapton's best guitar work was on this album, too.

Joy Division - "Atmosphere"

The name says it all. For me, this was where the post-punk movement began. It's dark, it's stark, it's desolate, but in the right car with the right system, those atmospheric keyboard fades will send shivers up the back of your neck...

And speaking of punk,

John Cooper Clark - "Evidently Chickentown"

It helps if you realize that he wrote it with the word "fuck" instead of "bloody". And it flows much better and sounds much better with "fuck". "Stuck in bloody Chickentown" just doesn't have the same beat rhythm as "Stuck in fuckin' Chickentown". But the record company evidently insisted...

The Decemberists - "The Crane Wife"

Just such a beautiful way to put a fairy tale into song. So touching, so poignant.

Some other's I really like. I'm afraid I can't tell you why, I prefer to choose my favorites more instinctually. I try not to over analyze music I enjoy, because analyzing music as a Music Major almost ruined music for me. Anyway more faves.

these next three are the 3 movements of Richard Strauss's Horn Concerto No. 1 I performed as part of my Senior Recital. Barry Tuckwell is the performer in these recordings, he's a little better at it than I am, haha.

Also, he's playing a Holton Farkas, same model of Horn I play!

This one makes me smile and giggle a little bit. I'd love to perform this with a group someday, I imagine I'd come out of every rehearsal and performance winded!

stepping away from classical, this is my favorite Billy Joel song

And I'll end this post with
