Music soothes the savage beast, right? Why are you listening to the song all the way til the end? What are you getting from it, or are you just too lazy to pick up the needle, or ff, or turn the dial, or… you know.

I’m listening to NPR right now!
But I’m not Chris.
@boots I can see that. But I appreciate your candor. Continue listening.
Engage.
Haiti — Arcade Fire
Because a friend suggested it, and because I am on break.
I am not Chris either.
Mix of 80’s pop music while I wait for my car at the dealership. I’m sitting alone and it’s raining outside. I feel sad. Not the “I wanna cry” sad but the “there is no end” sad.
Haha. Disclaimer: They moderated, but left your initial answers(about Chris). Anyone joining now: There is no Chris. LOL!!!
Brianstorm by Artic Monkeys. And I do have homework this weekend.

@Zen- Music hath charms to soothe the savage breast.
Not beast.
Another Tricky Day by The Who.
Unless they’re nice big perky beasts.
I’m listening to “Eye of The Tiger” right now. My iPod’s on shuffle and it just came on. This song always makes me kind of laugh when I hear it becuase it’s just one of those songs. It makes me feel happy, I think.
@zen: You got the eye of the tiger and the IQ of a limabean. Haha.
See the Light by Earth, Wind and Fire
No needle to move or button to push since it just got stuck on repeat in my head after I got back from the store a little while ago.
Got to go out to Best Buy now, so maybe when I get back it will be Happy Feelin’ by the same. Sure I could change the cd, but why?
I’m currently listening to “Sunshine on my Shoulders” by John Denver and it is keeping me mellow and happy until I leave for work in about 45 minutes.
Hahaha; I’m actually listening to my 14yo son play Black Magic Woman on the electric guitar. It’s a rustic, yet earnest effort and I’m actually rather enjoying it! Oh wait, now he’s switched over to Stairway to Heaven – I’m having a high school flashback!
“southern cross.”
it reminds me of days in college and drinking beer in wisconsin. it gives me that comfy feeling.
Listening to Re-Align by Godsmack. Not a new song, but it came up on my song shuffle in iTunes the other night and I’ve been listening to it lots. I prefer the acoustic version.

Steely Dan, “Changing of the Guard”, from their first album.
And it makes me feel really frickin cool!
Thats All I want From You. Jay P. Morgan 1954
Reminds me of a favorite person.
Go Easy on Me by Dusty Springfield
This is from the first Dusty album I bought, the very one that got me hooked on Dusty. It’s from the album “A very Fine Love” and there isn’t a single song on it that I don’t like. Highly recommended!
I’m listening to Gwen Stefani “Cool” I just really like the song.
A Hard Rain’s Gonna Fall.
Opera Singer, by Cake now.
You could take that entire song as a metaphor.
I’m listening to “Let’s Not Shit Ourselves” by Bright Eyes.
iTunes is on shuffle and this song came on. Listening to it always seems right. I think of it as a timeline of human behavior, doubt, reality, and expectations.
Just watched a commercial playing Major Tom by Shiny Toy Guns.
I am listening to Depeche Mode: Wrong!!
