music plays constantly where i work. music i love and enjoy, of course, but i feel no shame in admitting that i choose not to listen to this type of music in my free time. it just ends up feeling like work. it's like going to work for nestle because you love chocolate; after a while you lose all desire for sweets. all you want to eat is vegetables.
(for the record, i don't know if i could ever eat only vegetables. but you know what i mean.)

i've been listening to archived episodes of "this american life" on my daily commute, and i crave being transported into that world. i forgot to update my ipod last night, though, and i had no episodes to listen to today. so instead, i pressed "shuffle songs" for the first time in godknowshowlong and i had an amazing time.
last 10 songs heard:
willie nelson - texas
otis redding - look at the girl
seu jorge - rebel rebel
luna - astronaut
magnetic fields - long-forgotten fairy tale
kraftwerk - spacelab
david byrne - why
wes whitener - rpm
betty hutton - i've got the sun in the morning and the moon at night
m. ward - lullaby + exile
