To you, my loyal readers, I present this list of divine music. These are the sounds I geek out to. These are the bands I cherish. These resulted in my most recent restraining orders. Ah the fickleness of today's rock stars. They want us to love them, but not urinate on their cars. Go figure.
Albums of Aural Pleasure:
Dogs Die in Hot Cars -- Please Describe Yourself (XTC + Oingo Boingo = DDHC)
Air -- Talkie Walkie (Beautiful and relaxing)
Garbage -- Bleed like me (The first half I quite enjoy, the last half bores me, but a good garbage fix regardless)
Louis XIV -- The Best Little Secrets are kept (over-sexed and fun to listen to)
The New Pornographers -- Mass Romantic & The Electric Version (Both albums are sublime Alternative Canadian Pop)
Jem -- Finally Woken (reminds me of the 80's. I like the new new wave trend going on)
Anna Nalick -- Wreck of the Day (Soothing my savage nature)
Neko Case -- Blacklisted (beautiful alternative country)
Crystal Method -- Legion of Boom (just your standard beat music, but quality)
This list is by no means complete. Just a quick hit of my latest obsessions.
Okay, I have to submit the Lyrics to a Dogs Die in Hot Cars song. It is perfect for me. It is my new theme song. You will agree.

I know nothing, don't know much
I think my education's gone out to lunch
I can't remember, I cannot think
what is the difference between iron and zinc
I can listen, I can speak
But my conversational skills are gobblety-geek
I know Harold in 1066
Got shot in the eye with a long pointy stick
Revolutions and World War Two is it true what they say
That Charles de Gaulle was a hero and Churchill's a Nero
I threw that away
I get up when I like
Wear anything I like
Don't keep up with the cool
I make up my own rules
Don't have to eat my greens
Or keep my bedroom extra tidy
'Cause nobody is around to tell me off
I can lounge about in my house 'cause lounging about is...good
I know all i need to know
Why talk Sahili if it's where i won't go
Latin is clever and sexy is French
Sprechen sie Deutsche would hardly make sense
Inquisitions and missionaries seem fairly bizarre
Do I follow commandments from Moses or petals off roses
I am the Czar
I get up when I like
Wear anything I like
Don't keep up with the cool
I make up my own rules
Don't have to eat my greens
Or keep my bedroom extra tidy
'Cause nobody is around to tell me off
I can lounge about in my house 'cause lounging about is...good
