What have I been listening to lately? Pretty much a smattering of everything. Besides the usual (DMB --- Busted Stuff), the unusual (everything Radiohead...I am addicted to their new album, Hail to the Thief...it is fantastic), and the classical (Mozart was the king), I made a couple of CD's for my recent road trip to Indiana with Lacey. My inspiration was two places. One, my good friend Jill Fagan, who always makes tapes for her road trips. I always thought that was a great idea. The second is Cameron Crowe. When he was young, he decided to start making a mixed tape for each month, of music that he was listening to. That way, he can go back and see what he was listening to at a particular time in his life. That guy is a genius, not just because he wrote for Rolling Stone at age 15, or that he has done classic movies like Jerry Maguire and Fast Times at Ridgemont High, but because he had ideas like this. Anyways, my two road trip CD's incorporated both ideas, and are quite good, if I do say so myself.
