[labeltornoff]

I was going to write, once again, 'silence,' but I stopped to think first. Part of my dogsbody life is to listen to many things at once, competing opinions, the cacophony of many people doing many things, all of which form a background noise which is constantly with me. When I am alone ...

I want the opposite. I initially thought it was silence, the absence of noise. Coming back to this thread, I realized silence is valuable but contains less information than I discovered I need. The information depends on my needs: the mathematics of Bach, the wild exuberance of Beethoven, the lyricism of Copeland, the hormone-enhancing throb of Bob Seeger, the Delta Blues rooted rock and roll of the The Rolling Stones.

What am I listening to? A playlist of meditation music as I read and write. Why? Because.

When You Wish Upon A Star - Linda Ronstadt

Heartbreakingly beautiful version, her voice is like a bell, alas now forever silenced by Progressive Supranuclear Palsy, a rare form of Parkinson's disease for which there is no known cure. A crying shame.

Of all the horrible things better buried in the sands of time... I prefer my Dieter Bohlen when his bed is too big.

First listen. They're a pretty decent German prog outfit, so I have high expectations.
