I am streaming my favorite online radio station, WKSU!

Their classical music selections are second to none, and I really respect their announcers. They know their stuff, and they don't talk too much.

I love listening as I post.

I love Reich, and did get to see him perform in Houston (1990s, I think.) It wasn't a big crowd at all for Jones Hall, but everyone in attendance loved it (other than the Chronicle reviewer, who wrote the next day that the "novelty" of minimalism was long faded. Idiot.)

That's what I'm listening to.

Ambient music mixed with the sounds of San Francisco public safety radio traffic.
Live fire/police scanner audio from San Francisco processed and mixed with ambient and experimental music. A surreal audio zeitgeist of the city.

I'd have to say I'm getting ready to watch Person of Interest. Or you might as well say 'listen to' with a 7" tv.

My music tastes are very wideranging and include at least some samples of most genres. Folk and blues might be my favorites, but not when I'm listening to Cohen. Or Beethoven or Dylan or JD Simo or.... you get the picture. What I don't care for is nasal 'singing', especially in country and pop. I do like people such as John Legend and Harry Connick Jr. because they don't screech. The list of women singers is yards long and to be kept for later - except mentioning Joan Baez and Sinead O'Connor and Tracy Chapman and....
