Classical, classic Americana, and classic techno.
All right, I’ll confess, I don’t know what to call the Chemical Brothers. For that matter, Gram Parsons was “alt.country” long before there was ever a term called “alt.country.” So that means that I can’t find the right taxonomy for two out of the three selections. Mahler? I’m sure that’s classical music, no problemo there.
Most days, I’m spending about 20 minutes riding a city bus. Reading [url=http://www.powells.com/cgi-bin/partner?partner_id=26122&cgi=search/search&searchtype=isbn&searchfor=0679642218]Pepyps Diary on the bus is proving perfect. Short, sometimes rambling entries, sometimes something of importance, sometimes just day-to-day events, like, the author was a Pisces with Mars tightly conjunct his Sun, tidbits like that. Due to its inherently choppy flow, reading it while on the bus works just fine. Perfect for that 20 minute commute to a part time temp job. “Only way to fly.”
Besides, reading a book with a pencil in hand is inherently more fulfilling because I can scribble notes in the margins and underline passages I really like. Try doing that on a computer screen.
