I cannot possible keep up with what the kids are listening to back in the states. On top of that, I promised my parole officer and several members of the clergy that I'd never visit Pitchfuck again. So, dear friends, send me news on the latest Maroon 5 or Alien Ant Farm. This way I don't lose face with the students in my classes.

Current albums I'm listening to:

1. Broken Social Scene – You Forgot It In People. I'm crushing on Anthems for a Seventeen Year Old Girl. It takes me back to my boarding school days in Connecticut, from the pillow fights and the anorexia to the rendezvouses with the boys from Choate.
2. Feist – Let It Die. Mushaboom and Secret Heart. If I had a special lady friend looking to conceive, I'd give her this album. Then we'd conceive.
3. Gorillaz – The G-Sides. Super fun and better than the original: Clint Eastwood (Phi Life Cypher Remix)
4. Antonio Carlos Jobim – Finest Hour. An episode of Sea Lab featured the duet Aguas de Marco. Don't fear that it is sung in Portuguese. Definitely worth finding and listening to alone. Send the kids on a meaningless errand, draw a bath, turn on a candle, and relax in the warm waters of lyrics you'll never understand.
5. The Stone Roses – The Stone Roses. I made friends with some British teaching assistants by virtue of the fact that I owned this album. And if they didn't become my friends, then sod 'em! (ClaireBear taught me that one)

Special thanks to Europhoenix, my brother, the Winfrey Boys, Soapy, Huizenga, and BearShare. KimFu, I'm waiting for you to hook me up. She's easily the best party mix maker in the greater Oklahoma City area. When I rented a skating rink for my 21st birthday party, she lit that place on fire. And then I broke a friend's ankle in two places. Sorry Soapy.
