as i live vicariously through your playlist
Another incredibly busy day at work made torturous by the fact that my Launchcast just stopped working. Every time I load it up, the window pops up, the station starts to load, and then I get the annoying IE error box (Launchcast does not work in Firefox). This is killing me. The only CD I have here is scratched beyond repair, I can't get any other streaming stations to connect (same annoying window pops up) and I'm just about ready to cry. I can NOT work without music. And, of course, Matilda is home with my husband.
I'll just have to fantasize about having decent music, I guess.
So, what are you listening to right now?

I'm might get bitchslapped for this, but I'm listening to http://www.wncw.org, streaming radio. Public radio I listened to when I was in college. Bluegrass, jam bands, weird shit that no one wants to listen to. I own no CD's that are anything like the music played on this radio station, but it reminds me of the mountains and the good times. Give it a try if you really need music, but I warn you, sometimes it gets fruity.

VH1 Crunch channel.
They got rid of the 80's alternative channel, morons.

I, too, have moved on. We're now enjoying the mellow smoothness of Husker Du's Flip Your Wig.

I'm istening to the beautiful music of three little kids trying their best to kill each other.
BTW, you could try finding a Shoutcast station that appeals to you and pasting the stream URI directly into WinAmp.

I'm listening to Jet - Get Born on my CD Player.

At this moment, TSOP (by TSOP) is playing on my random mix. I know disco sucks, but you have to admit it's quite a catchy tune. As I recall, that song popularized the "Electric Slide". Anybody else old enough to remember if that's true or not?

A lawyer, mostly. I'd argue I'm worse off, but at least when I climb into my car I have many stations of XM goodness to choose from. Not that that will stop me from only listening to about three. (Classic alternative, today's alternative, and the punk/ska station when I can get away with it- the hubby hates my incoherent punk as much as I hate his soul-numbing techno.)
XM is my new god anyway.

my 80s hair band mix on my ipod
earlier, it was Portishead, but then I got really depressed and time started moving backwards...

The Apers - self-titled
Rocking punks from Rotterdam...
Stardumb Records is a very cool European label - they have a bunch of Mp3's from The Apers, Groovie Ghoulies and numerous other excellent bands available for download here.
I was going to suggest Little Steven's Underground Garage, but it looks like the archives are currently down for maintenance. That site runs off of Flash, so you might or might not have luck streaming it...

Now it's Indigo Girls Closer To Fine . I have to turn it down a little - if the guys at work find out I'll have to turn in my red-state Redneck card.

I thank you people. I think.
The problem is, I can't stream anything, so your helpful suggestions will go to waste.
However, our IT guy is a GOD and promised to fix my Launchcast tomorrow.
Some of you should be ashamed of what you listen to, you know.
