ok, this is the weirdest station ever:
Tainted Love- Soft Cell
Breakfast- I'm havin' a time
Wheelies- I'm havin' a time
Headlocks- I'm havin' a time
Drunk Tank- not so much a time
George St.- I'm havin' a time
Brenda- I'm havin' a time
Bingo- I'm havin' a time
House Arrest- I'm still havin' a time

Andy this is all reminding me of my first temp job two years ago.  The two mid-40s receptionists I worked with listened to the exact same station with the exact same stupid morning show where they'd give away crappy prizes in their stupid wacky contests like answering some wacky trivia question.  I heard more Smashmouth and Rob Thomas over those 5 months than any band I listen to on a regular basis.

While I'm still a temp, at least at my current job I can wear headphones and listen to whatever I want all day AND no one else has a radio!

A segment about the death of the newspaper on Democracy Now.  Fun!!
Oh, good heavens. I didn’t realize. I send my condolences out to the rest of the O’Connor family.

My cat crying--I think she was traumatized by the earthquake that happened here a few minutes ago.  She was sitting in the windowsill, and then everything began to shake...  :-[

Glad you're okay. Traumatized cats can be pretty hilarious though. I had a cat who hid under my bed for a week after she was "chased" by a plastic bag that got caught on her foot.

She's is hiding under my bed, which is a good place for her in case there's another earthquake.  She's a pretty hilarious cat to begin with--she's the least playful cat ever.  Here she is:

Sorry, didn't mean to hijack this thread with cat pictures.

Just put on Half-Japanese, "Firecracker."

I'm listening to a Terry Eagleton Lecture ("Faith and Reason")
From Yale University's cache at ITunesU.

Speaking of adult contemporary radio, I sometimes find myself listening to the Delilah show, unable to switch the station.

Right now, I'm listening to the birds outside. Ahhh....

I was nerding out on those eagleton lectures a while back. Interesting stuff. iTunes U is a great resource. MIT open courseware: I also approve.

Yeah, I just discovered these.  It's really awesome.  I can clean up the studio and "learn" at the same time.

susannah, your cat looks like mine if she lost a hundred pounds and got botox.

btw, originally i cited a playlist belonging to an oscar-winner who hates abortion...her name was converted to that of the man behind 'how green was my valley.' i regret the corn-fusion....
