I listened to Miles Davis "Nefertiti" for the first time, while playing Scramble on Facebook. I've heard other Miles Davis albums like "Kind Of Blue" and "Rebirth Of Cool" before, and hearing this one definitely makes me want to hear more. This is the kind of album (are they even called albums anymore?) that you can have in the background while you're working and just groove. Also good background dinner party music.

Other experiences of the last few days have been Mary Chapin Carpenter's pop country "Come On Come On" (different enough to be interesting), Rufus Wainwright's sensitive indie-rock "Poses" (a little woosy, but I'll give it another try...Cigarettes and Chocolate Milk is a good song), John Legend's I'm-so-sexy R & B "Once Again" (while I was driving, he's got some talent but I don't understand why so much hype) and the new Bob Dylan album "Together Through Life" (ruggedly masochistic).

And my best workout experience was a Van Halen mix that I put together on shuffle, which was as follows: Ain't Talkin' 'Bout Love (Live), Why Can't This Be Love, Judgment Day (Live), Panama (Live), Best Of Both Worlds, Hot For Teacher, Right Now (Live), Jump (Live), You Really Got Me/Cabo Wabo (Live). It was kick ass. The highlight was Panama, the guitar intro was a real calorie burner. It's an awesome song. Listen to it. Listen to it RIGHT NOW!
