muzak on the bus

The ONLY way to listen to music on the bus is with "isolation" headphones, or noise-canceling headphones.

Now, on to content: This morning after finishing up an audio book, my iPod Shuffle played these:
Mamy Blue -- Julio Iglesias (1994)
Boom Boom Ba -- Metisse (2000)
Desert Rose -- Sting (1999)
The Highwayman -- Loreena McKennitt (1997)
Wizards in Winter -- Trans-Siberian Orchestra (2004)

I listened to the rest of Loreena's The Book of Secrets the rest of the way to work and it was good. 1997 was a good year... I want more world music with the wobbling dissonance. (you can tell I know nothing about music.) I remember one I discovered Loreena McKennitt, I suddenly lost interest in Enya.

Go to cdBaby.com and type in Loreena...best lead so far is David Hyams, but his "Miles To Go" CD is out of print. (from the year 2000). So then I went to Last.FM for more recommendations.

Funny about this music interest because I was just ruminating to my wife last night that I can't recall buying a music CD since GranDaddy a few years ago. Can't even remember how I found out about them. Typing them into cdBaby reveals... er, wait, maybe I should go back to El Camino shopping (easier to find than a Nissan Axxess or a diesel Mitsubishi Montero).
