Playing in the past

few minutes:

Big Star – The Jayhawks
Where Is My Mind? – Pixies
Down in the Tube Station at Midnight – Jam
Plateau – Nirvana
Will the Circle Be Unbroken – Carter Family
I’m Easy – Faith No More
142 Thru – Thomas Trio and the Red Albino
Ici Les Enfants – Monochrome Set
Redondo Beach – Patti Smith

The Economist, but I keep finding and reading interesting articles before I get my copy.

Kinda makes my subscription seem pointless.
