what is everybody listening to right now

For me it is the Radiohead's new ' Kid A'. Not really an audiophile recording, but the music is mesmerizing, top quality. Other recently added for heavy rotation is the Lucinda williams(Car wheels...) after I read some post saying that he uses track 7 and 12 as reference. I don't know about track 7 but 12 certainly a reference material. An oh all those diffrent guitars on this disc! And for a year or so I was listening to this CD in the garage boom box(Denon micro system, no less. Beautiful electric and acaustic guitar work throught the disc. One of the player is steve earle! Other than that most listening sessions starts with selection from Mapleshade recording reinforcing faith every time followed by a classical cd/s.

Garfish, Thanks a lot for the ' Car wheels..' tip. I will have to check out the blues CD that you suggested.

Yes, Talmadge3, You are right on the Aimee Mann's ' Bachelor no.2 ' Great songs, especially 10,11,12 tracks. Wish the recording quality was little better, that is why it spinning in the car. The record of the month ' The red girl' however is a disappointment. Is good but not fit to be ROTM IMHO.

Last couple of days bought couple of new CD's which are now heavy rotation, With KID A still thrown in. ' Riding with the King' By Eric clapton and B.B.king and Joni Mitchell's ' Both sides now'. Both very good CD'S with sound quality and musicall qual quite up there like Sterephile 4.5 stars. Joni Mitchell almost sounds like one of earlier James Bond movie theme. Her Voice is ceratinly endearing eventhough rough around the edges. While Riding with the King a perfect Uplifting Blues CD. Both highly recommended.
