Music to procrastinate to

Work has retained it’s dominating grasp on my time the last few months, and I feel very drained. My knee went out on me twice in February and this is the first week I’ve gone without a brace on it.
Let’s get on with it though. I haven’t had a great deal of time but here are some of the joys of the last month or so. Massive Attack released their newest album Heligoland and I love it. It’s very different from their previous works and has some very Bjork-ish qualities in some tracks. I posted a link for Paradise Circus in a previous post, but Flat Of The Blade has become another favorite and was the background noise of choice while I finished Atlas Shrugged by Ayn Rand.
Telepopmusik returns to my playlist with their album Angel Milk. Damned French electropop; fit to be music for strippers. Though by no means a new album, released in 2005, they’re still new to me. I don’t care for their rap influenced tracks, but more prefer songs like Love\’s Almighty which sounds like it could be in a Bond movie soundtrack.
Other misc music finds of interest include Will Young though I only like a few of his songs, and Flight Of The Conchords, a folk rock parody group from New Zealand that remind me of the kind of jams Jim Gonzales used to have back in the day.
So that’s what I’ve been up to the last month or so: working, listening to music and reading. Not much new then I guess. I’ve got a list half a mile long of things I’ve been meaning to get around to that I hope to begin tackling a bit more this month. I doubt I’ll be given time so I guess I’ll just have to make it. Whee.
