What I'm Hearing

So I got this little MP3 player, a Sansa 512MB I found on sale at K-Mart. Holds about 140 songs, or so. Not much, but I like it. Between work, some bad commute days, and walking around town, I run through the playlist fairly quickly, so I'm switching out my selections about once a week. In the interest of full disclosure, here's what I have loaded right now. This is in no particular order, since it sorts so bizarrely that, unless I go alphabetical, it's a de facto shuffle.

An asterisk(*) after the song indicates something that I've kept for a year or more (I got this back in 2005).
