[Grizzled Bear]

Megadeth - United Abominations

Check it out. It’s extremely anti-UN.

[Lazamataz]

LOLz

Now let’s see if there’s a reasonably close music match. :)

[DYngbld]

I don't really care what my kids think of my music. If they do’t like what I listen to in the car they can stay home. My kids like talk radio and i will often hear it on the radios upstairs. It brings nice discussion.

[ModelBreaker]

This is a good thing. Daughter’s are supposed to think their Dads are dorky.

[Lazamataz]

Okay, not a music match. I still hold out hope.

Tell me you like Garbage. I love them. How about Chemical Brothers?

[Grizzled Bear]

What’s on your IPOD?

[LibFreeOrDie]

I just started getting into MP3s, since a lot of the CDs I want are no longer available, even from Amazon. I can only get certain stuff now as MP3. : (

Here’s what I have so far, and these were free downloads:

The Hi-Lo’s

Jean Shepherd

Stan Freberg

[Trailerpark Badass]

Radiohead concert NPR podcast

Deerhunter - "Microcastle"

Wire - "Object 47"

A Sunny Day in Glagow - "Scribble Mural Comic Journal"

Just a couple of things I've downloaded recently.

[UB355]

I saw the audio of Atlas Shrugged on overdrive.com. How many hours of a listen is it ??

What’s an MP3 player?

[WhyisaTexasgirlinPA]

I”m more concerned about your liberal leaning daughter than about your choice of music.... how sad.

[fanfan]

Each segment is 7 hours, and there are 6 segments.

I read the book, but my husband couldn’t get into it, so now he’s listening to it with me, and enjoying it.

Yea!

[Little Ray]

The Old Man in the Corner and El Dorado by Baroness Orkzy.

Soon, I’m going to have “Freakanomics” and “Pimsleur’s Spanish for Beginners.”

[Lazamataz]

What’s an MP3 player?

It plays MP3's.

Hope that helps.

[Allegra]

I like the Ramones (I have the Mania album on my iPod), Smashmouth, B-52s, early REM, the Clash, a couple of Arcade Fire's songs....I like a whole lot of stuff, including classical and Broadway.

But I'm mostly sort of stuck in the 80s. ;-)

[Ammo Republic 15]
