I'd like to know what people have been listening to recently. Not necessarily inspirational music per se, just music that you've been enjoying recently, or music that you have been getting something out of.
I've been listening to quite a lot of Kraftwerk. Their songs, especially on Computer World, have a very chip-like sound to them.
Also, Brandt Brauer Frick/The Brandt Brauer Frick Ensemble is really cool. 'Bop' is a great song to just chill out on a couch and listen to over and over.

Destroyer's Album Kaputt,
and Danimal Cannon.
Bela Fleck and the Flecktones - Live Art, mostly.

Suzanne Ciani's Seven Waves album. It's a bit on the new-age side, but has a lot of qualities I really like. In case you're curious.
OK Ikumi, I'm digging this. Sounds like something both of us would be into
Got Danimal Cannon's "Roots" this week, so, I've been digging the shit outta that.
...and as always Radiohead's "Kid A"
I have a giant playlist (202 songs) that is my go-to for background music I can ignore, which I've spent most of my time on this week. Other than that, there's one CD I received to review that I've been finding myself listening to a lot... it's Skrillex's 'Bangarang' EP... say what you will, it's catchy for the most part
Soul in the Hole by Shawn Lee (comp LP), The KLF, Hendrix, The Bamboo's, and tons of Nonfinate because I'm mixing his new EP / album. (!!)
