So, I yoinked a couple of my Da's CDs – actually more than a couple. I ganked Elvis Costello and The Attractions – This Years Model. Also ganked was tom tom club – their debut album.

No big surprise there. I loves me some weird-ass rock music.

However, I surprised even myself by ganking the Westminster Cathedral Choir's album Panis Angelicus: Sacred Music from Westminster Cathedral. Not being a particularly religious person (especially when it's related to all things Christian), I suppose it might seem odd that I enjoy listening to cathedral choirs singing in Latin and all. But I do.

It's very relaxing.

I also ganked some traditional Arabic music and Sacred Music from the Diamond Realm by the Monks of the Drepung-Loseling Monastery (lots of Tibetan throat chanting and sacred Buddhist music – SHINY!!)

Ah, Buddhist throat chanting. I remember when my dad first got this album (waaaaaaaay back when we still had a record player). It was a quiet Sunday morning. Mom and I were sleeping in. All was wonderful and still. Then my dad put on the Buddhist throat chanting and turned the volume up as far as it would go.

I literally fell out of bed in surprise. And yes, I'm using the word literally correctly. I LITERALLY fell out of bed.

One day, if I ever decide to have kids. I'm SO gonna wake them up this way. I'm also going to play the song NO! whenever they ask me for something.

My children will hate me. B'WAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAA!
