For me it changes a lot. At the moment I'm listening to Major Lazer's new EP. The single from it is "Good Enuff."

Usually this sort of stuff doesn't appeal to me. After all it's pretty standard Jamaican dub, I'm sure there is better examples of the genre out there. I just can't stop listening to it for some undefinable reason.

Big Boi's (of OutKast fame) new album is pure gold as well. I'm listening to it three times a week right now, but at least twice through each sitting.

I would like this thread to be about new music, but I'm not your mom, so you can answer the question however you please.

Right now I'm listening to USA 4 Africa.

Of that whole line up, I think its only Kenny loggins and kim Carnes who have faded from the music scene.

And thats 25 years ago. Exclamation

Not really much choice on youtube for this guy, but this is a selected part of what I tend to have in my ears daily

hahahaha Laughing Touche. I can't say I actively listen to a Spin Doctors song every day, but it is safe to say that one of their songs cycles through my head at some point during the day. Same goes for Smash Mouth.

Did you ever watch the Sarah Silverman show? The creepy neighbor had only this song on his ipod. He supposedly loved only metal, so his partner freaked out. I laughed hard when I saw it.

I don't actually listen to it every day, but when I'm at the gym it's early on my playlist.

I've seen a handful of eps of that show, and laffed my ass off. It's high on my list of shows to complete. The Spin Doctors were definitely part of my aural education. For better, or for worse.

(Daily? What a strange question! Perhaps was meant: "What do you listen to these days?")

I've recently been infatuated with Cuban jazz pianist Hilario Duran Trio and am plowing through the albums, re-listening to some frequently this summer, especially enjoying Segment from the 2004 album New Danzon.

And Jeremy Steig's Howlin' For Judy has blown my mind with the "stone-funky" flute. Shocked The jazz flute!

Yeah, Big Boi's new album is better than the last Outkast album, easily.

No, I think he meant daily.
It seems like every week there is a different song I am infatuated with and have to hear at the start of my journey to work.

I think the last couple weeks have been:
Wolf Parade: You are a Runner and I am my Father's Son (2005)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Y45HYmX5mw

The Decemberists- Engine Driver (2005)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HG1FlsgLQQY

The Dutchess and the Duke- Hands (2009)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5KtHV4GzUMM

Sorry these aren't new, but they are my most recent obsessions on my playlist.

On a side, if you aren't listening to Sunset Rubdown, now comes before never. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hJizd1JwRks

I've listened to Apologies To The Queen Mary at least 900 times. I listened to it three times a day without fail all through 2008.

Dragonslayer (Sunset Rubdown) is killer as well.

The new Arcade Fire comes out this week. Can't wait.
