From John Updike's short story, "A&P" (read it, it's GREAT!): "You never know how girls' minds work (do you really think it's a mind in there or just a little buzz like a bee in a glass jar?)"

. . .

Anytime someone looks through my MP3 or iPod collection, I hear the exact same thing from everybody: "You've got the weirdest, most diverse collection of music." This is true. I can ease in between hardcore rap, classical music, and teenie pop with absolute ease.

In any case, four songs I've been listening to that I find really good:

• Greenday - Boulevard of Broken Dreams
• Good Charlotte - I just wanna live
• The Walkmen - The Rat
• Jay-Z/Linkin Park - Numb Encore

Go check those songs out. They are all hot stuff. If you like Franz Ferdinand, the Walkmen song has a similar feel to it.
