7:15 am: Up a little late this morning (happily) thanks to my alarm clock sleeping in. I put on Panda Bear's Tomboy for the breakfast soundtrack, basically picking up where I left off last night. I do some dishes while Coop drinks his milk.
7:38 am: I start the record over because I didn't hear any of it over the dishes.

9:02 am: My brilliant wife drives me to work. KCRW is on, I have no idea what's playing. Two songs in a row by bands that sound like R.E.M.—the second is something from the new Decemberists.
Tuesday is my day of meeting after meeting after meeting. This week that was compounded by a few projects on deadline. Therefore I listened to no music whatsoever during my workday.
5:50 pm: Home from work, I put the Panda Bear on again. Around the time it's over I'm out the door again for a tennis lesson.
8:07 pm: Tennis lesson over, I surf the radio on the drive home. KISS FM is playing pop stuff I've never heard before. Maybe it's Lady Gaga? This is followed by Michael Jackson's "P.Y.T." During one verse the question occurs to me, "where did the term 'tenderoni' come from?" When that's over I switch to another station playing something by Muse. That's the extent of my music listening for the day. It ended with Muse.
