Reflektor - very dense, long album, on my third listen, and it is a grower.

Also...Stars of the Lid....Mahler's symphonies...The National...Tomasz Stanko (jazz).....so much music, so little time!

How do I choose - the "why" part? Hard to answer, because the I think the music that speaks to each of us hits something very personal....one person's garbage is another's addiction.

I use music to rest to, sleep to, write to, drive to, imagine to, dance to, cook to.....and it varies depending upon the activity, the day, who I'm with.
