Caffeinated Taxes and Music Selections

I don't consider myself to be a huge coffee drinker; maybe I'm a minor-to-moderate coffee drinker. I drink decaf more often than not, and when I want some at home, I make instant. There are only two situations when I'll brew a pot of coffee at home. That's either when coffee-drinking friends and relatives visit, or when I'm working on my taxes. Today was that day, so I'm feeling extra caffeinated at the moment.

I had my Yahoo! Launch station playing as I worked. Since it's been a while since I've posted a playlist, here is today's. There's a bit too much "Adult Alternative" for my tastes, and some artist ratings have been adjusted down. And, the following list is in reverse order.

The Killers Andy, You're A Star
Reel Big Fish She Has A Girlfriend Now
The Blues Project Where There's Smoke There's Fire
Three Dog Night Feeling Alright

That looks like a pretty good playlist. I noticed you have a lot of comedy on your list. I get almost no comedy on my YL station because I downgraded the genre after getting a lot of routines with foul language. As for taxes, I hand it all over to my CPA and let him figure it out.

Hi poutineq, hopefully the taxes worked out OK, caffein or no caffein.

I'm in deep trouble -- I recognize only about 40% of the artists, let alone the song titles. Natalie Merchant was better with 10,000 Maniacs than without, IMO.

Too bad your playlist doesn't include anything from Silbermond.

You can never have enough Eddie Izzard.

I just cancelled my commercial-free Launchcast Plus subscription earlier today. The service is okay, but having a 40GB mp3 player means I no longer have to pay to hear a bunch of songs I like, commercial-free, on shuffle play.

And my mother-in-law is an accountant, so I've never had to do my own taxes. It's a wonderful thing.
