studying leads to strange diversions, or at least odd ways of keeping oneself awake. right now, it's itunes, pumped up loud and angry. my current top six:

mexico - leona naess
my own worst enemy - lit
a new name for everything - the weakerthans
going to georgia - mountain goats
youm wara youm - samira said ft. cheb mami
defying gravity - original cast recording, 'wicked'
