Re: What are you listening to?
Wilco's a great band, I should buy some of their stuff, it's some of the rare non-metal that I might actually listen to on a regular basis. Meh. Tweedy was far better in his original band. There are a handful of excellent Wilco songs, but I much prefer Farrar's work in Uncle Tupelo. Wilco sounds li...

I started to read The Sword of Truth series, a derivative/formulaic high fantasy series written by Terry Goodkind, a Randian acolyte.
