New (to me) find.. kinda nice IDM beats I'm a bit of a sucker for this stuff as work background music... pretty easy listening and yet enough going on for some brain-co-processors to focus on when not engaged in work task.

Why we dislike Windows #23,863
Why we dislike Windows #23,863 How do people live with this nonsense? Having to boot into Windoze today to do a webinar (I live in Linux/Chrome(OS) for everything else) and started the inevitable "Updates" session at 7am so it would have time for dozens of downloads and 30 reboots etc.... and then this? It's booted (& working) now.. but I've no clue what did/didn't update or why... I guess I can dig... but it doesn't leave one feeling confident. And this is Win7... the one that works!

Teenage Anthems Ahoy: The boy will become a teenager on Monday. #Bowie Revisiting Teenage Wildlife, here's a nice live version from 95 with Reeves deputising strongly for Fripp it's pretty solid - faithful to the original yet sounding fresh and an interesting outro. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sU1TXeYUqH4 Well, how come you only want tomorrow? / With its promise of something hard to do / A real-life adventure / Worth more than pieces of gold "It's also one that I find fulfilling to sing onstage. It has some nice interesting sections to it that can trip you up, always a good kind of obstacle to contend with live. Ironically, the lyric is something about taking a short view of life, not looking too far ahead and not predicting the oncoming hard knocks. The lyric might have been a note to a younger brother or my own adolescent self." http://www.songfacts.com/detail.php?id=12073 https://www.youtube.com/attribution_link?a=f6GxO0Va-pg&u=/watch?v%3DsU1TXeYU...
