    What are you listening to Right now?

    It could be worse, you could be listening to . . . er? . . . Oh yes, "Wired for Sound". That's worse. Although it's all relative. I'm listening to Performance and Cocktails by The Stereophonics, which I thought I liked but now just sounds like a miserable dirge.

    Underrated?
