Bah, and a request.

Bah: What the hell did I do with my eyedrops? My left eye's all dry and irritated and I can't find my drops.

Request: I'm going to be working a lot over the next couple of weeks -- big deadline. I need good music to keep me going. In the comments, recommend something for me to add to my iTunes that will be energizing and motivational.

My favorite genre for work music is instrumental soundtracks from movies. The soundtrack from "The Last of the Mohicans" is one of my favorites.

Aside from that, an album I've always thought you would like is Moodfood by Moodswings. It's downtempo house music (if there can be such a thing) with slight industrial undertones. It's great background music for just about anything.

"Red Hot + Blue" is another favorite album for working (special favorites: "In the Still of the Night" covered by the Neville Brothers, and "Did You Evah?" dueted by Debbie Harry and Iggy Pop!).

I also like U2's "All That You Can't Leave Behind" for working music.

Seconded for "Red Hot + Blue," esp if you can track down the video. I have it on VHS, which is kind of pointless since I don't have a player, but I'm sure it's available on DVD. The videos for "Did You Evah," "Miss Otis Regrets/Just One of Those Thing," and "I Love Paris" are especially awesome. And Sinead looks gorgeous in a long blond Veronica Lake wig in "You Do Something to Me."
