In this week's Elated Extra ( http://www.elated.com/newsletter/ ), I bare all and offer up the tunes on my office stereo right now. From Italian opera to Alan Jackson via Phil Spector, it's a wild ride of total un-coolness.

Important questions remain unanswered: is Alan Jackson proper country, and what's on your stereo when you're working?

Let us know below!

@simon: Think I've said this someplace before, but music with lyrics is a no-go for me while writing or coding. I just get too distracted by the words! It's perfect for design or marketing work though.

This week I have mostly been listening to: John Coltrane, The Wonderland Project (rather good!), Mika (the next Freddie Mercury?!), Kate Bush (Aerial), Mumford & Sons, and Pink Floyd (DSOTM).

I haven't heard Elbow's latest album, though I still love The Seldom Seen Kid. Will have to check it out. Just listening to Bon Iver on YouTube - good stuff!

I have all my music converted to MP3, OggVorbis or FLAC (from my vinyl, cassette & CD collection) plus a lot of new stuff bought as MP3 on a 1Tb external drive and with Songbird [ http://www.getsongbird.com ] on shuffle I get random tracks covering everything from Al Green to Frank Zappa including Greenday, Black Sabbath, Zeppelin, Pink Floyd (Every album including their solo stuff and I can thoroughly recommend Gilmour's live in Gdansk box set ), ELP and Genesis on the way, oddly enough there is a distinct lack of country music though

@chrishirst: Songbird's looking really nice now - I haven't checked it out in a while.

I love Zappa! My favourite is Roxy & Elsewhere - simply amazing album.

I'd have to go for "Hot Rats", even if it was only for the simply wonderful "Peaches en Regalia".

And if some of you have no idea who or what we are talking about, here is Peaches en Regalia in all its glory.
