Tell me about what you've been listening to lately.

So a while back, on Consumating, I was in one of rink's conversations and she mentioned that she was going to see The Mountain Goats in concert.
So, on Aesop Rock's newest album, the lead singer of the Mountain Goats sings on the song Coffee which I really like.
So, those two things combined made me decide to see if I like them. So I bought their latest album, Heretic Pride, off of eMusic. I haven't listened to all of it yet, but I really like the song Lovecraft in Brooklyn.
scherzo from Mendelssohn's octet (opus 20) is fucking brilliant (despite that he wrote it at age 16). and i found the definitively most awesome recording of it just now: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0015T7LKM/
other than that, Imogen Heap, Tori Amos, the new NiN project, Brahms's sextet in Bb, and had a great time singing along to Bach cello suites in the shower this morning.
but anyway, yeah, check out that scherzo. oh yeah, plus the fugue from his opus 81 quartet.

Why?
