"What the heck are we listening to? This guy sings like a goat."

I've usually got music playing in my room. Most of the time it's playing when there are no kids around (early in the morning and late into the afternoon) but sometimes I throw some on during class if I feel like the atmosphere is right. Usually this isn't the case and I turn it off as soon as kids start requesting songs, which is one heck of a can of worms, but occasionally it really sets up a relaxed and productive mood. This is assuming, of course, that the right tunes are playing, and while I look for a good combination of quiet and jaunty, I definitely can't forget to pay attention to the status of the shuffle setting. "Where da hood at," you ask? Definitely not in my room. Sorry DMX.
