The music selectors at my work are quite ecletic, choosing to pluck different pieces from one heaping mound of crap. There are no surveys and samples conducted to tabulate general opinions toward certain areas of music, instead there is just the assumption that the music that they shovel upon us is unanimously embraced and that we want to hear it repeatedly.Driving a shovel into my skull repeatedly would be less painful. 90 percent of what is played over the intercom is michael mcdonald, which is an upgrade from the around 75 percent that it used to be as michael mcdonald quickly begins to cover every song that has been conceived on planet Earth.Somebody somewhere believes that all humanity enjoys the same forms of music and that all of humanity prefers his singing over every other contemporary artist.

Condi rocks harder than y'all. WASHINGTON (AP) – Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice said she works out to the acid rock of Cream and rocks out to Kool and the Gang. Elton John’s “Rocket Man” reminds her of her first boyfriend. But Rice, who trained to be a concert pianist before she became the top U.S. diplomat, said her all-time favorite musical work is Mozart’s Piano Concerto in D minor. Rice’s eclectic Top 10 music list appeared Tuesday in a special edition of the British newspaper The Independent. The list was a favor to rock star Bono, who guest edited the paper as part of a charity appeal to fight AIDS in Africa. Half the revenue from the edition will be donated to the Global fund to Fight AIDS. Secretary Rice told the paper she won her first piano competition at age 15 with the Mozart concerto. The fit 51-year-old put Cream’s “Sunshine of your Love” at No. 2, and noted that she plays it when she exercises. “Believe it or not, I loved acid rock in college and I still do,” she told the paper. Aretha Franklin’s woman-power anthem “Respect” comes in at No. 3, followed by Kool and the Gang’s party anthem “Celebration.” Rice went back to the classics with Brahms’ Piano Concerto No 2 and Piano Quintet in F minor. She said the quintet is the piece she most likes to play with friends at a regular Sunday afternoon chamber music session she hosts at her apartment. Not surprisingly, Bono’s band U2 makes the list, at No. 7, but Rice didn’t single out any U2 tune as a favorite. No. 8 is the 1972 Elton John sci-fi spaceman ballad, written with Bernie Taupin. “For Rice, and many children of the 1970s, this song is a blast from the past,” the newspaper wrote. Rice, who is single, added a personal note: “It brings back memories of college, friends, my first boyfriend.” Beethoven’s Symphony No. 7 is ninth. “Quite simply the greatest symphony of all time,” Rice said. “Boris Godunov” by Mussorgsky completes the list at No. 10. “The greatest opera of all time,” said Rice, a scholar of Russian history and language. “If you love Russia, you have to love Godunov.” The newspaper invited Bono to put together its Tuesday edition to highlight his latest venture, Project RED, which enlists corporations to donate the proceeds of products made under the “RED” brand to humanitarian efforts in Africa. Bono has long complained that Africa’s problems get little attention in the news. Alongside Rice’s list, Bono filled the pages with stories on HIV/AIDS, poverty and global warming. The newspaper’s front page featured a headline saying “No News Today,” with the footnote: “Just 6,500 Africans died today as a result of a preventable, treatable disease (HIV/AIDS).”
