I find myself sinking back into the no-news phase. I used to wake up to <a href=\"http:\/\/www.npr.org\">NPR<\/a> on my alarm, turn NPR on the radio as I got ready for work, and then listen to it on the way to and from work. A couple of weeks ago, I was waking up to it on my alarm and listening to it on my way to work. As of yesterday, I am waking up to it on my alarm. The news is just too much for me these days. Instead, I&#8217;m now listening, on my way to and fro work (did I use <i>fro<\/i> properly there? It&#8217;s such a lovely word to just drop in), a compilation from <a href=\"http:\/\/www.hmv.co.uk\/\">HMV<\/a> of hits from the &#8217;90s. Funny thing is, I hadn&#8217;t realized that the &#8217;90s had their own music. I mean, there&#8217;s definitely a &#8217;70s sound and certainly an &#8217;80s sound. But discounting grunge, what is the sound of the &#8217;90s? Whatever it is, these discs have it. The best part is I picked it up in London so it has all the songs I listened to when I was on a kibbutz that I never heard back home. Classics such as Shaggy&#8217;s &#8220;Boombastic&#8221; and Babylon Zoo&#8217;s &#8220;Spaceman.&#8221; How did I live without this collection?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In my early twenties, I went through a phase where I swore off the New York Times, because I had been reading it daily, and it was simply depressing me.
