Getting psyched for my first Halloween where there is actual autumn, so I'm listening to one of the great all-time Halloween sound effects albums. Sounds corny nowadays and even a little "wrong", but when I was a kid we'd bust this album out every year and we loved it.

Nightwish, Type O Neg, Helloween, and Skynyrd at work.
Lots of audiobooks on my commute.
But I've got a lead on a lovely new recording of some Palestrina by The Sixteen, so I may look to pick that up soon.
I've also been listening to recordings of the piano and recorder pieces I'm learning.

Fates Warning, last night, live. One advantage of their obscurity is I was 5 feet from the stage for a grand total of $20.
Magnificent show, as always, from one of my favorite bands.

RIP Allen Toussaint
I got to catch him perform twice, New Years Eve 2000 and again just this past Mardi Gras. Great show each time, and helluva nice guy.

Got my Christmas mix going:
Have a Merry Chess Christmas - Chuck Berry, Rotary Connection and etc. Bluesy and soulful.
Bob Dylan's Christmas in the Heart - slagged by the critics at the time, probably the best Christmas album of new music in the last 20 years. "Must Be Santa" is a classic. Elvis' Christmas Album - Duh. "Santa Claus Is Back in Town" is still the dirtiest Christmas song of all time. A Christmas Gift for You from Phil Spector - Greatest Christmas album of all time, with tons of Darlene Love. The Ventures Christmas Album - Surf rock Christmas carols!
And of course, How the Grinch Stole Christmas with Boris Karloff's narration and Thurl Ravenscroft's singing.
These guys are friends of mine, and recently recorded four songs produced by Tad Doyle (of the eponymous 80s-90s band "Tad"), who also contributed vocals to a few tracks.

I swear that the first glance I got of that was "The Venture Brothers Christmas Album"
