What I've Been Listening To: Feb. 2nd

I was on vacation for most of last week, so consider this a list of what I was listening to a couple of weeks ago, plus what I've been listening to since I got back. There's a lot, and Baby Z. makes it all but impossible to write when she's around, so I'll add in comments for those who care some time later. Why do this? Well, just as the onslaught of year-end lists and the annual Pazz and Jop results always inspire me to listen to stuff I missed, maybe something here will pique your interest. It's all good: after all, why else would I listen to it?
