Okay, obviously most of what I'd suggest is downright inappropriate. But if you have a laptop handy, you should try hooking that up. iTunes has a radio chanel under "Electronica" called Jazzmusique and it's pretty damn good. Not to mention highly apropos for the setting. iTunes is free, which is always grood. I mean good (and great).

speed the next week up for me. i'm getting lonely here.

Unpretentious, yet crotchety, with the slightest hint of sentimentality. While the eponymous alliteration may be somewhat offputting, the abject lack of Radiohead should be a plus for all comers. Bravo. Bravo.
