Music to diagnose by

After struggling with my horrible, antiquated computed at work last year, I finally got them to get me a new PC. It’s much nicer, runs a lot faster, recovers from crashes easier, although for some crazy reason is running Windows2000 as it’s OS (which is a backwards step - the old computer had XP. Don’t know why they changed that)

Aside from improving my work efficiency and dramatically reducing my frustration levels, the other benefit of this new PC is that it has a sound card into which I could plug my old 2.1 computer speakers. And so I can now listen to music while I work. It’s a great way to chill out between patients or on the infrequent occaision that I get a lunch break. I’ve discovered a nifty piece of software called PodPlayer which reads the library and plays songs directly off my iPod, thus obviating the need for CDs or copying MP3s onto this computer. It works well and sorts the tracks by Artist/Album/Genre/Playlist just like in iTunes.

At the moment I’ve been listening to a bit of Keith Urban, since Jenni and I are on a bit of a country music kick at the moment. I’ve never really given country music a lot of time before, which is a shame, since it’s actually very enjoyable. Also been checking out the Country Music Channel on TV when I’ve had the rare moment to relax at home. Anyone else got any suggestions of some good current country artists worth checking out?
