Ever since I got my car, I've been listening to albums that work as albums. I seem to require whole 40-minute slabs of music that all works together as a single piece. So the favorites on heavy rotation have been:
The Dandy Warhols, 13 Tales of Urban Bohemia
Beck, Guero
Josh Pyke, Memories & Dust
The Shins, Oh, Inverted World
The Shins, Chutes Too Narrow
Is this because I'm driving more, or because I'm getting old and have a longer attention span? The whole opera thing that happened last year makes me wonder if it isn't the latter - when you hit 40 you require a longer whole united musical statement rather than a 3 minute pop song, and that's why opera is suddenly more interesting.
