For someone who works in pop culture and entertainment, I’m absolutely awful at keeping up with what’s going on in the world. Thanks to the genius of Pandora, I usually have a hiphop channel streaming as I design, or classical music playing as I study/read. My car ipod has only DJ Neil Armstrong mixes so it’s that, NPR (sometimes KIIS) or silence when I drive. My running/workout ipod is filled with remixes (usually house) or funk or Jay-Z/ Kanye and rarely, rarely updated. My flying ipod/ipad consists of more mellow, soulful jams with the occasional mix of old school Nas and Wu.

It’s not that I’m not open to mainstream music, it’s just that it’s not a part of my everyday routine. If I don’t hear it at a club or on KIIS, I probably don’t hear it at all.
