Yesterday I listened to Hard Normal Daddy, Big Loada, and a CDR w/ Port
Rhombus, Squarepusher Plays 12, Carwreck Rmx, Scratch Yer Hed Rmx, Vic
Acid 12, & some Tom J tracks on it, all in one sitting.  The day before it
was Burningn Tree & Feed Me Weird Things.  I got quite productive at the
computer, let me tell you.  There's something about his manic energy that 
puts me in the mood to work.  I have noticed, though, that if I try to 
sit around & listen to it, without focusing my mind on something really 
intense, that I get extremely agitated.  It's sort of like 
methamphetamine without the cost or evil side effects.
