JMJ's playlist

I was walking to the studio today listening to my ipod and wondering when I turned out to be the moron I am. Now I give an album the 10min runthrough and file it (so that I have 200gigs of music lying around drives in my house, let alone about 600 albums/records and all). So I was wondering where the time went when I would listen to an album or a mixtape for weeks, just those 10/15 songs and all,...you get the point. I dont plan to open a discussion on the merits of todays consumption of music (not that I would mind), but I wanted to see what mixtape you would set forth as an attempt to forge the infinite playlist.
The question is actualy based on two:
a) the mixtape you would give us as a reference to what your roots and what music you listen to. not bass oriented or whatever, what you loved and still do

b) the mixtape of stuff you are most proud to be a part of - live or recorded, being a big band or demos of when you started off

and a nice explanation of both would be lovely

a) http://blip.fm/profile/jmj/playlist, though that's just a transient assembly. Every day would be different, I consume mountains of music in every style except fusion after 1979 and country after 1970.

b) wow, that's a toughie. I'd say Beck "Sea Change", Beck "Midnite Vultures", Ima Robot "Ima Robot", Ladytron, Goldfrapp, Air 10,000 Hz Legend, Marianne Faithful "Sex With Strangers", Macy Gray "The Trouble With Being Myself", Daniel Martin Moore "Stray Age", upcoming Cory Chisel record, Garbage "Bleed Like Me", upcoming Digital Noise Academy.

Best,
JMJ

The latest one. Seventh Tree.

Also quite proud of my work on the latest Dido album, if I do say so myself.
