Day 23

I actually listened to this piece yesterday and ended up not being able to break away from something to write about it. In the end I guess I lucked out since I didn't listen to anything classical today. I did, however, listen to two great Cat Stevens LPs; amazing stuff, really if everyone detained by Homeland Security is this talented we need to start sending in three new CIA inquisitors, Martin, Eno and Peel.

Well that's all for now; tomorrow will be my final post until Monday due to being out of records. Any guesses on what I'll be listening to? I'll give you a hint, I've mentioned having the piece before, but have yet to listen to it.

Day 19

Today I'm continuing with Beethoven's String Quartets. I have a lot to say about them, but must write a cover letter for an internship applications. I hate cover letters, but I like internships with money and tuition vouchers...Dilemmas.
