Good Morning!

Just Wondering

How much does advertising (both print and media) influence you?

Do you think that advertising prescription drugs on TV has had a bad influence on people?

What commercial has remained stuck in your head over the years?

Listening Day

A quiet day of relaxing, reading and listening to music.

I am beginning to warm to the sound of the CD system having it play disparate strands of music from hip hop to jazz, post-punk to grime, improv to industrial and noise, avant-garde classical to experimental, trip hop to drum n' bass,avant pop to indie skronk, and reggae to dub.

It is now nine fifty at night and I am listening to Betty Carter's great album "Droppin' Things". Jazz scat and vocals recorded live with a great jazz group behind her.

Earlier I listened to -

Ariel Pinks Haunted Graffiti "Before Today"
Low "Things We Lost In The Fire"
Can "Soundtracks"
Soft Machine "Spaced"
Michael Nyman "The Piano" Soundtrack

I also listened to some of Radio 3 - the classical station - and was chuffed to know that their composer of the week is bandoneon player and composer - Astor Piazzolla.
