Some rather obscure cello piece by Dvorak on the radio.
The Icelandic LazyTown DVDs arrived yesterday and I will abuse them to improve my Icelandic (when I find the time to learn even the basics).

The annual carol service from King's College, Cambridge.  I recorded it on my HDD Freeview machine; now I have the laptop plugged in and am editing it to .wav files.  Then I'll burn a CD, as every year.

A radio feature on celtic christmas traditions and music

My dear brother & his family got me Fiona Apple's 3 CD collection for giftmas this year.

And I'm on track #4 of the 3rd CD (which I've already ripped into MP3, natch).

I like it-- her voice is perhaps best described as "earthy", yet she has a wide vocal range.  And? She manages to keep her pitch (I canna stand off-pitch singing... s'pose it's why I despise US country music... )

Now, track #5.  A complex artist is Ms Apple.

All Led Zeppelin, currently Dazed and Confused

Well you would be after listening to Led Zeppelin.

Mozart.  BBC Radio 3 has been playing wall-to-wall Mozart for several days, interrupted only by short narrations about him.

Mozart was what I listened yesterday until the battery of the mp3 died*

*Now my big mp3 player has to be charged in the most unorthodox** way because it restarts constantly if plugged in properly.
**I now have to hardwire the battery to a charger...

Byzantine hymns on the radio

Can't get LazyTown songs out of my head

Vaughan Williams carols performed by Maddy Prior

Quote from: PachyThe Goon Show

Would that be the repeats on Radio 7?   I've set my digital hard-drive thingy to record them all.

Time for your Owwwww, Moriarty!

Boo hoo! The twelve days of  solid Mozart on BBC R3 are over.  It was bliss.
