Wednesday 13th January 2010

Another day with just one disc:
Beethoven - String Quartets Op.74 and Op.132

That was it!

Tuesday 12th January 2010

Just one disc today, on repeat:
Brahms - Cello Sonatas 1 & 2

That was it!

Monday 11th January 2010

At home in the morning:
Beethoven - String Quartets Op.59, No.3 and Op.131

In the afternoon in the Doctor's waiting room:
Strange tinkly palm court then music box type music
Brass band music, including Men of Harlech & Rule Britannia

The Wonderspouse, who accompanied me to the surgery commented that the strange tinkly music was actually his equivalent of torture, and kept me amused while waiting by saying "Yes, yes, I'll tell you anything, just turn it off". Once the brass band started up he said it sounded like a parade for Lenin or something. I said I didn't think Lenin was Welsh.

By the time I went into the surgery I was mildly hysterical, even though going to seek help for depression. We generally deal with such things using humour here, and the rather terrible music provided the perfect stimulus for crazy conversation!

Sunday 10th January 2010

I was feeling pretty shocking so needed something fairly rough to listen to:
The Libertines - The Best Of

Then later, as I cheered up a very tiny bit:
Radiohead - The Bends

The Bends is my favourite Radiohead album currently.

Saturday 9th January 2010

Today we managed to get out in the car for a short trip to a nearby town. While driving very slowly and carefully we listened to:
Kasabian - West Ryder Pauper Lunatic Asylum

At home, prompted by a conversation with @5357311 I listened on Spotify to:
Carter - Piano Music (see here for Spotify link or here for other details)

Later that evening:
Dire Straits - Brothers in Arms

That was it. I had the Carter several times. Good stuff!

Friday 8th January 2010

I was really getting cabin fever, and all that I listened to, on repeat, was:
Amy Winehouse - Back to Black

Black seemed like a much better idea than the unrelenting whiteness outside!
