The second day of being snowed in was a Beethoven day:
Beethoven - String Quartets Op.18, No.1 and Op.59, No.1
Beethoven - Symphony No.3 "Eroica", Grosse Fuge

That was it!

Wednesday 6th January 2010

Not a huge amount of music today owing to having rolling news about snow as the soundtrack for the day. However, did listen to:
Dvorak - Terzettos for 2 violins & viola
Dvorak - Bagatelles for 2 violins, cello & harmonium

That was all!

In the car on the ways to and from work:
Calvin Harris - I Created Disco
Muse - The Resistance
The Dead Weather - Horehound

Once I got home:
The Kills - Midnight Boom
The Kills - No Wow
The Kills - Keep on Your Mean Side

I think I must have been in an Alison Mosshart kind of mood!
