Yesterday, while heading back from Debb's, I heard on the radio a beautiful piece of classical music. I had heard it before, and probably played it back in orchestra, but I can't recall it's name. It sounded a bit like Vivaldi, but the radio station said that it was Beethoven. I wish I had remembered it's name. I enjoyed it so much that I maxed out my car's speakers for once in a very long time. It's rare that people play classical music loud.. Must be a personality thing, or perhaps that a lot of classical music has gentle parts where it would be obscene to amplify. Not this piece -- it's lively from front to end. I spent a good hour seeking it out, to no avail, on mp3.com. However, I did have a great time listening to all sorts of other pieces I haven't heard for awhile. I'm probably going to spend some good time researching directors, and then get a lot of CDs from directors that interpret classical music the way I like. Perhaps a bit like how with my Joseph CDs, I have 3 or 4 of them, different variations, so I can hear how the singers and renditions vary. I do have a few other Joseph CDs that I regret buying, and they're lying in storage somewhere. *shrug*

Take a look at this. Yeah Shinui! I hesitate to say this, knowing only as much about them as that blurb, but I hope they win.

I'm growing increasingly dissatisfied with my car. I want to replace it with a hybrid-electric. I'm currently researching the Insight, the Prius, and the Civic HEV. Anyone knowing of other HEV vehicles I should consider should drop me an email.
