Almost like having a day off! The sun is shining outside, the birds are going tweet, I have Vivaldi choral music playing on my laptop and porridge and coffee to sustain me. Things are pretty good, really!

I’ve had certain tracks from Dire Straits’ album Brothers in Arms (esp. “So Far Away”, “Your Latest Trick” and “Brothers in Arms”) stuck in my head for several weeks now. I don’t know why – I was never a huge Dire Straits fan and while I liked this album I’d never bothered to buy it and hadn’t even thought about it for years. I have no idea what started this “ear-worm” (as I believe the literal translation of the German term for this phenomenon has it) but it was driving me nuts, hearing these little bits and not the whole song, so when I put in my last Amazon order I figured What The Hell, for £5 it was worth it. So listening to it now, and enjoying it, but somehow it’s kind of like running my brain through the speakers. Odd.

My lovely double CD of his choral music. Glorious stuff. Also a bit of Barber and Copland choral music, but I think it’s the Poulenc I need right now.
