Friday videos: Good study music.
I note that many of your Friday Random Tens often feature a track from The Kinks Are The Village Green Preservation Society. This is a sign of very good taste.
If I may pass on a recommendation, the new Spiritualized (Songs In A&E) is quite good. Are you familiar with any of their stuff?
Nice! You have a few of my favorites there, including my favorite Pogues song. Tom Waits can be weird to study to, however. I studied neuroanatomy while listening to his album “Alice”. Weird *shaking head*. I wrote about it here:
