The Soundtrack of my Life

A few weeks ago, I wrote in the Gauntlet on "Musical Pharmacology", and lately have been so smitten with Beethoven Sonatas, that I felt it was time (at last) to take a cue from my old pal Nate Green, whose neat blog post entitled "From A to Z on my iPod" has inspired me to share some of the music that populates my playlist.

I used to have one earphone permanently implanted in my ear, but I have gone through the past few years of life savouring music as an endeavor in itself. But hey, I still like to fire up the old iPod for a soundtrack to bus rides to work, and training.
