waaay back in college, back when there was such a thing as a repertory movie theater, the UC Theater put together Koyaanisqatsi, a Colin McPhee documentary, and The Secret Life of Plants (with soundtrack by Stevie Wonder). I think that broke my brain permanently, and now here I am listening to A440!

rr in sc:

ranjit, sounds cool. Just reminded me of the time I saw Koyaanisqatsi with a live orchestra somewhere in central NJ in the 90s

So...I never listened to 'classical' music before Bethany's show, and I think I'm getting a pretty damn good introduction to things they wouldn't play in any other music appreciation course. So, thanks, I appreciate it.
