Lip Balm and Carrion.

Long term project.

You know what I think is an entirely reasonable thing to do?

Buy this book:

And then for shits and giggles attempt to download each piece of music recommended and listen to them in order.

I’ve spent the past two days attempting to find and download music from The Medieval, Renaissance, and Elizabethan Ages (chapter 1) on Bittorrent. It is as easy to find as you might expect. Short term goal: I’m hoping that when I’m done this chapter, Enigma won’t be my only point of reference when I hear a Latin mass being sung.

It’s a 700 page book, it seems to average about five recommendations per page. At the rate of — at most — three pieces per week… well, this isn’t a project I expect to finish anytime soon.

    You and my mom would get along very well after you're done. Umm.

    P.S. I really wouldn't have bothered commenting if the CAPTCHA wasn't "The Mamboed". Oh CAPTCHA, you so crazy.

    Two words for you: Public Library. They'll have all that shit and then some.

    True that. The most obvious solution was staring me in the face. Now to find the library card I haven't used in over 7 years.
