Writer's Block: Tinsel town

[Error: unknown template qotd]

The ceilings in the house are too low for a decent Christmas tree. Instead, we have an antique ceramic light-up tree that's about 12" tall that we put out for our display. Between that and Dad's habit of taping the Christmas cards we get to the fireplace hearth, we think it's enough.

Blessed Be Wikipedia!

Hunted down all the tracks for the Legends of Galactic Heroes soundtrack. I don't know if it was the data on the disks themselves or Gracenote that had the problem, but when I ripped the disks to Winamp the titles didn't all match what was on the liner notes. The liner notes were right tho'.

Dunno if there are any fan sites that keep track of this sort of thing that are current. I may just put my track listing up here if anybody is really interested.

The liner notes specify which music was in which episode (scene-by-scene!), but I suppose that some of the content was collected in the other sets. Other composers mentioned in the selections for this series include Bach, Mahler, Handel, Grieg, Chopin, Haydn, Wagner, Rachmaninoff, Mendelsohn, Berlioz, Stravinsky, and Schumann.
