I get a lot of CDs to review. Many, many CDs.
I mean, really, really a lot of CDs. Piles and piles. Rafts of them. Oodles. Myriads. Hosts.
Did I mention that I get a lot of CDs to review? Well, I do - a lot more than I could possibly give a careful listen to, much less write about. Yet I like to give everything a chance. What to do?
Like many people who work for a living, I have certain tasks that require total concentration, and others whose tedium is ameliorated by background music.
