driving music

It's raining in Los Angeles, which makes the driving HORRIBLE but at the same time is much appreciated by residents of a desert city. I'm listening to Ludovico Einaudi when I drive--he helps me get through it. My roommate listens to Crooked Still, and I am so glad she has introduced me to their music (via True Blood)--it's great!

i'm not in holland anymore, am i?

I just liked this Doonesbury. Because I am from New England and I like tulips and I talk to my plants, too.

Also fun.

Allegre non troppo - Antonio Vivaldi - Concerto in D major in HD

This one is very cute and oboe-centric. Good combo.

Jean Sibelius Valse Triste from Kuolema for orchestra OP 44

I am so glad someone has put these clips from one of my favorite movies of all time, Allegro non Troppo, up on YouTube. This one is my favorite and always makes me cry, without fail. I guess I'm sappy like that. I think I will post more if I can find them.
