My other piece for this part of the exam is Muszkowski's Pensée Fugitive from 10 Petits Morceaux, worryingly I can't find a recording for that anywhere (and I mean Anywhere). Perhaps it was a bad choice, but too late now I guess.

Also I take back what I said about Deerhunter possibly being my fault - they can take the blame for playing a crap and lifeless show, I have nothing to apologize for!

Hi ho.
This time next week I'll be just one step away from finishing my course. Then it's time to re-evaluate.
In the mean time, enjoy the colours:
