So, lets say there was an Itunes card sitting on the desk in front of your computer and you wanted to buy music. What music would you buy with it?

If it was in front of somebody elses desk, what music would you suggest?  
Its music, so I think Cafe Society should be OK with this…

Well, I’d probably start with Brahms Piano Concertos #1 and #2, I’m looking for new recordings of both of them. I’m also looking for a good recording of Tchaikovsky’s Symphony #3. If I still had money left, probably Faure’s Requiem.

Actually, there is one sitting in front of me right now, and the answer is “Beats the heck outta me.” So I gave it to the wife.

2 albums I have been listening to a lot on Spotify are: The Bats- Daddy’s Highway and The Clean - Anthology.

I need to pony up and buy’em. Great jangly Aussie pop from the 80’s.

[Erin and her cello](http://erinandhercello.com/) - fun, quirky, folksy. All good things. I see the album is a few years old. Worth a listen.
