Interview

Just got back from my agency interview. Seemed to go well despite having a nasty cold coming on. I'm back in bed now dosed up on painkillers. Most annoying thing was their excel test based on the 2000 version. I use 2007 at home and wow does that old version bite.

Ive recently got onto spotify, which is a bit like lastfm, but is a downloadable prog and has lots of different stuff on there streaming at 160kbs, which is plenty for my non audiophillic ears. I recommend a look at the smithsonian folkways recordings, which are there almost in their entirety. Broadside Ballads, Vol. 3 is a fantastic listen. They also have a near complete collection of the fast folk recordings, which was a musical magazine running through the 80s and 90s in greenwich village. Such distinguished names as Tracy Chapman, Dave Van Ronk, Shawn Colvin and the afforementioned John Gorka all recorded for the magazine. There really are some lost gems on there, interspersed with some weird shit as well.
