mtbc: maze G (black-magenta)
We have an old Peugeot 306 with a cassette player and a less-old Vauxhall Astra with a CD player: which I choose to drive depends somewhat on what I want to listen to that day. I have determined that I am not a great fan of jazz other than what is light and popular even though The Mighty Boosh's Spirit of Jazz is not easily forgotten. Another genre I don't already much know is heavy metal and lately I have been trying a Megadeth CD which has been agreeable: not just distorted, incoherent screaming but, perhaps characteristically of thrash metal, I have been pleasantly surprised by how they are clearly skilled musicians.

A disadvantage of the Astra's CD player is that it doesn't cope well with the cobblestones on Dundee roads like Roseangle or Old Hawkhill. The Peugeot's trusty old cassette player is unfazed by uneven roads. My current used-eighties-cassette is of The Three Tenors. The cheap sound system and large dynamic range don't make it great for driving music but the voices still come through well enough to make the experience worthwhile. My mind tells me that The Three Tenors are instrumental in how Claudia Christian injured her foot but the lack of confirmation from searching the web raises the possibility that I dreamt that detail.

This morning the dental hygienist provided me the cleaning and polishing that is routinely suggested. She was pleasant and thorough and it wasn't too bad an experience but I really don't like it. Many hours afterward my teeth still have a little pain: I hope that they are soon back to normal; perhaps my toothpaste for sensitive teeth will speed that process.
