| Jazz for aficionados Robert Shaw:The goto person for all things choral. Shaw did some great work. I sang quite a few of his arrangements, back in the day. But not many of his recordings are a capella, which puts them a bit outside my wheelhouse, unfortunately. T... | |

| Name a few albums which helped determine your musical tastes Now this is an interesting question! I’ll probably have a boring answer, but the question is fascinating.This is slightly odd for me, because my life has two very distinct parts.

| Jazz for aficionados Messiah: I *love* choral music, having sung in one for a while. I strongly prefer a capella, though, which, in my experience, is strangely hard to find.Clifford Brown / Brownie: The Complete EmArcy Recordings of Clifford Brown | |
| Who am I supporting? This all pretty much confirms what I already figured was the case, but one hears the "you have to buy physical media to support the artists" argument so often, I thought I'd ask around, just to make sure I wasn't missing something. | |
| Who am I supporting? Who are you supporting? Lawyers. Accountants. Coders. As a coder, I can get behind this. Well, some of it. | |
