Weekend Distraction

I was in a rather erudite mood after attending last night's 25th Anniversary concert by the Auckland Philharmonia (Beethoven's 8th, violinist Eugene Fodor playing Ravel's Tzigane and Poème by Chausson, some exciting Mexican stuff and NZ composer Ross Harris' hilarious orchestral mashup entitled Cento).

I'd also just splurged at Borders on the Berlin Philharmoniker under Claudio Abbado playing Mahler's 5th, (thanks to a recommendation by Nick), AEOC's Fanfare for the Warriors and some Benjamin Britten choral work sung by the Choir of King's College Cambridge. I was well ready for some serious listening on Saturday and Sunday.

But then I found this video, I lost my attention span, and my brain turned to mush. Yes, it's an ad for Microsoft, but I thought it was so silly that it deserved to be posted.

Curse this modern world and its adolescent diversions.
