If you're into ambient music -- and I didn't think I was until I heard this -- take a look at 9-beet-stretch.

It's Beethoven's 9th Symphony stretched out in time so that it takes a complete 24 hours to play through. That's about 20 times slower than normal. I don't know how the stretching was done so smoothly, while still maintaining the rich textures of voices and stringed instruments. It's downright wacky, I tell you.

Peter, I think that I prefer Solti or Von Karajan.

Enjoy the music, not the equipment.

Nah, Stoli's not as good as Grey Goose or Belvedere.

Oh, wait....

You guys are hopeless. All Vodka tastes the same, didn't you know that?

I'm not sure if it is the bottle of vodka "mellowing out" or "breaking in," but after I finish about half of the bottle, it starts to taste less harsh, less bright, and I feel more laid back. Maybe it IS me breaking myself into the BOTTLE after all...

Who'd a thought I'd have an epiphany like that over a bottle of vodka?

ps - I hate Vodka, even the Belvedere - it's like sucking on a cotton ball full of rubbing alcohol to me. I much prefer Bourbon - the cheaper the better (Jim Beam) - although I do have a weak spot for Maker's Mark.
