!!! My old mp3 player used to do that; if I half-pulled the plug I could listen to just the instrumental sides of some CDs. It was fantastic and probably not good for the thing, which is why it's not defunct, but whatever. There should be options on media players to allow you do do that -- hear just one bit of the song, be it the lyrics or the background instrumentation.
Yes. Patrick. ♥ (How are you liking Patrick?) I think The Arcade Fire uses accordion; I'm just sampling their CD Funeral right now and it's addictive. Loads better than your usual indie pop.
Ooh, I know. "Pontchartrain" is just --. Emotionally draining, though; it isn't exactly background music. Patrick Wolf's "Empress" does the same thing for me: wraps me up and spirits me away.
When I first read LOTR I read The Two Towers, because it was the one I'd brought to China with me, and then I couldn't read the first or third until I got back from the trip. Torturous. And the worst possible way to read a series, but it worked, at least?
