9. Phillip Glass's "String Quartet No. 3 'Mishima': November 25-Ichigaya" by Kronos Quartet
10. "Shoot out the Lights" by Richard and Linda Thompson

Yea, the Kronos Quartet thing. I've been wondering when that would come up. I'm not a big classical music fan, but sometimes it's good background. I loaded the Kronos CD for this reason. Since it's Phillip Glass and therefore sounds contemporary, it actually works sometimes. The effect certainly isn't any weirder than second-wave punkers Social Distortion sharing space with bluegrass demigod Bill Monroe.
