Instead, we purchased a Roku box and switched to streaming instead of renting. Nice savings (especially when Netflix decided to raise their rates). The selection certainly isn't as broad as we hoped, but we've found enough good stuff to add to our queue - hopefully by the time we run through those, more movies will be added. Right now we are alternating The Wonder Years with Twin Peaks (I know, quite an odd juxtaposition!).
Music-wise....I've not discovered anything earth shattering lately. Our morning music of choice is jazz (especially Norma Winstone, Tomasz Stanko and Kenny Wheeler). Sue streams Radio Paradise while she does her sewing, and I run through whatever classical, jazz or rock I can get my hands on in my office while I work on my Dwarf Tomato Project book.
We are going to see the NC Symphony play Mahler's Symphony #4 at Meymandi in early December. Looking forward to that! Best concerts of the year so far have been Arcade Fire in Charlottesville VA, and Gillian Welch at the NC Museum of Art. Death Cab for Cutie in Cary was good, not great (not sure why....venue? audience? song set?)....
