Observations of the day

Well, technically, these are observations of yesterday. But I didn't get around to posting it until now. But nevertheless: when you're listening to an Italian guy singing opera pop on your iPod and then you shift over to listening to boisterous Newfoundlanders belting out four-part harmony at the top of their talented lungs, this is effectively being hit by musical lightning.
