I found this exercise very interesting. First of all, it seems that most people listen to a lot of music during the course of the day
(more than I had expected). Secondly, although iPods allow people to manipulate their musical environments, there is plenty of outside noise that becomes part of this environment.
Nice work, Jason. And its a good sign that you thought your practicing was musical!
Haha Friends heme song.
