I pretty much gave up FM radio a while ago, though I occasionally flip back to it. Lately, however, I have been listening to WCRB a lot ("Classical Radio Boston"). There is a very funny, understated kind of humor they possess, that often gets lost in the mellow, comforting and sometimes pompous tones common to most classical radio stations (think Frasier Crane on Quaaludes if you have never listened). This morning, for instance, during the half-hour news break I was informed that "Last night the Celitcs beat the Orlando Magic 102-97. Tonight, the Bruins play St. Louis at the Fleet Center, and the Symphony plays 'Hansel and Gretel' at Symphony Hall."

About Me
- Name: Brian
- Location: Boston, MA, United States
The 5 point Scale: 1: I drank it, and wanted to warn you against doing the same. (I won't post a lot of these.) 2: If it's the only wine available, sure, whatev. 3: "Tuesday night wine." Okay, it's not fabulous, but if you open it on a work night and don't finish it and it goes bad before the end of the bottle, well--Tuesday was enjoyable and you won't feel guilty about the unconsumed bits, at least for the money you spent. 4: Terrific, as far as plonk goes. 5: Priced like plonk, but drinks like something much pricier. Within the boundaries of this blog, exceptional wine.
