I'm impressed by how much background music (e.g. at Whole Foods, ABP) you were able to identify! Did you use some sort of application on an iPhone or Blackberry, or did you just recognize the music?

You have quite a mix of music about you. Even your roommates provide highly contrasting sounds simultaneously.

How much music do you think there is that you missed? There are so many sounds around us that, even when digging through them for an exercise like this, we must miss.

Jaime-
So much of the music you heard was chosen by someone else. I hope liked what you were hearing!

Nice work,
Ben
