Eavesdropping What Harvard's Playing

David A. Wax '05 says:

I only brought a couple of CDs with me to Chile over last semester, and

one of them was Wilco's new album A Ghost is Born, which I came to

love, although with a less enthusiastic passion than Yankee Hotel

Foxtrot. My Chilean host family listened to a radio station that cycled

classic Beatle tunes, Phil Spector doo-wops, Mexican rancheros and Frank

Sinatra standards. My Chilean grandmother got tickled pink whenever she

heard Frank croon "The Impossible Dream" and begged me to learn it on

guitar. Luckily, a friend back in the States sent me Nick Drake's Pink

Moon. While abroad, I desperately missed Neutral Milk Hotel's In the

Aeroplane Over the Sea and Bob Dylan's Love and Theft. The most

beautiful song I heard while in Chile was Victor Jara's "Te Recuerdo

Amanda."
