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."
