An Account Of My Listening For One Week

Near the start of the course, I was required to keep a record of all music I've heard in one week. My record runs from 27th October - 2nd November 2012. I have tried to be as detailed as possible, using full names of works where known.

The yellow text shows the situation where I was listening to music, and in brackets I have noted the medium, such as spotify, radio, CD, and so on.

In addition to the works listed here, I also heard lots of snippets of music on phone ringtones, TV and radio advertising jingles and other such situations. It's not until I got it all down on paper that I realised how much music I actually listen to, and on how many different mediums.
