+### Additional listening
+If you'd like to listen to work that rewards the kind of listening that we're spending time with in CIN1101 together, I have a few recommendations. These are explicitly higer-brow, selections from the 70s and recently, which reflects mostly my taste. (I have not done Cavell's critic's work of making my musical taste general; you've just got my particular taste.)
