Am I mad?

Just updated my most recent entry with the music: Famous Organ Works vol 2 by J.S. Bach. While my music tends to be prog-rock and Anime soundtracks I go for classical while marking. I start out with my Brandeberg Concertos CD (only 1,2,3, 5 - must get a full set sometime) and when i've replayed that about ten times I go on to this one. It starts out with the famous Toccata and Fugue in D Minor - made famous in many horror movies as the classic piece for the madman (probably comes from vincent Price and Dr Phibes? but maybe it predates that). Does this make me crazy (well, I knew that - hey I've been in therapy so I must be crazy) or do I choose it because I know the marking will send me nuts?

No, no, no. If you were mad, you'd be listening to the Toy Dolls' fine air-guitar-worthy version of it!

No, no crazier than I am. :)

My at-work iTunes collection is mainly stuff like Clapton, Sting, and other classic rock, with a healthy dose on Flanders & Swann thrown in for good measure.

While I'm marking though, I switch to classical stuff too - although that tends to mean soundtracks such as Gladiator and LotR (Star Wars is too emotional to use while marking).
