Radio for fantasy-obsessed sisters-in-law...

Radio Rivendell, coming at you live from Imladris...

and, actually, as background music at work, it's not that bad... think about it. Film and game music is designed to evoke mood while remaining in the background, and fantasy film music in particular is designed to hang in the "ambient" frame while trying to widen the mind, as it's focused on reinforcing one's suspension of disbelief... inherently more difficult watching some dude in funny pants who's named "Willow," than when watching, say, Schindler's List.

Some of it, such as the piece playing now, is of course, execrable. On the other hand, directly preceding it was a lovely variation on Chopin's Funeral March... not bad for office-schlubbing...
