I have re-fallen in love with the Khachaturian piano concerto. I highly recommend that anyone who hasn't heard it go out and buy a recording. It fits one's hands amazingly naturally, and the 2nd movement is perhaps the most gorgeous piece of music ever written. I want to try playing it for the Berkeley concerto competition next fall

I've been also lately getting quite interested in things like holographic theories of QCD,

Yessshh... come over to the dark side of AdS/QCD... heh. :) I'm with you on this one, actually. Hence my possibly moving up to Seattle to work with Matt Strassler.
