This is how 2015 started in Belle Harbor, NY (home, where I am currently not)

Here is a recording of the first few minutes of 2015, as captured from my second story window in Belle Harbor, NY, using a pair of $20 Behringer XM8500 dynamic microphones on a stereo bar, not typically the kind of mics one would use for field recording. These microphones are part of my 24-hour Belle Harbor outside stream, which you can hear by going to http://borris.me/outside2.m3u. Sorry about the wind.
