... and the time, though talent being more important... I'd aspire to be able to arrange music for instruments I could play or get to play together.  Of course, if I had the talent and the time, I'd also be able to play more instruments.

Anyway, I stumbled upon this site which has excerpts that I've been listening to this afternoon: http://www.monalisasound.com/ProductsWorking.html - Apparently arrangements by/for the Hampton Rock String Quartet.  Make sure you listen to a non-midi preview of their arrangements (denoted by the play button as "hsq" and not "synth").  Fun fun.  Too bad I don't have the $30 a pop to get the music for each song, but nice to know these exist.

... if you attend a live concert and think the band's instruments look abnormally large.

 :-D

On a side note, heard the band Metro Station (for the first time, and live) at a concert hosted by an alternative radio station, and I have to say that they're *fantabulous*.  Their style is "Electronica, Powerpop, Pop" -- reminded me of the good part of the 80's, Blink 182, Weezer, and the Yeah Yeah Yeahs, and they got people dancing.  The demos they have on-line don't do them justice.  Keep an eye out for them, and catch 'em live if you get a chance!
