Last CD I had in was **Kronos Quartet** : Released 1985-1995 To the OP, **Ali Farke Toure** , yeah! Great stuff! Just been listening to some of his albums (but I put them into mp3 format so not technically on CD). ---

Hmmm, I really want to say Shoenberg’s Pierrot Lunaire, Edith Frost’s Calling Over Time, or The Loose Dogs’ Debut, but really it’s Bowie’s Heathen. God, I feel so mainstream. I think I need to take a shower. ---

I don’t have a cd player **or** a tape player in my car. Driving is “radio time” so I can listen to what’s new. This mentality might have something to do with the fact that radio signals come in poorly in the house, though… On the other hand, I have a 25 disk changer in the house. And I recently restocked it, which is something I only do every couple of months since I’m lazy. So here’s the complete list of what’s in it 🙂 1. Better Than Ezra- Friction, Baby 2. Nickleback - The State 3. Poe- Haunted 4. Poe- Hello 5. Marry Me Jane - Tick 6. Jeremiah Freed - Jeremiah Freed (a southern ME band) 7. 6Gig- Tincan Experiment (another southern ME band) 8. Guster- Goldfly 9. Everclear- Sparkle and Fade 10. Sponge- Wax Estatic 11. Hoobastank- Hoobastank 12. Stone Temple Pilots- Shangri La Dee Da 13. Self- Breakfast With Girls 14. Liz Phair- Whitechocolatespaceegg 15. Dishwalla - Pet your friends 16. I Still Know What You Did Last Summer soundtrack 17. Colapsis - Dirty Wake 18. Stir- Holly Dogs 19. Crushworthy- It’s All About Me (NH seacoast band, fronted by a former college classmate) 20. Splender- Halfway Down The Sky 21. Toad the Wet Sprocket- Dulcinea (their best, IMO) 22. Our Lady Peace- Naveed 23.Jimmy Eat World- Jimmy Eat World 23. Oleander- February Son 24. Local H- As Good As Dead The portable cd player has a cd I made labeled “Summer 2001” which has a lot of songs on it by a lot of groups no one remembers anymore 🙂 And Puddle of Mudd. **Badandi** , I love Jump Little Children’s song “Cathedrals” but I haven’t heard any of their other songs. Is that song represensitive of their “sound”? If so, I might have to track down a cd by them. ---

Maybe I should dig out the Fugazi again. \*\* I don’t see anything pretentious about liking serious music. Nothing to apologize for. The stuff I’ve been listening to lately (that I have stacked up next to my CD player and haven’t put away yet) includes: _Pictures At An Exhibition_ and _A Night On Bald Moutain_ by Musorgsky _Blue Bird, The Sampler_ including numbers from Shorty Rogers, Art Blakey’s Jazz Messengers, Paul Desmond, The Benny Goodman Quartet (_Runin’ Wild_), Johnny Hodges and Duke Ellington Concerto in E Minor by Mendelssohn (with violinist Jadja Salerno-Sonnenberg) Marches of John Philip Sousa _The King James Version_ with Harry James and his big band. Five piano sonatas by Muzio Clementi played by eleven-year-old Albert Wong, who is already a musician mature well beyond his years, and who I predict will be a great artist. My collection includes a lot more classical, a lot more jazz, and the band organ from the carousel at Griffith Park in Los Angeles. (Actually, that’s on a cassette.) * * * Geezer ---

Right now, in my computer at work, it is The Lord of The Rings Soundtrack and before that it was a cd full of mp3s of Depeche Mode, The Sisters of Mercy and a bunch of other stuff (Don´t worry it is all non-downloaded from CDs I own :)).
