**fizgig** , if you like Ben Kweller, it’s be well worth the effort of trying to track hown a cd from his old group Radish, that he fronted back when he was 15 or 16. The cd is called **Restraining Bolt** and it looks like it will be sort of hard to find, since CDnow doesn’t carry it- fortunately I bought it back when it was first released. It’s a fantasic cd, especially the first song " little pink stars" and the last one “bedtime.”

Thanks **elfkin** I have some Radish MP3’s but I’ll keep an eye out for the disc.

I just got a friend of mine turned on to this stuff ( **The Oranges Band, Spoon** ), so there’s my excuse to buy it. 😃

Well my [CD player](http://electronicsemall.com/soncd400dism.html) holds 400 discs so it pretty much has our entire collection in it.

The latest thing I was listening too, though, was 52nd Street by Billy Joel.
