Lowell George - _Thanks, I’ll Eat It Here_ ## And on that note - I happen to think this is the most amazing CD in my (admittedly small) collection. Liked it so much I ordered another Lowell George CD (can’t remember the name now) and it SUCKED. Anyone familiar with _Thanks, I’ll Eat It Here_, do you have a recommendation for other good Lowell George stuff? **StoryTyler** “Not everybody does it, but everybody should.” [I Spy Ty.](http://sites.netscape.net/storytyler/homepage) ---

I made the mistake of giving my five disk changer to my mom before I learned that my DVD won’t play CD-R media but I had in it: K.D. Lang _Ingenue_ Alan Parsons Project _Tales of Mystery and Imagination_ disk 1 of the Bob Wills and the Texas Playboys box set Joe Jackson _Laughter and Lust_ Disk 2 of the Steely Dan box set. With Stevie Ray Vaughan _Texas Flood_ in the truck and Electric Light Orchestra _On the Third Day_ in my Discman. * * * Come let us go, I’ve a cask of amontillado. ---

I refuse to buy a CD player. They pulled that crap on me with cassette tapes. By the time I had my record collection recreated in cassette form (plus got all the new stuff I needed), they came out with CD’s. So, I just KNOW that if I buy a CD player and replace the 100’s of tapes I own - they’ll just up and change to something else. However, the last thing in my tape player was either Pink Floyd - Dark Side of the Moon or Led Zeppelin IV (I can’t remember which). ---

Hooverphonic, “Blue Wonder Power Milk” ## Been in kind of a mellow mood lately. Everybody look at me! I have excellent taste in music! “It says, I choo-choo-choose you.

Let’s see…I have a rather varied CD collection, so these change often. Right now we have: In the stereo at home: Tori Amos, “Little Earthquakes” Blues Traveler, “Four” Dave Matthews Band, “Listener Supported,” disc 1 In the car: The Cure, “Wish” Great Big Sea, “Rant & Roar” Sheryl Crow, “The Globe Sessions” Santana, “Supernatural” Ricky Martin, “Ricky Martin” Third Eye Blind, “Third Eye Blind” * * * “You are sweet, kind, and considerate… Like a grown up boy scout with tits!” - Brian, aka SDMB’s one and only Satan. ---

BTW, Just needed to mention this, I am extraordinarily lazy. The 5 CD’s in right now are what I consider “perfect” CD’s, they require no flipping or skipping songs. I love the whole thing. Of my entire collection there are probably only 20 or so of these and they are the ones usually laying on top of the entertainment center rather than filed. * * * If your head is wax, don’t walk in the sun. -Benjamin Franklin ---

Luscious Jackson - Fever In, Fever Out I’ve got well over 300 CD’s but I’ve been listening to this CD somewhat disproportionately over the last few weeks. This CD and Cibo Mato’s ‘Stereo Type-A’ together have probably accounted for half of my CD listening selection recently. ---

Wow, what a trip. I have “In My Tribe” in the tape deck(haven’t bought the cd yet). This album is one of my top ten. I got a promo 33" disc with four songs on it before the album even came out, so I claim them as MY group(even though they had stuff out way before this 😉 * * * “It is now proved beyond doubt that smoking is one of the leading causes of statistics.” ---

Flypsyde: I’ve only got about 170 maybe 180 in mine. Best toy ever invented - hit ‘random’ and run. You never know what it’s going to come up with next. Minxsmon: > [@](#): > > I refuse to buy a CD player. Piff. Get used to it. One or the other of MP3 or minidiscs are next, after that - who knows? Point is, each new tech: sounds better/is more convienient/tastes better/is less filling/whatever … than the last, you do your best to keep up. For the record, I still own a couple hundred vinyl LPs and an awesome collection of cassettes. And I still own the hardware to play all of them on, can listen to them anytime I want - so there. CanadianSue: Enya. Some of the best music ever written. Any of it, all of it - I love Enya. Thanks, there’s some of her stuff in the changer, I might go try to find it. Anyway, the CD in the doomahickie currently set to go is disk 1 of 2 of Evita by the original London cast (and it won’t be on random play). If you suffered through the movie, my apologies - try a version featuring people who can actually do live theatre. The story is more or less the same, the presentation makes all the difference in the world. Even without any visuals, ahhhhhhh … ---

Having a paltry one-cd player, at the moment it’s Olodum-The Best of Olodum…of course, I don’t understand a word. Just before that, the finest album ever made The Stone Roses-The Stone Roses. I’m thinking of getting a 500 disc changer…so there.
