I also have a one-disc changer, and there’s nothing in it right now.

Pretty Hate Machine is one of the best albums ever! I also have stuff in my changer that requires minimal manual attention. They are KORN-_Follow the Leader_ KORN-_issues_ R.A.T.M.-_bulls on parade_ MTV _amp_ Chant II The cool thing is, that I have had the amp CD for like 3 years and it has Rockefeller Skank _and_ Battleflag. These songs are exceedingly popular right now, and they are OLD. \ I guess I am ahead of my time… 😉 * * * “And on the eighth day, God Created beer to prevent the Irish from taking over the Earth.” _~SNOOGANS~_ ---

Listened to on the bus home: Tom Waits, _Mule Variations_ In the 6-CD changer across the room: basically the complete They Might Be Giants (_Then_ to _Severe Tire Damage_. Don’t get to listen to that a whole lot (mostly get to play music when the kid’s sleeping, which means headphones from the computer). In the CD-ROM player on this here very computer: Shannon Worrell, _Three Wishes_ (probably the most obscure thing I own, but it was there yesterday, so I don’t think it means I’m trying to one-up anyone – and, besides, it’s got some great tunes) * * * …but when you get blue, and you’ve lost all your dreams, there’s nothing like a campfire and a can of beans! ---

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. > \*\* Oh, yeah, well :p, to you. I had some young bitch (well, I shouldn’t call her that, I really do like her a lot) at work say to me the other day, “you have _records_, honest to goodness, real records? Wow, I think my Mom has some of those.” It took every ounce of energy in my body not to smack her. * * * Princess of the Time and Space Continuum since 1969 (upgraded to Goddess 01/07/00) OK, we have enough youth.
