A fellow Kiss freak in these high-brow halls? Fantastic. I don’t have any bootlegs myself, just those early Wicked Lester demos. And some _Destroyer_ demos. Those are cool. I swear Paul sang “Do You Love Me” better on the demo than on the record.

When I’m going to be driving for a long time, I just throw my big 208-disc case into my car, so that’s a lot to list.  
When I’m walking around, I use my Zen MP3 player, and it’s usually on shuffle mode for those 200ish CDs.

But, I can tell you that currently sitting in my alarm clock is **Evanescence “Fallen”**. In my car is **Ryan Adams “Rock N Roll”**. In my computer is **Mazzy Star “So Tonight That I Might See”**. And I just this past weekend bought **Beth Orton “Trailer Park”**. I’m trying to get more female artists now than I had been in the past.
