I watched the entire Pulse DVD today. Brought back fond memories of that tour. Still one of the top concerts I have seen

Man! You are lucky!

I am listening to Hawksley Workman's The Delicious Wolves.

Love that Hawksley Workman album! My favorite track is "Your Beauty Must Be Rubbing Off." He's got a new one coming out soon.

Louis Prima & Keely Smith - Live From Las Vegas

I figured I needed to get this live album of them. I love both of their voices. I've only listened to a few tracks, but it's good so far.

I also can't get enough of Hello Saferide. I like Annika Norlin's vocals a lot, and there's not one song on either the album or the EP that I want to skip. I like every song. One that I love repeating is "Leaving You Behind" on the EP, which is actually a soul song.

The three Electric Light Orchestra albums came, too, so I'll have to make time for them.

There's too much music out there to enjoy.

Okay, so now I know where Incredibad/The Lonely Island got some of their music for their song, "The Heist", that being "Tightrope" on ELO's A New World Record. Good to know.

Charles, it seems like you've been on a music spending spree. I hope some of the choices/chances are turning out to be good.

Yeah, enough of them are turning out well enough that I don't feel too bad about the avalanche of dough leaving my account. My CD shelving I had became inadequate, however, but thankfully my mother wanted to get rid of some of her shelving at the same time. Now my music has breathing room again, but it's funny to see so much media shelving in one room. The music is staring across the room at the movies, while the video games and *cough* VHS smirk from the sideline. There are also some books on another shelf, but they don't even care about the other media.

LOL! Yeah, I'm in desperate need of more shelving. I've got a couple of small cd stacks forming on the ground. What I really need to do is buy some binders and ditch the jewel cases, but I'd lose the ability to scan the shelves to see what I'm in the mood for.

Binders are a good idea, but yeah, I think I'd rather stick with the much less efficient use of space. When I one day have a dedicated theater room, I'd love for the media shelving to be part of the room, but if I'm going to have so much, I don't know how well it will integrate.

You need a Squeezebox. Take a year off work and rip everything to flac format and then just store the CD jewel cases away somewhere.

I personally not one to read the inside writings and artwork more than once anyways.

The only CD case I leave lying around is Tool's 10,000 Days because everybody likes looking at the freaky pictures with the 3-d glasses built into the cover.
