    JSH>that would be 12 cds you listened to in 1 day, and by my calendar that day was a Friday. So 12 cds (at an estimated 1 hour on average for each cd) means you spent 1/2 your day listening to music. So, either you work in a really cool place, you had the day off, or you are unemployed. I wish I could spend my days like that...

    Tarmac>The SPICEGIRLS???? No comment...

    Jim>kd lang is tres cool.

    Me, I haven't listened to anything yet today...maybe some Elvis Costello tonight when I get home. Or U2. Or The B-52's. Or the Evita soundtrack...

    ... yes, Ms. lang is cool... I think "All You Can Eat" was her worst effort EVER. That album sucks.
By Tarmac on Saturday, March 21, 1998 - 12:40 am:

    I rarely listen to an entire CD. I usually have 1-4 songs off an album that I will listen to most often. It is not always the "radio" songs that I listen to off the album. For example, I hate the song "Loser" of Becks Mellow Gold Album but I love most of the other songs. That is one album that I can listen to the entire thing.

    I have several best of Albums and in most cases I will listen to the entire album. Two examples are Tom Petty- Greatest Hits and The Cars- Cars Greatest Hits. I can listen to those entire albums.

    I have spoken of my taste for 80's music in previous entries. It is really funny, whenever I play "Wishing(If I had a Photograph of You)" from the Best of A Flock of Seagulls album my son Russell breaks out in dance. It is like something triggers him. He dances to other songs too but it is weird how every time he heres that song he begins to dance. He is only 16 months old.

    since no ones said anything on here since 1998 and it now being the year 2003... i figure its time for someone to break the silence

By dave. on Saturday, October 25, 2003 - 04:39 pm:

    i think that might be one of my very first posts up there.

    today I downloaded the hard to find South Park Christmas album.

    The centrepiece is "dead dead dead", which i urge everyone to download. amazing amazing song.


    I also listened to Mogwai "Happy Songs for Happy People", as I tried to get myself to sleep. I'm home sick with some throat infection or something, and the atmospheric instremental shit is choice for that sort of endevour.

    At lunchtime today I listened to the new Strokes CD, "Room on Fire", which doesnt come out until Tuesday but I picked up from a rogue indie store on Thursday. Its good, quite good, but its more of the same of the first album. no progress, nothing. the Strokes are going to end up like Oasis if they're not careful...
