It's About Sharing

Like many people, I can get pretty obsessive about music, with one artist dominating my interest during any period of time. This has been true throughout my life, whether it was the Doors in winter of 87, Public Enemy in spring of 92, Jayhawks in 99, Phish for a couple years in there, or Neko Case more recently.

But during all of my musical obsessions, I continue to wade through my CD collection (which isn't very large compared to some people I know...) and sample my wares. It's mine, I love it, and I enjoy the art of choosing three or four CD's and playing them on shuffle.

Which is what "Current Musical Endeavors," located on the right side bar, represents. While I haven't been updating it nearly as often as I would like, it contains brief reviews of albums that pass in and out of my CD player--some old, some new, some good, and some bad (tho not many--they are in my CD collection after all). You'll also find links to intersting websites, other blogs I read sometimes, polls, and my site counters (mainly because I'm curious).

So take a glance over there from time to time. What's in your CD player right now?

ha...how entertaining i see the comments about wilco on there today of all days...jim and i recently saw them for the first time a few weeks ago...he had never really heard of or listened to them (imagine that) but was BLOWN away by their performance and asked me to put a "best of" on his nano (couldn't fit all their albums on there with everything else)...so i just put it together this morning!

i've got frank black, supergrass, sterephonics and marjorie fair in my mix today :)
