We still have a long way to go...

Getting Closer...

I'm at the point now where most of the CDs left to listen to are the ones I have been avoiding for one reason or another. Luckily, I do have some pretty good mixes to break up the monotony.

97) Fleetwood Mac - "The Dance": One of I think two live albums that I own.
98) World of Music - An Introduction to the Music of the World's People (4 CDs): Leftover from a World Music class. Still glad I kept them.
99) Duran Duran - "Greatest"
100) Def Leppard - "Hysteria": ROCK N' ROLL!
101) DJ Q-Burns Abstract Message - "Round 1: Rawkus vs. Astralwerks": A Powerade promo CD that I got for free. Told you I was scraping the bottom of the barrel. Except that this is actually pretty badass.
102) Röyksopp - "Melody A.M.": I have Junior Senior from Denmark, so why not Röyksopp from Norway? You may recognize these guys from this commercial.
103) Alien Ant Farm - "ANThology": Utterly regrettable and ultimately forgettable.
104) The Wallflowers - "Bringing Down the Horse": Actually my mom's album. I've been "borrowing" it for six years now.
105) Big Country - "The Best of Big Country": An 80s band that should be more popular than they are. They'll feature on a SotD soon enough.
106) Mix CD (Winter 2008)
107) Mix CD (Spring 2007)
108) Adam Sandler - "What the Hell Happened to Me?" - No Comment.
109) Adam Sandler - "What's Your Name?" - No Comment.

Anyone want some Adam Sandler CDs?

Catching up on the CD-A-Thon

Here's what I've revisited over the past month or so. It's a lot.

96) Junior Senior - "D-D-Don't Don't Stop the Beat"

Phew. Looks like number 100 is coming up this weekend! Hopefully it's not the old CD I kept from that World Music course or the Charlie Brown Christmas CD I stupidly didn't listen to last month.

By The Way...

I'm taking a little holiday break. If you hadn't surmised that already. I'll be back soon. Here's a SotD to hold you over:

The Cranberries - "I Just Shot John Lennon"
