I decided tonight that I would pick the music I listen to at random - this involved sitting in front of my CD racks, closing my eyes, counting down from 25, and whatever CD case I landed on, I played - not looking at the CD until I had taken it out of it's case, putting it in my CD player, and hitting "play"

This is being done to force me to make sure I lisen to things I might not normally pull off the racks to listen to. If I'm going to brag about having an assload of records, shouldn't I be listening to them all?

So far, I've played:

Hazel - Ariana
Soul Coughing - Ruby Vroom
Faces - Ooh La La
Tom Waits - Frank's Wild Years
Stetsasonic - In Full Gear
Free Verse - s/t EP

I would recommend any of you with large music collections to try this sometime. Either you'll find yourself revisiting an old friend, or enjoying a newer one.

But that's just me.

well, you ended up with a pretty good selection that way.
That IS a good idea. I think I will try it, even though I wouldn't
say I have a really large collection. But, I definitely have
plenty that I tend to skip over.

Good on ya! :D

i've done that before...but sometimes i'd pull out a cd i really didn't want to listen to at the time...for mood reasons (or maybe it was a cd i didn't care for too much and have since sold...)

also, Franks Wild Years is one that definately deserves to be listened to often...
