Home, car, Walkman, computer....we've all got CD's playing somewhere.
I want a running commentary on what you're listening to. Tell me why I should be listening to it too.
I have a five disc changer in the family room, a portable in the bedroom, one in the car, and one in the computer. At any given time there's a disc or two in each one.
Currently in the car we've got the soundtrack to Rushmore. I got it for Dave for Christmas and he's been listening to it non-stop since. It's such a happy, larkish type of music. I don't know why it took me this long to get it for him. One of those things where you just forget about it for a long time I guess.
In my family room I've got two Rosemary Clooney CDs...16 greatest hits and Jazz singer. I got on a Clooney kick a couple of months ago after I heard her on Fresh Air or something. She has such a gorgeous voice. I can listen to "Hey There" over and over and not get sick of it. I've also got the complete Ella Fitzgerald in heavy rotation right now. I'm in a mood I guess. A few weeks ago it was The Strokes, Oasis, and Harvey Danger. Go figure.
My daughters both have walkmans on half the time. They like the bubblegum pop like Britney, Christina, Justin, etc. I'm glad they use the headphones because I'd get sick of that stuff in a hurry.
I listen to his moodier works, like Heathen, when I'm writing. I've also been jammin' to Diamond Dogs, and last night, I put Low on the vinyl player (roommate's copy - would steal if I knew she wasn't Queen of the Litigious).
Also, been listening to a mix whipped up by my girlfriend in California... songs for long-distance couples and whatnot. Includes Coldplay, Incubus, Bif Naked, Stuart Davis (on my insistence), Mazzy Starr, and Joni Mitchell (actually, the original mix contains a Tori Amos cover of a Joni Mitchell song, but I switched to the original and best).
Finally, found an old Mix CD of mine that really encapsulates my tastes, including the Buffy theme, Black '47, Dan Bern, Elvis Costello, Joy Division, Anthony Stewart Had, Dispatch, Ben Folds Five, Oingo Boing, Cibo Matto, David Bowie, and finishes with Eric Clapton - Leila.

Ragen, my husband got me Dirty Little Thoughts for Christmas and I love it. I had heard "Little Black Backpack" a long time ago and forgot all about it.
Dave picked it up in a used store thinking it was "The Strokes" and when I saw that song on there I told him he did good without even knowing it. Since then I've been listening to the whole album and it's good!
I'm also a big lover of Matchbox 20. I love Mad Season...the whole album...favorite song is Last Beautiful Girl. I still have to pick up More Than You Think...it's on my list of discs to buy!

I've had the Stroke 9 disc for about 4 years now. I also have Rip it Off, but don't listen to it as much.
More Than You Think...is an awesome cd...you should pick it up soon
The only CD player I really ever use for listening to music is my car deck. If I'm listening to music inside, I just use Winamp, and play my mp3's through my surround system. Anyway,
Car Deck: Burned copy of 36 Crazyfists - A Snow Capped Romance/Story of the Year - Page Avenue
Queued in Winamp currently: The Lord of the Rings - The Return of the King soundtrack
