The Great CD Re-Organization
Tonight, on a complete whim, I decided to attend to my sorely neglected CD collection. Over the past year, I've moved twice. Since I had a baby the past couple of moves, details like my CDs have fallen to the wayside. Back in the day, my CDs would be alphabetized and separated by genre. Considering that I have something like 500 CDs, this is a pretty monstrous obsession. But now, cases sit empty, CDs lie around collecting dust without their cases, some cases hold two or three CDs. It's a mess.
I started out basic tonight, just going through all of the cases that I have in this room and seeing which ones held the right CD, an additional CD, or were empty. It went pretty well, but I'm still sitting here with a pile of empty cases. They are:
-Tom Waits “Closing Time.” This is particularly concerning since I just listened to this the other day. now I can't find it. I swear to god, my house just eats things.
-OST “Singles.” Also particularly concerning since I inherited this CD from Frank and it is one of my favorite albums ever.
-Vince Guaraldi “A Charlie Brown Christmas.” I'm not sure what happened there. There's a copy of this in my room and I believe it's my mom's. I don't know where this CD could have disappeared to.
-Bob Dylan “Greatest Hits.” I have no idea.
-The Doors “Waiting for the Sun.” I don't know where this could have gone, especially since I haven't listened to the Doors in about 7 years.
-Nick Drake “Bryter Layter” and “Way to Blue.” I'm really hoping these are at my dad's house. These are excellent summer albums.
-Godspeed You Black Emperor (I don't know where the ! goes.) “Lift Yr. Skinny Fists Like Antennas to Heaven!” Disc 1. I have no idea.
-Ben Folds Five “Whatever and Ever Amen.” This seems to really have disappeared into thin air. I dled it a couple of months ago because I was in my yearly winter Ben Folds funk and needed it. I'd like to have the CD back, though.
-Nina Simone “The Best of.” I don't know.
-Al Green “Greatest Hits.” Essential baby-makin' music. Not that I'm trying to make anymore babies anytime soon…but…you know…
-Weezer “Pinkerton.” Eeeek!
Crap. I just remembered that I have laundry downstairs.
*Don't do it, just go to bed.*
*Stop it, Satan.*
groan.
