Spring Break Shenanigans

So what is it about breaks that make you do silly things you wouldn't bother doing otherwise?

Case in point: D & D monster tournaments over Thanksgiving back in junior high (watch out for the werebear!).....Or questionable road trips to Texas or Florida.....Or....

Going through a spindle of burned discs to see what's buried there?! I think it had to have been junior high the last time I consciously tried to listen to everything I owned straight through. Nothing so silly here, but I'm still working my way through a lot of goodies. Here's what I've stumbled across on a random spindle in the past four days or so:

BLACK BOX: Dreamland
EVERYTHING BUT THE GIRL: Like the Deserts Miss the Rain
MILES DAVIS: Kind of Blue
MILES DAVIS: Birth of the Cool
MILES DAVIS: Sketches of Spain
KEANE: Hopes and Fears
GARY NUMAN: Exile
V/A: Maloney Wants a Drink (St. Paddy's mix!)
JOHN LENNON & YOKO ONO: Double Fantasy
ALEJANDRO ESCOVEDO: Thirteen Years
SHAKIRA: Fijacacion Oral

Hmmmm--that was a bit of a Miles kick I was on yesterday....Now where's ON THE CORNER when you need it?!

i can comment on many of your spring break shenanigans, but i'll preserve your reputation. :)

mark bought one of those systems that allow you create digital files from cassette tapes. it's been awesome b/c i now have several of your mixes on my iPod. remember neenah cherry? i'm loving listening to the stone roses again, the beautiful south, xymox-- the wonderstuff.

somehow i don't have a hard time imagining you sitting down to listen to your entire collection, but how will you fit it in to watching the ncaas?

sorry to say i have AZ losing in the first round to WVA, but if you make it through to dook, more power to you!

i'm hoping my heels won't have to play the badgers, but i've now officially lived in NC longer than i did WI, so i have every right to cheer the heels all the way to the championship (again!).

hope all is well with you!
