(Past) Half-Time Report

It's been a while since I did an update on my CD-listening project, so here's the latest. Since February, I've listened to 180 of the 341 CDs on my list. It's actually going quite a bit faster than I thought.

Recently, I've gotten to dip into some of my all-time favorite albums—"Rumours," "Tapestry," "Under Rug Swept," "Listen Without Prejudice" and "Abbey Road." Each of those albums, and dozens of others in my collection, have inspired and comforted me. One listen isn't enough, so I think I will take some time to go back through this portion of my collection and re-listen to a few total standouts (including sadly overlooked gems like Everclear's "So Much for the Afterglow") once I get to the end of the first of my two CD shelves.

Here's what I've been listening to lately. Coming up, I've got No Doubt, Green Day, Weezer, The Corrs, John Mayer and so much more happiness. I can't wait.
