The attempt to listen to all of my CDs. I actually gave up on that. :)
Ted Nugent: Double Live Gonzo!
How’s that for a change of pace around here? A post about the “Motor City Madman” by the only German that doesn’t have a driver’s license?
As is always the case around here, the memory tag is securely attached to this double-LP, which I invested a whole summer’s earnings into.

Trio Pim Jacobs: “Come Fly With Me”
I had never heard of Pim Jacobs when, unsuspecting, I accidentally hit one of those sites that discuss more obscure music releases or reissues and, although I can’t quite recall, the album was even offered for download.

The Millennium Project
Yes, I have lots of CDs. Although I have to admit that I once got rid of enough CDs which could easily have been a complete collection for anyone else, I still have enough CDs to last me a lifetime. With all the talk recently about the demise of the CD altogether, I’m also quite [...]
