Only one week of summer left. I went down to the basement to rummage through my CD's. I have a lot of CD's. CD's and books, that's what I buy. I actually have more than I can listen to and every now and then I feel guilty about neglecting old CD's so I head down to the basement with an armload of ones I've been listening to for a while and bring up a new armload. This is what I do during the summer months. Here's the ones I dredged up today...

Awww yea...."Don't gimme no lines, and keep your hands to yourself!"

Some good ones there...a little perplexed though at the last one? How did that get there - seems out of place.

Don't know how that got in there Bret. :)

That whole album is good from top to bottom Bob. Loved that video back in the 80s. I also loved the Satellites lack of dental work. It spoke authenticity to me! Genuine southern trailer park.

Great musical taste...spent a few hours listening to the Replacements today myself. Looks like you covered the spectrum of their career with those albums. And Trace was Son Volt's only good album, in my opinion.I always liked "Windfall." I bet you're a Wilco fan too maybe?

I go back and forth on Wilco John. Love the Being There album,

I think it's stood the test of time Collin.
