What’s in Your CD Wallet?

2-18-09 What’s in Your CD Wallet?

I have several CD wallets – the car I got last November has a CD player in it. Today, I am bringing a 2^nd CD wallet into my car. It contains:

IRMIN SCHMIDT & KUMO – Axolotl Eyes

DR. STRANGELY STRANGE – Kip of the Serenes (re-master)

LINDISFARNE / ALAN HULL – self-made compilation

PAUL McCARTNEY – self-made compilation (songs I like, from ’70 forward)

SONNY CLARK – Leapin’ and Lopin’ (re-master

HUGH HOPPER – Hoppertunity Box ( + some cuts from “Monster Band”)

“F” – a full disc of artists beginning with “F”

“H” – a full disc of artists beginning with “H”

GONTITI – two whole albums on CD, noted as ’88 & ‘90

LIO – self-made compilation (1^st album etc.)

V.A. – “Cole Porter” and “Muddy Waters” (made from various artist CD’s)

SPLIT ENZ – self-made compilation (Phil Judd material)

V.A. – “2/09, mostly Japanese pressed CD’s”

V.A. – “SHM-CD Samplers” (made from 2 diff. sampler CD’s)

THUNDERCLAP NEWMAN – A Hollywood Dream (re-master)

L’AFFAIRE LOUIS’ TRIO – self-made compilation (2^nd album + singles)

SERGE GAINSBOURG – self-made compilation (60’s material)

This is what I will be listening to over the next few weeks in my car. This is in addition to another (full) CD wallet that already resides in Mr. Suzuki.

So, what’s in your CD wallet? Or have you moved beyond taking a CD wallet into your car? (I should go out to my car and get the other wallet, to see what I’ve been playing over the last few weeks, eh?)

WATERMELON – In Person

PETER GABRIEL – I & II (only 1 song is missing, to make the 2 CD’s fit on 1 disc)
