I haven’t done this for a long time. Back when I had mostly tapes, I used to stack them all up and then go through them from the top to the bottom, listening to everything once. I decided to do it with my CDs. Today’s, so far, have been-

NME- Album of the year 2001, James Robert Morrison- J.R., Pixies- Bossanova, White Stripes- White Blood Cells, Stone Roses- Stone Roses, Less Than Jake- Borders and Boundaries, Ten Benson- Hiss

Eventually the downpour stopped being quite so torrential and the ground drainage managed to overtake the flow.
