ripping

despite my mum's perfectly valid comment that they have indian music in india, what better way to spend several of my last few days in england than in the tedium of ripping my entire cd collection. again. oh well, only a couple of miles of cd cases to go. having to resist the nagging voice asking if i really need 7 Yo La Tengo CDs. yes, in fact i do.

anyway, why am i telling you this? firstly, there is no "you" and its therefore better to talk to myself over the internet than out loud (conversations take longer this way too). secondly, if i turn round i have to face the prospect of packing a flat's worth of stuff into a bedroom with cupboards that are already bulging. so, here we are... its also healthy to realise just how much music i buy and never get round to listening to properly. i'm actually looking forward to hearing lots of it.
