CDs - remember those?

My iPod broke awhile back, and I've managed so far to scrape by borrowing my sister's and dad's iPods whenever I "need" it. Recently though, I've rediscovered this old fashioned thing called the CD. Usually on an iPod we listen to songs more randomly - that is, not neccesarily album by album. But there's something about listening to a whole album all the way through that is just so satisfactory. Now I'll keep a disc in my car player until it's run all the way through the track listing, then switch out to another CD. Albums that I've been listening to in the past few weeks:

Nothing is Sound (Switchfoot)
The Very Best of James Taylor
Winter into Spring (George Winston)
Pavarotti in Concert
Simon & Garfunkel's Greatest Hits
No Name Face (Lifehouse)
Windows of Heaven (John Elefante)

Just tonight I borrowed a few more albums from family friends that I look forward to putting through the car stereo over the next couple weeks:

Echoes of London (John Williams)
Grace Like Rain (Christopher Parkening)
Guitar Concertos (Giuliani, Torroba, and Vivaldi)
Happy Anniversary, Charlie Brown

I'm planning on playing that last one, Charlie Brown, tomorrow morning on the way to Mt. Boney. Cheerful music for a cheerful morning. :)
