I have been CD tagged

Bnakedlady has "CD tagged" me. This is presumably
because she was book tagged, but i am illiterate. So
its been modified to be about CDs instead of books.
What fun.

1. Total number of cds you've owned: In my heyday i
was somewhere between 2000-3000. Over the years from
moving and selling cds, im down to about 1700 as near
as i can tell. The main collection covers two shelving
units in my main living area and houses a little over
1000 cds. My bookshelf houses my U2 cds, which number
around 120. There are an addition 500+ that are still
packed away in boxes from various moves. Whew.

2. Last CD I Bought: I bought two at the same time.
Foo Fighters "In Your Honor" and Sleater-Kinney "The
Woods"

3. Last CD I Listened to: Sleater-Kinney "The Woods"
on the way to work this morning. I am loving this cd.
aggressive noisy all girl indie rock. Sounds great in
the car. The disc ends with a 2 songs that are
intermingled inside a 15 min extended noise jam. Love
it.

4. 5 CDs That Mean Something To Me:

U2 "Achtung Baby": My favorite cd of all time. Every
song is incredible. Lyrics are amazing. Sure almost
every song has oral sex allusions, but is that really
a bad thing?

Lift to Experience "The Texas-Jerusalem Crossroads":
How can a double disc album where every song is about
the end of the world where Texas is the promised land,
not be amazing? Somehow being a magical mix of U2, Led
Zepplin, Jeff Buckley, and a southern gospel preacher
works perfectly.

The Violet Burning "Self titled/Lipstick and the
dynamite wonder": A long dark exploration into some
dark spiritual territory with some serious guitar
distortion as your guide. "Underwater" is a song that
touches me spiritually like no other. As a man that
sometimes treads that narrow line between the holy and
human, that song is the anchor in my soul.

Pedro The Lion "Control": A masterful album of songs that intertwine, tackling issues as diverse as corporate greed, infidelity, murder, and Christian self righteousness. Everyone should sit in a dark room at least one in their life and listen to this album front to back.

Over The Rhine "Ohio": A 2 disc masterpiece that simply embodies everything that is amazing about music. The songs are well crafted, the lyrics reveal new things to me on every listen, and Karen's voice never ever gets old.

Interestingly enough, all these cds have something in one way or another to do with my faith. I didnt plan that or realize it would happen, but i guess it shows how deep my beliefs effect me.
