The wife and I have a large collection (her's is around 650-700 cd's and mine is well over 1,700 cd's) yet I tend to not listen to varieties...I get stuck on artists a lot. I'll put songs on my MP3 player and listen to those and on my ITunes, but say...for the last three weeks or so, I've had nothing but Kristin Hersh in my car...not that Kristin can make a bad album. Before that, it was Lily Allen. (I know, I get shit for liking her...but I find her cheeky and hilarious.) And yes, I agree...it is cool to see what others have floating around their players. I think I'm going to start doing this... Hey, I can relate to basically everything you said, Autumn.

Do you set your player on shuffle or something, or is it just what you're listening to at the time? I'm just curious because I like the idea of it. Hey Autumn, how do you come up with your Random 10?

I feel like Morrissey's writing has become more "human" as he's gotten older - if that makes any sense. In the past, he seemed to deal with issues of desire or passion in a very distant way, but quite a few of the songs on 'Tormentors' directly address the topic of sex. Perhaps his writing has become less metaphorical, but I think it's good that Moz seems to be getting some action! And I think the production on the last two records sounds better than anything he's done since his Smiths days. I really like the crispness of the recordings.

But, c'mon. You gotta give 'You Are The Quarry' some love. It was a VERY strong return to form for Moz after years lost in the wilderness. Also, "Come Back To Camden" is probably my favorite song from that album! #10 is a great track. And although no one will mistake Thom Yorke for Isaac Hayes, I happen to think "A Punchup At A Wedding" is probably the funkiest song Radiohead has ever recorded. I wouldn't be surprised if some babies have been made to that song! Glad to see you’re a Dead Milkmen fan!
