RE: "The Case of the Found CD's"

"The World Is Not Enough" soundtrack?  That's one of my favorite film
soundtracks of all time!  As a Bond fanatic, I think David Arnold's scores
are the best since the days of John Barry.

Thanks!

Hmmm, if I flip through my current CD case, I find ...

   Hildegard von Bingen & Richard Souther: Illumination
   Daniel Amos: Alarma Chronicles discs 1, 2, 3
   David Arnold: The World Is Not Enough (soundtrack)
   Various Artists: Surfonic Water Revival
   Soundgarden: A-Sides
   Robbie Robertson: Music for The Native Americans (soundtrack)
   The 77s: Pray Naked
   The 77s: Drowning with Land in Sight
   Michael Nyman: Wonderland (soundtrack)
   Various Artists: Trainspotting (soundtrack)
   Various Artists: Music from the Films of Hal Hartley (soundtrack)
   Various Artists: Team Mint Volume Two
   Air: The Virgin Suicides (soundtrack)
   Sam Phillips: Fan Dance

Plus two home-made CD-Rs called "The Monica Mix", a 2.5-hour collection of
tunes I made for my sister (which has everything from Over the Rhine and
Cliff Richard to Howard Keel and Peter Sellers and Fred Astaire and Monty
Python and Gene Kelly and Joan Osborne and Spike Jones and The Waterboys
and Harvey Danger and Danny Kaye and Tom Waits singing a Disney tune...).

When I'm driving, I almost always include Moby's _Play_ and _Songs_ as
well, but they're currently sitting in my living-room CD player.

I'm not really sure *what* this collection of albums says about me, or
what someone could infer from them.  The _Team Mint_ disc is a local indie
compilation that I have in my collection for no other reason than the fact
that my sister plays fiddle in one of the bands on that disc.  I can't
remember the last time I actually *listened* to, say, the Soundgarden disc
-- I threw it in there cuz I really like 'Black Hole Sun', but most of the
rest of the disc doesn't do a whole lot for me.  And there are plenty of
discs that I enjoy but would never take with me on a drive, such as James
Newton Howard's soundtrack to _Snow Falling on Cedars_, because the music
is too subtle and tends to get drowned out by the driving noises.
