1. Yes.
I have not only listened to the same CD for the past seven months, but only listen to two tracks on it over and over again. I will probably still be listening to it next year at this time. There's nothing wrong with me, except everything.

5. What CD? What songs? Inquiring minds want to know.

18. This time of the year? Of course...
Edited on Sun Dec-05-04 02:41 AM by Radio_Lady
Well, sure... I listen to many of the same wonderful Christmas songs during November and December. They're like my friends. Most people know I love cold weather. Friends and family are surprised to learn that when the thermometer hits its high spots (July and August), I listen to holiday songs, usually mentioning cold weather. I find them calming and soothing.

Over the last few politically stressful years, I have used a variety of musical CDs with the sound of the ocean, combining with music or other nature sounds -- this helps me get to sleep when I am distraught or overtired.

2. No, but if my downstairs neighbor listens to Norah Jones' "Don't know Why"
one more time, I'm calling in the shrinks.

And I like the song.

3. Oh, yes. I do it all the time.
It goes in cycles. Sometimes it's the Mavericks, sometimes it's Live, sometimes it's even Glenn Miller. I get on a kick, wear it out, and move onto another kick. I keep almost all of my CDs in a zippered case out in the car, because I never know what kick I might get on next.

6. I geerally go through cycles
Whenever I get a new CD I typically play it out by listening to it over and over and over...and over and over until I'm sick of it. After that I won't listen to that CD for a long while. Between getting new CDs I go through similar cycles with old CDs, but they're generally much shorter. Right now I've been listening to the same Doors greatest hits album for a few days.

20. Nice!
Have you heard the Folds/Shatner collaboration? It's f'n brilliant. The Henry Rollins song should be "record of the year"

19. Oh, let's see ...
I went through phases like that with several albums, over the years.

Sarah McLachlan's 'Solace' was one, but it was during a divorce that was occasionally ugly, and now I don't care if I never hear any song off that album again.

I also had a friend leave a copy of Kings X 'Gretchen Goes To Nebraska' in my car's tape deck years ago that I lied to his face about because I wanted to listen to it some more. That lasted about a month before I finally bought it on CD and gave him back the tape.

Todd Rundgren's 'A Wizard ... A True Star!' has hung me up several times to the point I couldn't put anything else on.

Somebody else mentioned the first Ben Folds Five album -- I got snowed in during a blizzard about eight years ago and had only two new CDs to listen to. It was that one and Soul Coughing's 'Ruby Vroom.' I listened to them constantly for three days.

And finally, I went through a phase just after things had finally run aground with my first hubby where I put in Soundgarden's 'Superunknown' album and programmed it to play Black Hole Sun on repeat for almost an hour and a half. I'd imagine the people in the apartment building where I lived at the time were well sick of Chris Cornell by the end of that.

21. Pissed people off? Sure
Edited on Sun Dec-05-04 01:40 PM by MrScorpio
But scaring them? Nope

But, if you stand between my Zero 7 "Simple Things" CD and myself, prepare to get stomped.

24. We saw him in the mid-90s
He was a vision in flowing emerald green silk and matching Gucci loafers. He started saying something like "I'll aways be there for you, baby," and this woman behind us got up and screamed, "I know you will, Barry!" We just died laughing.

He ruled.
