I think I have a disease. Let's call it "Album completism."

[WritingIsMyReligion]

Once I hit "play" on an album, I cannot stop listening to it until it is over. I cannot just listen to half the album and stop, or even just a few select tracks. Like right now, I'm listening to a Steely Dan album I've heard 10,000 times, and yet I WILL NOT go and get dressed until the album is done. Why? Because that would require a break in album listening mid-album.

Is there a twelve-step program for this? :cry::cry:

1. That must take a lot of your time

:hi:

2. I have that problem too.

I absolutely can't stand listening to things on random, either. Songs need context.

3. hey nineteen

There are only a handful of very good albums I'm like that with.

4. I'm only fifteen.

:P :P

Kinda "Janie Runaway"-ish. Except I've never run away. And menage a trois isn't really my thing.

:D

5. Will a 4-step program do?

1) Rip all your CDs to MP3.
2) Obtain a stereo that can play MP3 CDs, if yours can't.
3) Write your MP3 into CD-Rs (each CD-R will hold 10-15 albums).
4) Play THOSE in your stereo, with shuffle.

6. Too time-consuming for me.

8. COUNTDOWN TO ECSTASY.

I've been vibrating between that and AJA all week. :D

I really need a new album....Preferably more 'Dan. :P

10. Thanks

I love AJA tho because I love the song "Peg"..I think it's on there..

Ive seen your picture
Your name in lights above it
This is your big debut
Its like a dream come true
And when you smile for the camera
I know theyre gonna love it

I like your pin shot
I keep it with your letter
Done up in blueprint blue
It sure looks good on you
So wont you smile for the camera
I know Ill love you better

Peg
It will come back to you
Peg
It will come back to you
Then the shutter falls
You see it all in 3-d
Its your favorite foreign movie

[WritingIsMyReligion]

11. Yes, it's on there.

Track 4. And an excellent track, as well, although they all are on that album. My fav. from Aja is "Deacon Blues." ;)
