I have the habit of sometimes leaving CDs out, although most often they are, at least, in their cases. Then I put them away... somewhere - and can't find them when I want them. Or, if I'm listening to something in the car (not for much longer), and one of the kids gets in and puts one of their CDs in, often we grab whatever case happens to be there, just to get it out of the way and if we forget we've done this by the time we bring the CDs back in the house, often the wrong CD is in the wrong case and goes back on the shelf like that. Then it requires excellent recall to try to remember what else we might have been listening to at the time and what else we can associate with that in order to figure out where the missing CD is most likely to be.

I have the same problem, so I just put everything in together and to hell with genre. It's still problematic with a lot of classical music. Do you put it under the name of the composer? the artist who's performing? What if there is more than one composer, or several major artists playing together on the album? and so on.

It broadcast a one-hour compilation of Joni's one and only concert in the Netherlands (as far as I know), in The Hague on 27 April 1983. I could not be present at the time, nor have I ever seen any copies of this concert on any trading list ... and, believe me, I am an avid trader. It's a crisp, well recorded show that I would love to share with all of you. I have 10 copies here, ready to be mailed. Real good, and for free. Just send me a message off-line with your address. It would be nice if you could re-offer it again to other list members if you have copying capabilities. I will pick the lucky 10 on Sunday afternoon, so digesters have a chance to react too.

Hi Pearl, It is easy to tell something about a person by the words they use to describe themselves. Take particular for instance: Particular... that is party color, saying it slowly by syllables. This means you add color to parties and like parties with a lot of color. So basically, you are a hippy by nature. It is good that you are particular. Better to be that than to be particulate. If you were particulate, you would miss much of the fun. Question to all: What is something we don't know about you? About me? What is about me that you don't know? Like about me on my desk that you can't see? Well, there are Sunflower seeds, Black Jack licorice gum, a capo biting a thumb pick, a crystal dancing on a computer speaker, a timeless white sun visor hat, a DVD titled Ravi Shankar in Portrait, manuals I intend to read about cameras and other electronics but probably won't, a ready-to-send-to a friend Dreamland CD, an unopened package of sermons by a retired bishop friend of mine, a comb, a headband, a small pillow that says "friends are angels following you through life," a pencil that needs to be sharpened, empty Joni CD cases, a tremolo harmonica in the key of C, and other precious junk.

If you keep them in some kind of order, alphabetical or otherwise, you constantly have to move stuff around to accomodate new ones. It might be a bit easier in jewel cases, to read the names on the spines (if that's what you could call them in jewel cases - anyway the side of them), but, once again, the type is so tiny!> I took a tip from libraries. When they shelve a brand new library, they leave 1/3 of every shelf unused. I keep the jewel boxes on the store-bought racks, based on wooden dowel rods. I find them at thrift stores and haven't run out of room yet. The dowel rods make them cheap to buy but if one CD falls over, several may fall off the dowels. To solve that problem, I use two clothes pins to hold a CD vertical. http://home.fuse.net/jlamadoo/Organized_CDs.jpg There's enough strength to hold the CD upright and it seems like a simple enough solution. I like liner notes and photos too much to every give up the jewel boxes. Jim PS, My order: Alphabetically, by artist's name. Official releases are always first but then I don't have hard-fast rules. Side projects (i.e. Travelling Wilburys), official compilations follow, and collectables follow. Some solo artists are grouped with their group if they didn't completely distingish themselves (Keith Emerson follows ELP). Otherwise, folks like Sir George Harrison are alphabetized as a solos. For the first 10 years of collecting, I had titles ordered chronologically within an artist. I think the section on the Beatles original releases should end with "Abbey Road", not "Let It Be" but I'm willing to listen to opposing points of view on the topic. ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 25 Sep 2005 21:52:42 EDT From: LCStanley7@aol.com Subject: Re: test, njc Bree "wrote": Date: Fri, 23 Sep 2005 23:22:00 -0400 From: "Bree Mcdonough" Subject: test njc Hi Bree, Is the answer to your test: "your font is that beautiful color nobody can see"?

My current system is by years of release; sort of to tie in with the idea of my website project (if it looks the same on my shelves as on the site, it helps!) and also because, despite repeated attempts, I just cannot get my head around A-Z or, worse, the "by genre" methods. Ah, but there's a catch of course; "greatest hits"-style compilations go in a separate room in two new giant IKEA CD towers that reach up to the ceiling and almost need a ladder to reach the top rows. I was never made to be straightforward. So, as a result my Joni collection of official release (now complete, I can proudly/finally anounce..Miles Of Aisles joined the family this summer) is all over the place. This has the up side of putting the 80s masterpieces among their buddies like Starship, Bros and Duran Duran. As it should be.

From truthout.org: We Don't Exist By Cindy Sheehan t r u t h o u t | Perspective Sunday 25 September 2005 Last weekend, Karl Rove said that I was a clown and the anti-war movement was "non-existent." I wonder if the hundreds of thousands of people who showed up today to protest this war and George's failed policies know that they don't exist. It is also so incredible to me that Karl thinks that he can wish us away by saying we aren't real. Well, Karl and Co., we are real, we do exist and we are not going away until this illegal and immoral occupation of Iraq is over and you are sent back to the depths of whatever slimy, dark, and loathsome place you came from. I may be a clown, Karl, but you are about to be indicted. You also preside over one of the biggest three-ring, malevolent circuses of all time: the Bush administration. The rally today was overwhelming and powerful. The reports that I was arrested today were obviously false. The peace rally was mostly very peaceful. Washington, DC was filled with energetic and proud Americans who came from all over to raise their voices in unison against the criminals who run our government and their disastrous policies that are making our nation more vulnerable to all kinds of attacks (natural and "Bush"-made disasters). I led the march for peace alongside such venerable activists as the Reverends Al Sharpton, Bob Edgars, and Jesse Jackson Jr., and Julian Bond. Two of our Congresswomen with cajones from California, Barbara Lee and Lynn Woolsey, also led the march. Many people told me thank you for coming. I want to tell America "Thank you!!" At the Camp Casey reunion this evening, I was so overcome with emotion and gratitude that I wanted to hug every citizen of this country. We in the Camp Casey movement are so proud and thrilled that America showed up in such great numbers. So much happened today! I am exhausted but very content. I am again filled with a renewed sense of hope that we will get our country back and get our troops home. I was also thrilled at the number of young people who came out today. That is another great sign that the side of good is winning. With the Reverends, we stopped in front of the White House and said a prayer. After the prayer, I said that we are light and they are darkness. Darkness can NEVER overcome the light, ever. As long as there is one spark, the darkness has lost. We will prevail, we will be victorious. The darkness has lost because our beacons of peace and truth are shining for the entire world to see. And it is a very pretty sight. Take that Karl. Patriotic Dissent By Cindy Sheehan t r u t h o u t | Speech Saturday 24 September 2005 Ahhhh, I love the smell of Patriotic Dissent in the afternoon! As we stand here on the grounds of a monument that is dedicated to the Father of our Country, George Washington, we are reminded that he was well known for the apocryphal stories of never being able to tell a lie. I find it so ironic that there is another man here named George who stays in this town between vacations, and he seems to never be able to tell the truth. It is tragic for us that our bookend presidents named George have two completely different relationships with honesty. I also find it ironic and heartbreaking that my son, Casey, who was a brave person, tall and proud, who loved his country and was honest beyond measure, could be sent to his death by someone who is even too cowardly to meet with a broken-hearted mom, let alone go and fight in the illegal and immoral war of his generation. We are losing our best and our brightest in a country that we are destroying, that was no threat to the United States of America. Iraq was and still is no danger to our safety and security, or to our way of life. The weapons of mass destruction and mass deception reside in this town: they are the neocons who pull the strings and the members of Congress who have loosened the purse strings with reckless abandon and have practically given George and company a blank check to run our country into monetary and moral bankruptcy. We are out here in force today to take our country back and restore true democracy and sanity to our political process. The time is now, and we are here because we love our country, and we won't let the reckless maniacs destroy her any further. We, as a young colony of Great Britain, broke from another tyrant, King George the Third. Well, I wish our George the Third were here today to see us out here in force protesting against his war and against his murderous policies. George is not here, though, because he is out galavanting around the country somewhere pretending that he cares about the people who are in the path of hurricane Rita. We know that he cares nothing for the people of America: Katrina, Iraq, and his idiotic response to 9/11 are evidence of that. He is just out and about play-acting like a President whose country is in crisis, just like he pretends to be a Commander in Chief and a Cowboy (I wonder if before he took off to Texas or Colorado or wherever he went, he watched a movie like Independence Day to see how that other fake president acted?). The reason he is out today is that his handlers told him that he got a little flak for playing golf and eating birthday cake with Senator McCain while some of his employers were hanging off rooftops and treetops in New Orleans. He swaggers around arrogantly like he is a macho dictatorial tyrant who doesn't have to answer to his employers, the people of the United States of America. Those days are over George, we are here today to tell you that we are a majority and we will never rest until you bring our young people home from the Middle East, and until you start putting money into rebuilding OUR communities: the ones natural disasters destroy with your help, and the ones which your callous and racist war economy are decimating. We won't allow you to take anymore money out of social programs to finance Halliburton to rebuild the Gulf States: there is no money. Our bank account is empty. George, this is our rainy day and you have failed us miserably. Stop pouring money into the pockets of the war profiteers and into building permanent bases in Iraq ... It is time to bring our billions of dollars home from Iraq too!!! One thing the Camp Casey movement that hunkered down in Crawford, Texas, this past August taught us is that we the people of America have the power and we can and should name our national policy and make sure it is carried out. I constantly get asked if we are making a difference and if we think (like we're naove boobs) that we will actually stop the war. Well, looking back at how Vietnam was ended and looking back in the history of our country, most notably in the suffragette, union, and civil rights movements, we the people are the only ones who have been able to transform history and affect true and lasting change here in America: so to those people who question if we are making a difference: I tell them to go back to school and read their history books!! And another thing these questioners overlook is that WE ARE MAKING A DIFFERENCE!!! And we are here to tell the media, Congress, and this criminal and criminally negligent administration: WE ARE NOT GOING AWAY!!! We in the peace movement need to agree on one thing: yes we need an exit plan, but it is not a strategy, it is a command. The command should be: have all of our military personnel and paid killer mercenaries out of Iraq within 6 months, and the generals carry out the command. Simple, it's not brain surgery, and I think it is so easy even George Bush can sign the order. We can't give the homicidal maniacs any wiggle room or long-term strategy sessions. For one thing, when our leaders strategize, we are put in even more jeopardy - they have proven that they are not too bright or even a little compassionate. But the most important thing is that people die every day in Iraq for absolutely no reason and for lies. We have to say NOW because the people on the other side are saying NEVER. We can't compromise, we can't say please, and we can't retreat. If we do, our country is doomed. We have to honor the sacrifices of our loved ones by completing the mission of peace and justice. It is time.
