Good God, they don’t make words strong enough for how far
behind I am. I mean, Jesus H. Fuck, I’m backlogged. I’ve got
a gazillion CDs lying around the place, most of them having
sat idly in the ‘to be reviewed’ stack for 6 months or more,
with very few of them actually having been reviewed. And now
I look up and the calendar spits December 30 out at me with
as much venom as an inanimate object can muster. Good Lord,
what is a poor Minion to do?
Okay, so here’s my plan. I’m going to combine a few tasks
together here and try to hack my way free of this jungle.
Specifically, I’m going to go through all of these damnable
CDs. (Is there a 12-step program for compulsive CD buyers?)
I’m going to sort them out into piles by Number of Sponges,
then I’m going to list them for y’all, starting with the lowest
sponge collectors and moving through to them what seem to
me to be worthy of the high praises. If the disc in question
has been reviewed already, I’ll try to point you to it. If
it hasn’t, I’ll point out some of the ups and downs in a mini-review
as we go.
And yes, I do in fact get this damnable accent every time
I go south to visit the parents.
So, here we go. Beginning with the crap… (You
