If you're wondering why I've been so quiet the last couple of weeks, it's because I'm ripping our entire CD collection to play on our fantastic new hi-fi (which really is utterly fantastic, by the way).

We have 1,400 CDs, and I'm ripping them in alphabetical order. I know this sounds really nerdy, but it seemed like the easiest way to avoid missing any. I'm currently on the J's: Robert Johnson: The Complete Recordings, in fact.
