I hope you entered em. Contribute to the world's only CD research library.
It always gives me a thrill when I have a CD that's not in there and I get
to make the first entry. Some sort of Polar Explorer rush.

Subject: metal: black etc
The Aquarius Records mailings have interesting sounding descriptions of some underground metal & Merzbow puts in a good word in The Wire. But does anybody know if there is actually any of this that really lives up to that? I listen to the metal shows periodically on local radio and they do play a lot of black/death/underground metal but it all seems so unimaginative and tedious. Is there better out there?

I am by no means an expert on the underground stuff that AQ talks about. I would also like to hear some of it that they hype so well.
Some friends convinced me to try early Slayer, Venom, Metallica (well, only some tracks on Kill 'em All), but what really got me converted to Black Metal was hearing Napalm Death's "Scum" and Carcass's "Reek of Putrefaction" I unqualifiedly (is that a word?) recommend these records as listenable and strange worlds to visit, but I don't live there.
I kinda like Burzum, Morbid Angel, and Pan.Thy.Monium. I've yet to find any Mayhem, who are supposed to be the pinnacle of black metal.

Subject: David Bowie/Joey Baron ?
Hello list,
being a fan of David Bowie, I've had the "Outside" CD for a long time, and
I was just watching it and realized that a Joey Barron plays drums ... I
imagine this is the same Joey Baron we all know.
So now I'm looking for a Joey Baron discography because I'm curious where
he has played. Hope you can help me with this.
Thanks
Neil H. Enet

My "golden" rule is to not file the CD unless I've
listened to it at least twice -- to get a feel of how
it sounds. That way I have some sort of aural memory
when I want to pull it out again.
That works well, except when I buy a lot at once (like
the 14 I just brought back from NYC). Luckily I have a
"boom box" in the kitchen and a CD player in this
computer.
For most of us, though, I'd say the biggest problem
isn't organization, but space. With 600 plus CDs, not
to mention thousands of LPs and about 200 casettes,
the filing space near the stereo is getting a little
crowded. Not to mention all the books that have to be
filed around there as well.
