Listening to ALL your music


I found that I seem to be listening to only a few CD's in my collection very often. While it is nice to have "reference" recordings, I found that I am concentrating on sound, not music. So, to counter this, I have decided to listen to all my CD's . I will not aquire any new CD's or make any changes to my system until I have listened to every note on every CD I have.

They are arranged alphabetically, and I seem to be able to do 2 or 3 a night. I have close to 700 CD's, so this should take a while.

Has anyone else done this?

My collection is sorted by artists relationships along with styles of music. For example David Byrne I can retreive among the Talking Heads bundle and Bryan Eno can be found between David Byrne and Phill Manzanera while Phill Manzanera can be found along with Bryan Ferry within Roxy music bundle etc...

Very often I figure the need of using equalizer due to many found rock recordings sound horrible but but still feel hunger to listen to it.

As to underware I prefere my few pair of Banana Republic boxers among bunch of others and also use them up whenever possible among other crap I have in my bedroom drower. I'd trash the rest of my undies and buy Bananas but they cost like a good Wallmart jeans indeed.
To let know everyone participating on this thread that this week I dedicate to Jethro Tull and all assocciated musicians from my current collection.
The previous was Talking Heads and all assocciated musicians and singers. It took me near two weeks of 4 hours per day listening to go through almost all of them and I realy have them all...
The next I guess comes in mind Japan and all assocciated musicians. In this case I have only one debut album and the rest near- 30 albums and signles are of Sakamoto Sylvian and Mick Karn...
More "lines" from my collection are Frank Zappa, King Crimson, ECM including all Pat Metheny,...
