Hi folks,

I listen to a ridiculous amount of music. This is not bragging, it is a plague and I wish I could listen to less. In any case, these are my picks for things I've listened to in the past month — not my picks for the greatest records of all time or anything like that, but cd's that I'm sure I'll enjoy forevah. Indulgent stuff, no?
