I'm still making slow progress on the CD inventory. Some strange trends are starting to take shape. There are very few artists in my collection that are represented by just one disc. An average is probably a little more than two. Very odd. It seems that I'm a loyal fan to a fault. To that end -

*I own five Joe Henry CDs. Five. I'm completely unsure as to how that happened.

*I continued to buy Prince records long after his output was, well, awful. Thirteen albums.

*I found three albums (The Smiths' "Meat Is Murder," Gram Parson's "GP/Grievous Angel, and R.E.M.'s "Eponymous") that I unknowly have two copies of. There are several that I willingly bought twice.

*I own Joe Jackson's "Night and Day II." What? I swear that I wasn't even aware that this album existed, let alone that I'd bought any Joe Jackson in the last ten years.

*I own three things by Ours, a band that I simply detest.

*I'm completely at a loss as to how "Alanis Unplugged" came to be in my collection. I think someone of the female persuasion left it at my house or something. No, really. I'm serious. I would have remembered buying this. It would have been proceeded by a week-long bender.

I clearly am in need of therapy...
