But my new car only has a CD player. So I've been listening to CDs every day on my commute. There's something about picking out a CD that is different from choosing music on an iPod. When I see a CD on the shelf, I'm taken back to the time when I bought it. I remember my life where it was at that time. So I have found myself listening to a lot of older albums. It's been fun. So, while I will one day replace this radio with a newer one, I have been enjoying this time of going back and listening to some albums that I haven't listened to for a while.
So I present to you a list of albums I have listened to in the past month or so. As you will see, there are some newer albums on this list, but there are a lot of older ones, too. There is a lot of nostalgia here.
