>>I'm sure we've all had this experience ... some album you just loved when
it came out, and you listened to it until you got tired of it, and then it
went on the shelf. And then every time you saw it sitting there you thought
"Naaaahh ..." Until one day <snip>

Well, it's not pop per se, but I've been rifling through my Iggy Pop/Stooges
stuff lately. Picked out the Stooges s/t and it just went from there.


>>Sometimes I think I ought to have a moratorium on buying anything new, and
force myself to spend a month or two just listening to the forgotten gems I
already own.

Bingo! I do this occasionally (it's called "Sunday") Seriously, If anyone
knows how to stop time for a week or so, please clue me. But one of the
benefits in knocking over a couple of boxes of CDs and being forced to put
them back in order is that "whoa...oh, YEAH!" when you pick up a cd like
Robert describes.

b, who thought he was going to read something about Ms. Springfield...
