Since September 2010, this blog has recorded the journey of this music junkie as I attempt to listen to all the music in my CD collection. CDs revisited in their entirety from start to finish - no skipping tracks, no shuffle. Compact Discs only - no vinyl, no tapes, no files.

  13. Celebration
  14. Y.M.C.A.
  15. Another One Bites the Dust
  16. Rock This Town
  17. Hot Hot Hot
  18. Mickey

Personal Memory Associated with this CD: None, but I'm reminded of how these party mix CDs were a necessity in 1999 because of the current technology. Now, streaming playlists have rendered them obsolete, but that doesn't mean much around these parts - we still gonna spin these discs.
