100 CDs

tomorrow, scott and i take off for maine. i have warm clothes, i have my telescope already in my car (how often do i get that far away from the NY lights?), i have snacks, and a fully charged ipod (with a brand new converter that lets me charge it from a wall not just from a usb port)), and i just finished the most important part -- picking what CDs to throw in the car... scott and i are both really big on music going ALL THE TIME, so having a good selection for 4 days in the car is key. he'll bring his own besides, but i just sat down and filled my 96 CD book with whatever i could reach that sounds reasonable to throw in in the next few days... of course not all will be listened to in the course of the trip, but whatever, options are good...

to further exhibit my bizarre/eclectic taste in music here's the top 96 CDs that just got pulled from my shelf for the trip (the first 40 or so were already in the case and got to stay, the rest were added)
