A minor tragedy. All of the music is replaceable, but not all of the CDs are. I hardly ever forget to lock my car, but I guess the threat level has been upgraded to orange, now. The silver lining here is that they didn’t take anything else, half of the CDs were just burned copies, and I had just burned a couple of other things to listen to so I wasn’t music-less on the way in to work. Still, of the 23 wayward discs I can recall being in there, I will miss these ones the most:
- 5. Pseudosix – Pseudosix
- 4. The New Pornographers – Twin Cinema
- 3. Quasi – Field Studies
- 2. 20 Minute Loop – Yawn + House = Explosion
- 1. Pavement – Wowee Zowee
Godspeed, may I recover some of you in a used record store someday.
