the cd ripping has continued, and i've churned through another shelf. one last shelf to go. 135 artists, 314 albums, 3783 songs, and 15 gigs. i've been hitting pockets of albums by the same artists, which explains the 71 albums but only 23 new artists -- van halen, blue öyster cult, jean-michel jarre. a big chunk of this last shelf will be most of the rush albums. (and rush doesn't appear to have a official website outside of a crappy one that is part of atlantic's website. that is very, very odd.)
