There are no fewer than fifteen unopened CDs cluttering the top shelf of the bookcase atop which our CD player sits, and I’m aching to hear some of them, but I can’t, because for the first time in a long time I’ve got an album that’s mercilessly pushing everything else out of the way. While similar Darwinian struggles have always taken place on and around stereos, the ascendance of the compact disc has ritualized matters. While we here at Last Plane to Jakarta are loathe to concede any advantages to CDs over LPs, we must nevertheless celebrate anything that results in cool little music-related rituals. Our own term for the ritual occupying our thoughts this week is Changer Life.
