Back catalog ripping update - Longtime readers of this blog know that I had a catastrophic hard-drive crash several months ago and that I continue to rip back catalog CDs for reinsertion in the Festival Radio playlist. I store CDs in alphabetical order by artist (with a few exceptions), and am ripping them in that order. Last night, I ripped all of my Levellers CDs. Now that I have a much faster computer, a laptop, I can put the CDs in while I'm watching TV or reading a book in the evening. My focus, of course, is on listening to the latest CDs I receive in the mail, but the catalog ripping has progressed rapidly over the last month or so.

Paul Kelly - A to Z
Australian singer/songwriter Paul Kelly, one of my faves, is starting a massive music giveaway.
Over the last few years, Kelly has done shows where, over the course of 4 nights, he has performed 100 of his songs in alphabetical order. He will be making some recordings from those shows available in mp3 format at http://www.paulkelly.com.au/A-Z/, at the rate of one letter per month. Registration is required.
Tracks will be up for one month, and some months will have more tunes than others. January 2008 features three "A" tracks.
If you're not familiar with Kelly, this is a great, free way to get introduced to a really fine singer/songwriter who is one of Australia's great treasures. If you are familiar with Kelly, you will want these tracks for your collection.
