Thank Thee for This Bountiful Cheddar X!
Starting the new year off right, let's dig into a fresh plate of the Cheddar X, It's Cheesier!

1. How do you organize your music?
Cd's are stacked in racks and then stashed in the closet. Very little organization there, sometimes bands are grouped together and sometimes all of a band's cd's will be put together but that's about it.
On the laptop, they are stored in album folders and then each band is listed alphabetically. And the best part is that its all automated thanks to iTunes being a kickass program (though it should be easily skinnable, come on Stevie!).

2. Do you have more online or more hard copy music?
Hard to say anymore. I don't know how many CD's I've got. Between P and I we're in the 500 or so range, It think. But I've got about 20 gigs of music on my laptop now (yes, I DO need a new iPod!). I've got alot more fresh music in mp3 form, that's for sure.

3. What are your three most favorite bands you found or heard of online?
Papas Fritas has gotta be one because the song that Sedalina posted, "Way You Walk" is excellent and I listen to it at least once an hour.
Dispatch is excellent as well for "The General" and a few others. And the last of the top three? Hard to say because there are so many new bands I've come across online (thanks to all the bloggers who list their favorite artists! makes it so much easier to find new music!). I think that I will have to go with Lovage for "Strangers on a Train", "Stroker Ace" and other songs (also, being a band based on sexuality and sexiness doesn't hurt either). Honorable mentions go to Blackalicious, Ladytron, The Roots and The Faint.

And now some obvious questions.
4. What are your New Year's resolutions, if any?
A better committment to my workouts.
Providing a safe and secure home for my wife and pending child as well as the puppy that's coming too.
Upgrading and improving much of the new house including: stairway, backyard, back fence, skylights, secret doors and secret rooms (you wish I was kidding but I'm not) and lots more.
Putting in more time on the slow novel project, a few chapters every few months should be alright.
Putting thoughts to action and starting the process of opening my own communications company.
Take a vacation outside the USA, likely to Mexico or the Caribbean.
Working on becoming a better worker, improving my PR skills and expanding my skillset.
There are more but they're not for sharing, eh?

5. How did you do on your last year's resolutions?
Missed most but made good progress on a few and progress is the important thing to keep in mind. Its progress, its movement in a positive direction.

And that's it, my first Cheddar X responses of 2004! Want some? Go and get some Cheddar X, It's Cheesier!
