| There's nothing like the feeling you get when you've just picked up some new music that you haven't heard yet and just waiting to listen to. There's a certain level of anticipation as you unwrap the plastic from that CD, tape, or record and pull it out of it's case/cover. Put it into the player, lay down the needle, or cue up the track.
