Remember in grade school when you did something good the teacher would give you a GOLD STAR on the board. Well I was thinking since there is so much new music out there that I would start to hand out GOLD STARS to the CDs that are coming out that week. I could hand out One or Five depending on the week. Remember this is just a guideline and my own humble opinion of CDs that are worth your time. At least I think you should check them out.
