34 CDs to Listen To When You're Sacked Out On the Sofa in a Tryptophan-Induced (or Tofurkey-Induced) Haze
Forgive us for being US-centric, but most of us have been enjoying Thanksgiving leftovers for a few days now. We've all heard about the trance or slumber-inducing properties of the tryptophan in turkey, right? And most of us seem to have established that you aren't in your right mind if you try to eat a turkey substitute like tofurkey (nothing against vegetarians/vegans, folks, but you've got to admit that the "tofurkey" concept is ludicrous). So, with that in mind, we offer a healthy selection of music as a soundtrack for your post-prandial couchbound contemplation. Pick and choose, or put 'em all in the CD changer...it's your choice.
