buy more CDs

Bought some more. Went CD shopping awhile ago, went to Zavvi (used to be Virgin Megastores). I just thought to myself – I haven’t gone CD shopping for ages, it’s something I always used to enjoy, so wanted to do it again. I bought “Slipknot – All Hope Is Gone” £9 (their new CD) and “Incubus – S.C.I.E.N.C.E” £5.

Also, when I went to Edinburgh this week, I saw Fopp. Awhile ago they were saying all Fopp stores would close, but they didn’t. Some did, some managed to stay open. The Fopp in Sheffield sadly went away (in its place is now a coffee place, that I’ve never even been in – it’s a shame, I loved Fopp), anyway lucky Edinburgh has a Fopp, so I had to go in (mum didn’t get it, to her it’s just one of many CD shops, but she’s not a fan of CD shops anyway). It brought back memories (of Fopp in Sheffield that I used to go to, not of Fopp in Edinburgh ‘cause never been before!). Also they were playing Metallica which was cool! Found the metal section and thought to myself, I’ve got to buy a CD from here! So I bought “Rob Zombie – Educated Horses” £5 (Fopp was good for £5 CDs, a few years ago I bought ‘Pearl Jam – Ten’ and I also bought an Oasis CD, think it was “(What’s The Story) Morning Glory)”.

Also, I didn’t buy the CD, but at a rock pub called Bannermans they had free CDs, so picked one up!

I didn’t think this would happen, and I didn’t want it to happen, but I don’t care about owning CDs anymore. :’(

I prefer CDs to digital downloads…the CD is the ultimate…first you have the CD in which to play in your stereo/car/CD player…then you can rip the tracks off to put in your mp3 player and make mixed CDs…and to add a bonus feature, you then have a nifty CD booklet in which to decorate your walls with and memorize the lyrics…yay!!

though, I cheat and buy most of my CDs off of ebay or something like that for about 50 cents or so….technically I’m just as bad as though who download music illegally…oh well :P

I have over 80 CDs and counting!!

Dad gave me “Idiot Pilot – Wolves”, I paid a fiver for it. Yay, I now have both Idiot Pilot albums! He couldn’t find it in England so ordered it from America.

I bought “Paramore – Riot!”. It was £7 from HMV.

Also, I got quite a few new CDs for my birthday (March 1st).

fuck this

Due to downloading, I have not bought a cd for at least a couple of years. This was fine at first, but I really miss working on my cd collection! I love buying actual cds, browsing a real store, where I’m bound to discover something amazing… I love the artwork, I love having a full album, I love playing the full album in order, from start to finish, as it was intended to be played. I’m tired of playing a mishmash of random songs, no reference point, no bigger picture…. I’m tired of only getting the most popular songs from any given artist…....

So, I vow to buy more cds! Wow, I feel more passionately about this than I realized!

ehat good to all

I’ve now got the opposite problem, where I’ve got too many CD’s and not enough time to listen to and appreciate them! Not a bad situation to be in though, I love music. :)

I’d really like to begin buying more CDs, I have very few, and sold most of what I did have a few months ago. The only problem is, I don’t have the money to buy many right now.
