I'm so addicted to CD's it's pitiful, yet it really is true. I need them to survive; unfortunately, my bank account doesn't. Far from it.
Right now I just can't afford to buy them (I seem to have misplaced $1,000; have you seen it anywhere?), so I'm trying to stop. But it seems the less I buy, the more irresistable CD's I find.
Consequently, I'm asking anyone out there with a caring heart and an excessive account balance to donate to my recovery fund. My plan is to get enough money to buy all the CD's currently available, so I'll have nothing to buy. And when a new release becomes my latest infatuation, I'll be able to trade in CD's that I have that I don't like to fund new purchases. It is a perfect plan, now all I need is some money...
Current want list, in no particular order (everything I can think of at 12:17 AM):
- Arctic Monkies
- Older Snow Patrol Disks
- Dntel
- Fiona Apple
- Panic! At the Disco
- Red Hot Chili Peppers
- More Passion CD's
- Death Cab Stuff
- Massive Attack
- Fat Boy Slim Greatest Hits
- Hmm...More Daft Punk
- Thievery Corp.
- Psapp
- Pearl Jam? Sure!
- Si*Se--Not sure what it is...Who Cares!
- It's a female Mars Volta! It's Radio Vago!
- Matt Redman? Why not?

And there is a lot more where that came from!

Did you not delete your profile? It hasn't been working...
I don't think so, let me check... looks like I'm still there.
That CD idea is a good one. I wonder if it would work with cars too. buy up a bunch of cars and then trade 'em in for what I really want instead? Ok, maybe not. ;)
I think what I'll do is indeed buy all the CDs out there.....and then just keep them all for myself.
BWAHA.
or you know, LimeWire is a nice alternative. Not quite as vast a resource as cds, but definitely cheaper.........................
Danny S. has a friend that deals in used cars and makes some good money doing it. He did start with aabout $300,000 though.
Olivia, I thought about that, but then I figured that there would be plenty that I wouldn't like and would never listen to, so why not trade them in for new releases that I would like?
Why not LimeWire? There are a lot of reasons: horrible selection (Balkan Beat Box wasn't on there last time I checked), really is illegal (and immoral), doesn't compensate the artists for their hard work (so they don't get that much from a CD, but at least they can afford their gear), and, most importantly, MP3's COMPLETELY SUCK!!! All mp3 codecs are complete trash. They turn the music in to an approximation of an approximation (mp3 remove valuable data from the file, a file that already doesn't contain an analog waveform--even CD's have degraded quality, and it's even to the point that I can hear it). So CD's aren't ideal, and mp3's are out of the question.
