Recently, my CD collection cracked the 1900 mark.
I know that’s note terribly eventful but in light of how awful last week was (Uncle Chief’s death, work dragged on and was filled with disappointment, so on), this is good news. Remember, the goal of this site is to avoid the doom, gloom and political ranting.
Anyway, most of my friends don’t have collections that large. I believe the only person I have met that definitely has me beat is Mark Millard’s brother. Then again, Mark is such a big fan that I think he also has me beat. I’ll have those facts checked to make sure.
So what was CD number 1900? A new compilation from Bowling for Soup called Bowling for Soup Goes to the Movies. I am glad to see that some artists (predecessors to this would be Lyle Lovett and Dwight Yoakam) are making the effort to bundle up their material used in movies and re-releasing them so no one has to buy the lame soundtracks or hope against hope for a boxed set, not all bands make it to that status.
On another front, I have been using some grep searches courtesy of co-worker and friend Adam to tally up statistics on KMAG. I am currently plodding through what the stream did over 2003 and I hope to have some final results in 4-6 weeks.
I just bought OK GO ‘Oh No’ and Kanye West’s ‘Late Registration’ and it hit me that I haven’t bought a cd in the store in at least seven months. iTunes baby, all the way…
I’m one of those old fashioned fuddy-duddies enjoys holding the brand new CD in my hot and sweaty hands. iTunes has it’s place, but I like to also own the real thing.
