Somehow I forgot to check the Deep Purple CDs at HMV yesterday. I was actually more focused on Agalloch which they had absolutely none of.

So what about a job where you patrol car parks but don't have any law enforcements if anyone is going out of line? No good in that, I'm afraid.

I think this is what Dire Straits mean when they sing about "Money for Nothing (and chicks for free)".

Chicks for free? Everyone always says getting a girlfriend is free but why is it so hard for me to get one? :P

Classic era for That Guy With the Glasses.

Dat green screen effect.

It happens. It's not your fault, but you're going the right way about getting more work. Seriously, had the job market been better, I would not be working where I am now.

Well, I'm listening to Money for Nothing right now. :P
Next song on the album is "Walk of Life", btw. ;)

I gave up looking for CDs in big stores. First of all, the only thing that comes close to HMV is the Saturn store. But second: This store just sucks and always charges high prices (and yet their slogan is something like "being stingy is cool"). I only have a look around if I have some time to waste.

It's hard to be cheaper than Amazon (at least sometimes), but most of the time CDs in stores are so damn overpriced that you really wonder who buys that shit. Sorry, but 20 Euros for just one album is too much.

If my dad and the other three blokes who make the pitch up for us said that, we wouldn't have a pitch to play on. If our youth coaches said that, we wouldn't have a promising group of kids coming through to play for us, giving our club a future. We're having fun, yet we're giving something back

I know what you mean - it's the same with me and Pink Floyd. I can't stomach it all the time, but I'm getting into some of their lesser known stuff, along with the classics.

Well, I only have the "Brothers in Arms" album and a few songs here and there from other albums (like "Sultans of Swing"). But I'm not really interested in getting more from them in the near future. Even though you have to give credit to Mark Knopfler for his guitar playing.

But yeah, it's not like it takes forever to produce a CD and it's not like it would cost very much to produce a CD. So why are they so damn expensive? Especially when you think about what you actually get: A CD with the music on it, and IF you are lucky the lyrics in the booklet. Speaking of the booklet: Sometimes it's just a simple booklet with the cover on it and maybe the lyrics. But nothing else. At least in the metal genre, most bands have some nicely styled booklets...

Just became Sergeant Major in B/P.

Quite a day if I do say so myself.

21,000 Blams, 33.33% Flash Review Response rate, Ranked #170 in Experience.

Got a couple of more nice achievements due in the next few days too.

Sorry for the double post, but I just noticed I have jumped up to the #49 spot on the Top 50 Medal Points Users List.

7.00 Total VP

At long last, Sup. Commander!

1.

I suppose it would be best if I put that into context.

Days on Newgrounds 3,506. BBS Posts 3,506. It took long enough, but I finally hit the 1 post per day mark.

Passed 18000 B/P

Coop tries to put yesterday's crushing defeat behind him, while congratulating:

Yep, CDs for me. I have the turntable in the conservatory but it's very rarely it would actually be used. I only got Unholy Cadaver on vinyl because the release was CD+2LP exclusive. It was that or buy the album from Amazon MP3.

Yeah, I have come across some iffy booklets in the past. That wouldn't determine whether it was worth buying the CD or not but I'd sure as hell be disappointed if I had to pay £15 on one album and they didn't have the courtesy to make a nice booklet to go along with it.

So, I finally got around to compile a list of all the CDs I own. Or rather: Me and my wife own. Here's the list.

Note, that not all of those are Metal-CDs. Most CDs with german names are Hip Hop-CDs (yes, I like to listen to some HipHop from time to time, but only german HipHop ;) )

Yes. Compilation Albums are a good way to check out a band, even though I would never buy one myself.
My mother has the "Brothers in Arms" album, and I ripped the CD when I went through her CD collection some years ago.

Amazon MP3s are a good way to get some albums very cheap. But I don't do that too often, as I always feel there's something missing...

Exactly. I've seen some booklets that only had the cover and some picture on the back. The "inside" of the booklet was just blank. WTF?

Yeah, currently I'm getting a reputation of being the worst captain we've ever had, a winless record and a massively bruised foot.

To top it all off, tomorrow, I have to go to my brother's wedding. I wasn't looking forward to tomorrow, as I don't like my brother, let alone the fat slag that he is marrying. But hey, who am I to stand in the way. Just limp through it, try not to scowl during the photos and hope that the escape committee comes up with the goods, so that I can escape at a reasonable hour.

£6.10 on play. Might be a little more, to you on the continent, but hey, give it a look.

For those of you that care about my cricketing exploits (gamejunkie, mostly), I stopped a cricket ball with my left instep, while fielding a drive to mid-off. Suffice to say, this hurt. Hobbled by this, I was fielding at square leg / mid off for the rest of the afternoon, with little incident. I did catch a massive top-edge, that descended right down my throat and then took the ball for a four over spell, returning figures of 4-1-12-1, so not all that bad, considering that the opposition amassed 217 in just under 40 overs.

We were bowled out for 156, so a much better batting performance, with me (and my runner) high and dry on 0* Still haven't got an average with the bat... Could have done with some runs yesterday, I felt in good touch...

Listening to:

Orphaned Land - The Never Ending Way of ORwarriOR. I think I know what I'll be listening to A LOT over the next few weeks.

There's something it definitely needs and that's a spellchecker. :P

Note, that not all of those are Metal-CDs. Most CDs with german names are Hip Hop-CDs (yes, I like to listen to some HipHop from time to time, but only german HipHop ;) )

Ehh, I've not got anything too unusual for my tastes. The most out of place CD in my collection is Kraftwerk but even they have a good reason to be there. Although, all I have from them is The Man-Machine.

Yes. Compilation Albums are a good way to check out a band, even though I would never buy one myself.

It wasn't me who bought them, unless it was for a present at one point. Either way, I can always check it out and decide for myself. There are the odd good compilations that aren't released by Queen. :P I'm looking at Gamma Ray's Blast from the Past here.

Yep, CDs for me. I have the turntable in the conservatory but it's very rarely it would actually be used. I only got Unholy Cadaver on vinyl because the release was CD+2LP exclusive. It was that or buy the album from Amazon MP3.

Amazon MP3s are a good way to get some albums very cheap. But I don't do that too often, as I always feel there's something missing...

Hence why I never use Amazon MP3 for albums. Maybe the odd song but that's about it!

Yeah, I have come across some iffy booklets in the past. That wouldn't determine whether it was worth buying the CD or not but I'd sure as hell be disappointed if I had to pay Ã'£15 on one album and they didn't have the courtesy to make a nice booklet to go along with it.

Exactly. I've seen some booklets that only had the cover and some picture on the back. The "inside" of the booklet was just blank. WTF?

Shame I can't really mark down an album just for having a poor CD booklet. :P

BTW, how did we have a debate about music videos without even mentioning Immortal?

I don't know?

We are really not ourselves lately.

And this is why dragons are generally angry. :P

>:(

See, they have reasons to be angry unlike you. :P

What's up? Did I break the program, by reaching 30k? :(

It is alright to blame you in this case?

You have my autobiography?

Didn't know there was one. If it's been written, I'll give it a nose.

Can't say it'll be too exciting in compared to others. You already know me anyway.

At least you're getting something from it. For those shitty volunteer placements I had, it gave me absolutely nothing and doing 100 hours of it means fuck all to employers.

Yeah, currently I'm getting a reputation of being the worst captain we've ever had, a winless record and a massively bruised foot.

Dear god man, what have you done?!

To top it all off, tomorrow, I have to go to my brother's wedding. I wasn't looking forward to tomorrow, as I don't like my brother, let alone the fat slag that he is marrying. But hey, who am I to stand in the way. Just limp through it, try not to scowl during the photos and hope that the escape committee comes up with the goods, so that I can escape at a reasonable hour.

So you're going to attend it in the end.

I didn't buy a damn thing from the sales and I'm proud of that.

LOL! You're a cheeky bugger Coop. You got a hearty laugh out of me, for real. Because honestly I read the

Coop struggles to get his shoe on (cricket injury), before congratulating

comment and thought, Ooh! I must ask how he injured himself, (probably from cricket) then I read on and had a good laugh. Not at the fact that you got injured, just that you pre-empted my interest/response. How astute of you. Nice bowling figures for a short spell too. Good job.

Isn't that 2 weeks in a row that your team has copped an absolute flogging? Sounds like your team needs to hit the nets for some much needed batting practice. Hang in there, bad luck always eventually changes to good luck sooner or later.

Off topic. 4 days left until the Olympics Games start. I can't wait. I still think England and Australia are going to have their best results ever. To Bahamut, I know your totally uninterested in the Olympics, so I will keep my enthusiasm and Olympic posts to the bare minimum.

It's incredible this thread has been active for a decade now.
