I bought the last Husker Du album my store had to offer today.

/me high fives Zappa, and Nacho

Husker Du was just one of the many, many artists that every shop I went to today seemed to be sold out of, or pricing far too high.

What did you end up purchasing?

I just got 1 rep point, on a post that I made over a year ago... :amaze:

Crazy kids.

Haha. You lucky guy.

It's stormy outside.

I'm so tired. 2 nights ago, I had a movie night with some mates and that went all night. Then I couldn't sleep the next night and today I had to do 12 ks of walking and then I had to walk my dog after I got home.

That's wickidy wickidy whack. Go to bed my man.

Well, I'm off shopping.

I've invited the mixtape girl, but I don't know whether she's coming yet. :-*

Yeah, Husker Du cds are all 15 and up around here.

It sucks.

But I got both Pavement Reissue for 9 dollars each so I can't say anything

[QUOTE=Zappa]What did you end up purchasing?[/QUOTE]

Me? I ended up getting nothing by Husker Du. Good though they may be, I'm not going to spend £16 on any CD I'll conceivably find in the stores available to me. Especially not when there was a Gang of Four album right next to it for £8.

I didn't mean by Husker Du, I meant overall, since their CDs were too pricey.

My shopping trip yeilded the following albums.

Tom Waits - Bone Machine
Jeff Buckley - Sketches For Your Sweetheart The Drunk (I lost Disc 2 ages ago, and only had it on CD-R anyway)
Dead Prez - Let's Get Free
Miles Davis - Porgy & Bess
Def Leppard - Best Of

The Def Leppard album was for my sister. The other 4 cost me a total of under £25. Not bad, huh?

[QUOTE=Zappa]I didn't mean by Husker Du, I meant overall, since their CDs were too pricey.[/QUOTE]

Oh ok. I ended up with;

The Blueprint - Phenomenology
Gang of Four - Solid Gold/Another Day, Another Dollar
Kaada/Patton - Romances

Plus a Dave Gorman DVD. Pathetically little, considering how long I spent looking.

That album is awesome. :thumb:

I just finished the novel "Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?" by Philip K. Dick. I haven't read a whole book that wasn't for school since I was in elementary school. It was cool.

Haha. I finished up Mostly Harmless recently, which is the 5th part in the Hitchiker's series. I started Closing Time by Joseph Heller, but got bored.

^^I'm reading Catch 22 right now.

Books are awesome. I'm reading Anthony Kiedis' autobiography at the moment, and I also have two Terry Pratchetts on my 'to read' pile.

[QUOTE=RIPJoeStrummer]^^I'm reading Catch 22 right now.[/QUOTE]
See, that's my favourite book, which is why I tried to read Closing Time. But meh.

I also have Memnoch The Devil by Anne Rice, but I probably won't start reading it, since it's due back pretty soon.

So how did that go?

:wave:
Hello everyone how's it goin?

Hello, oh new person. How is it with you?

Is Dead Prez the group that has the song " I ain't 'fraid to die, I ain't got sh[I]i[/I]t to lose, I'm sick and tired of living in a world full of booze!"

Because the band is hilarious

it is good, yesh ima new
ima at work right now... kinda bored and just finished watching a movie.. hehe at work.. i love this job
how's it goin with you?

[QUOTE=The Ashtray Girl]So how did that go?[/QUOTE]
She didn't show. Which sucks, because I really wanted to talk to her. But I just sent her an e-mail saying my piece. I wanted to do it face-to-face, but - for personal reasons - doing it before New Years was more important.

Now I wait on the response.

And listen to Miles Davis. I may well end up preferring this (Porgy & Bess) to Sketches Of Spain, which is currently my favourite jazz record. Stunning stuff.

The Dead Prez album rules too. I'm just getting to the end of the 'Today' side.

To everyone that was talking about books earlier in up the page:

Do you ever bail out in the middle of a book to start another one? I tend to find myself doing that a lot.

currently, I'm reading:

The Elegant Universe by Brian Greene
Long Day's Journey Into Night by Eugene O'Neill
Hearts in Atlantis by Stephen King
and Faithful by Stewart O'Nan/Stephen King

I need some more books. My Dad has sooo many but all the ones he gives me, I find boring.

I used to love reading. But i haven't had the time recently. I've been reading Robinson Crusoe for the last few months. Not a lot happens, but i find it a good book to escape into.

New avatar. It's Mark Sandman, most famous (though not famous enough) for his vocals and 2-string bass playing with the band Morphine. Cool.

My Creative Zen is so cool. :D

I couldn't finish Catch 22, by the way.

Am I the only one who gets those "problem with the database"-messages a lot today?

I get them a lot every day. MX goes down like whoa.

I'm reading Catch-22 right now, after having just finished "Slaughterhouse-Five" by Kurt Vonnegut. Vonnegut's a good author; very unorthodox.

I don't get them that often, but today I have almost not been able to browse at all. It's either that, or the page won't load. I get alot of non-loading from my MX pages, not oly today.

Seriously, MX is easily the slowest site of the sites I visit frequently.

So no one wants to praise my awesome avatar, even for its execution, if not for the awesomeness of the subject matter?

yeah i gotten them too... that's why i couldnt get on early it just keep saying something was wrong... hmmm... but i still come back

The site is not open.....
It's down again!
It's down again!
