[QUOTE=King_Of_Terrors]I'm getting f[FONT=Arial]u[/FONT]cking tired of this sh[FONT=Arial]i[/FONT][FONT=Verdana]t.[/FONT]

I made a huge write up on Vision Divine, and when I clicked "Post Thread" I wasn't logged in. If I don't post for 10 minutes, then it automatically logs me out, and I'm getting really really pissed off.[/QUOTE]

yeah that kind of is irking me. But we can't let that bring us down, it's Christmas.. or Chanukah.. or Kwanza (I think?).

Just out of curiosity, what is about the average cost of CD's where you live?

King_Of_Terrors 12-25-2005 11:58 AM

I bought three CDs yesterday, Dark Tranquillity, Bodom, and Nile.

[QUOTE=Butcher]Just out of curiosity, what is about the average cost of CD's where you live?[/QUOTE]In southeastern Michigan, they cost about $15 on average (since I've seen them anywhere from $10 to $20 for single discs). It depends on where you get them, really. At Borders, they're expensive, but cheaper if you get them at Sam Goody, etc.

edit: :upset: I thought it was a general question.

Yeah, California is expensive, CD wise too. It's hard for me to find any CD for less that 13 dollars. Sam Goody is expensive where I live. I spent 17 bucks Pantera's GSTK. Even the smaller business where I live charge a pretty penny. But I got some money, so I don't mind spending that much cash on CDs.

Aw3someman 12-25-2005 12:10 PM

CD's here in Florida cost like $5 if they're old enough. I got Slayer's Reign in Blood a couple days ago for $6.99

halfdeadhippo 12-25-2005 12:15 PM

Yeah, by $10, I was referring to jazz cd's and other non-rock/rap/pop/country type stuff. Basically, it's the stuff that they won't make much money on anyway.

Mr. M, Man of Muzak 12-25-2005 12:48 PM

Stuff I got

New surround sound stereo system
New Car Stereo
1 Iron Maiden Shirt
Yet another Pink Floyd shirt
$30 gift card to Sound Shop
Various other stuff

I gave
My mom: Earrings, Sigur Ros (), and another CD
My Dad: Command and Conquer Generals, Half Life 1, Call of Duty Expansion (He just got a new laptop, and he is going to the Middle East for 4 months)
My Brothers: Guitar Hero

Magicaltroll 12-25-2005 01:15 PM

I just thought I'd say Merry Christmas to everyone in here, though I never post in here :p

Maybe now is the time to start...

Anyway, time to brag about what I got.
I got an Epiphone Les Paul guitar :D It's sweet. It's a major improvement from my 6 year old Ibanez I had. And I also got a CD player, with some rechargable batteries (which are very nice, I'm glad they got them).

And I got about 300$ from my grandma.
Which I'm probably going to use for a multi-track recording "workstation".

So this Christmas rules, majorly.

Mazeppa 12-25-2005 01:28 PM

omg!:amaze:
My dad just goes and brings me in a brand new stereo system for my room! So yes, I fully agree with this comment:

Aw3someman 12-25-2005 01:49 PM

I found my presents early so i knew what i was getting. A brand new KH-602 ESP and a 75-watt Line 6 Spider II. My parents also gave me Megadeth's Rude Awakening and Rusted Pieces. Plus Metallica's Live S[I]h[/I]it: Binge and Purge.
So hell yes Christmas kicks this year.

Josh 12-25-2005 01:53 PM

merry christmas mx. well, dinner was about...6 hours ago and i'm still absoloutely stuffed, so no tea needed :). i didn't get much - books, a jacket, socks, and money, but my bro got a scalextric set and the only place in the house where there's space to set it up is in my room :). anyway, sales start tomorrow, and as it's my birthday in 13days i'm gonna wait til after then and go shopping.

EDIT: my dad just told me that even though the new car's mine already, it counts as a present :D

Magicaltroll 12-25-2005 01:58 PM

My little brother got a [I]drumset[/I] too!
I think I'll be enjoying it more than him though :p

Jev 12-25-2005 02:32 PM

[QUOTE=metal guitar]That sounds excellent, happy Christmas.[/QUOTE]
Only thing is I can't tune the fecking thing to make it sound alright.

Shred Danson 12-25-2005 02:41 PM

Didn't get much.

Well, my rythym guitarist's mom got me a wireless system for my guitar, which is pretty damn cool. I didn't make much of a list so no one knew what to get me :p I really don't care anyway; I don't want people spending too much money on me...though I am eager to see what my girlfriend got me (we have our special little Christmas next Saturday. Awwww.).

What? That sounds awesome, it looks like great fun playing without a lead.

[QUOTE=Happy]Only thing is I can't tune the fecking thing to make it sound alright.[/QUOTE]
When my drummer got his new kit, the entire band had to go help put it together and tune it etc; and we have four people in our band so yeah good luck with that.

Well I put it together fine. I just arranged for one of my mates who's a good drummer to come round and tune it for me tomorrow.

Merry Christmas guys.

So, for those of you who celebrate Christmas, was it a good day for you?

It was alright. Got up at 6, opened presents, went to bed. Got up again at 12. Played a little singstar (the final countdown :D) then i set up my drumkit. Now here I am.

i got up at 9.30 and opened presents, then i had to go look after the horses. then both lots of grandparents came round, and had dinner. since then i've done...not much, just played scalextric, read a bit, and watched tv. not a bad day i suppose. i have to be up at 7 tomorrow though.

Jev 12-25-2005 03:53 PM

Scalextric? Man I'm jealous. I always wanted one of those. The year I got one my mum said it was too big and put it away. Never saw it again.
