Ahhhh...

Last year we had an ice storm that covered every thing in 4-6 inches of ice, and it might happen again since its like 25 degrees outside.

At least that would be interesting.
In Scotland, we never get extremes of weather, just permanetly c[size=2]r[/size]ap weather all the time.

Wasn't interesting at all haha, it sucked.

I was stuck in the house for a week, could not even walk out onto my porch 2 feet away from my front door with out the 4 inches of ice. And to top it off the power was out for about a week and had a hell of a mess to clean up afterwards of all the fallen trees and sapplings.

Not when I'm there, I bring the sunshine with me. St. Andrews is beautiful in August. I got pissed on the old course at 5 am. Well done me.

[hint] questions go in the ask questions thread[/hint]
The site goes down either to bandwidth issues or the configuration of the site. Hopefully now the situation will be improved.

3 Wildhearts cds!! I envy you :upset:
I muchly prefer Ben Harper's live stuff to studio stuff, it just has much more energy.
Marvin Gaye is a classic, I know I already said it but I got his 2 disc best of for £9.99 :)

All in all a good haul :thumb:

How much did that lot cost you?!?!?

Those three are just three I needed for rounding out my collection of Wildhearts stuff. I have a retarded amount of Wildhearts stuff.

[QUOTE=magik]I muchly prefer Ben Harper's live stuff to studio stuff, it just has much more energy.[/QUOTE]

Yeah. Live From Mars is an amazing album, but I've already got it so I decided to go for this. Fancied hearing a studio version of Burn One Down, for one thing.

[QUOTE=magik]

I was pleased :)

[QUOTE=Burdcheese]How much did that lot cost you?!?!?[/QUOTE]

All together, about £108; £6.75 on average.. Only the three Wildhearts ones were close to full price (they cost £34).

How I envy someone able to spend that much on music...

^It was only a fiver, and it's on the Rolling Stone 500 list, so if nothing else it's review fodder :)

This is my Christmas money being spent.

[QUOTE=Bartender]This is my Christmas money being spent.[/QUOTE]

How I envy someone given Christmas money :p

I bought 36 Crazy Fists - A Snow Capped Romance, Iced Earth - Night of the Stormrider and In Flames - The Jester Race.

All are good.

I haven't had the chance to listen to any of mine yet, as I'm busy watching the Naked Gun boxed set I also bought.

[QUOTE=Burdcheese]How I envy someone given Christmas money :p[/QUOTE]

Even though I didn't get any CDs or anything besides it? :)

People end up giving me money instead of cds, because no one has any idea what cds I have/want.

Actually I'm not sure if even I know what cds I have. I'm pretty sure that I've bought Silverchair - Diorama twice now...

EDIT: I spelt it right the second time round

Man, i cant explain how suprised i was when i took that 36 Crazy Fists album home and realised it was good.

I've got to wonder why you bought it, then? :)

[QUOTE=munky_magik]People end up giving me money instead of cds, because no one has any idea what cds I have/want.[/QUOTE]

Same here. It's more or less at my request, because I'd much rather forgo the pleasure of opening presents if it also means avoiding returning a dozen or more CDs.

Do what I do; list them! Just for yourself, to keep track of them. I used to just do it in text documents, but (much as I hate to admit it) [url]www.rateyourmusic.com[/url] seems to be your best bet.

that's a good long term project, but it won't help me that much when I get blinded by cheap cds. Any cd for £5 is jsut asking me to buy it, It's like mind control or something

EDIT: I've decided that the best thing The Simpsons have ever done is "The Raiders of the Lost Ark" parody. Genius :)

I listed all my CDs in the last two days, because I have no life (and only 300 CDs). The compare feature is fun, too.

I know what you mean about cheap CDs, though. I narrowly avoided breaking the 20 CD barrier today, by forcing myself to put back several CDs I picked up early on.

:amaze: the Willpower you must have!

Well I'm not buying any CDs till after my birthday (enfranchised in 11 days :D)
I've drawn up a long list of all those I want so my friends have gift ideas :smoke:

Birthdays are good for expanding your collection ;).

I got [B]70[/B] cds around X mas and still haven't heard them all.

Edit: Just counted them all up and the finale count is 116

70? I got about 6 through spending my own money

Schyma, how did you get all of those again?

Well I told you guys about the 1st 70 but I also gained about 40 more from a 2nd trip.

I have about 150 cds at the moment. :)

The majority of the cds that i buy are under 10 dollars. I'm a bargain hunter, unless it's something that i want very much.

*has about 260 cds* :)

I dont buy many Cds 90% of my cds came to me free.

Edit: I have 200 burned Cds

I only have about 5 burned cds, I much prefer having the real copies over anything burned.

Me too but Im beginning to buy cds as of late.

I just got a free record player from my trip to Mexico. I only have LA Woman though.
