Broke again?

Have only listened once, on low level and quite inattentively; will come back on it.

Yes, you got it in one - 'broke again'  :D

I admit I can feel a tug of war going on in me. Gulp. Thankfully there is no way of acting out on my impulses. Whew.

ok, so there IS this one cd, and it seems to be out of print, but it shouldn't be (there are a few overtly priced copies out there), so I call the company, and they say, Yes, we have ONE copy left on the shelf,... we'll sell it to you for $30!!! Ahhhh,... so,... we end up talking,... but now I'm obsessing on this cd, which wasn't all that important to me, but now is like some fairy princess I must rescue,... oy, CDCDCD can be a boitch!

Well, it's like this:

This one cd (well call it D6) that's been on The List, well, it's between $100-200 anywhere you go. So, I go to the website, and I'm looking, and it appears that I can still get it from them.

Ok, hey,... it's only $14.99 plus shipping. Nawwww, let's just call them and make sure.

So I call them, and yes!, they say they have ONE copy left on the warehouse shelf (1998 issue)! So I'mk like, well siiiign me up!, and she says, it's $30!!! :o,... and, after a minute of wtf I figure she can charge what she wants,... sooo,... I had to go hustle some money and order the last cd of this quite classic avant cd.

I'll admit it's all quite typical of the CDCDCD that one must jump through these hoops, and sacrifice actual food for our vanity!

So, anyhow, in a way, you can't really say that I've bought anything yet since this was Emergency Retrieval and not just a purchase of an Available Title. Well, you decide for yourself! ;)



Other than that, I did buy a $1.49 cd.

I think you need an intervention!  ;)   Of course, the other thing you could do is write a world famous best seller about your struggles with addiction... 8)
Be kind to your fellow posters!!

They're telling me I have more money in the bank than I should.

Is that EVER a good thing?

ayyyy...

I'm in a full blown CDCDCD Episode.

ayyyy...

Never underestimate the power of not getting what you want, WHEN you want it, to send you into a spiral of depravity.

ayyyy...

Plus, I'm ordering everything from overseas, so, haha, I feel like Herbert Lom in the Pink Panther movies.

It's almost April.

...ok, that one I technically got in December. And, the other one, that one also I 'bought' in December.

The two Stravinsky 2fers, and the Avant Piano disc,... three purchases???? :o since January???? :o


Either I'm very ill, or,... gulp,... I'm 'there'. :o :o (cue: Scary Orchestra Hit)


I'm not even really excited to hear anything. :o :o


I might just,... gasp,... listen to something I've got,... oh no!,.... maybe something I DON'T like!! :o :o


Lately, I've heard some really nice music I didn't even know I had. ...hmmm...

That reminds me of an old saying I heard:

"The best way to give up cigarettes is to stop smoking."

So translated into your situation:

"The best way to stop buying CD's is to...now wait for it...stop buying CD's!!!"

I can sympathise, I feel quite a bit of classical music overload at the moment, although I have never been as big a collector in the league of some of the members here...

Well, I did it.

In one fell swoop, I got Mozart PTs and PQ4ts, Mendelssohn PTs, Schubert PTs, Brahms PTs, and Brahms PQ4ts,... aaand a Ginastera disc. I don't think there's more, but, you know how things go when the fur starts to fly! 8)

But seriously, most of these things were under $5, so, I actually got a good chunk of Romantic Chamber Music for cheap. In all, 10 discs for $50. That's pretty good if you ask me.

And, can you really consider only versions of WarHorses a CDCDCD problem? I though not! Everrryone needs to have these,...rrrright!?! :-*

So, I did nothing wrong...







...right? ???

What I need is a CD indulgence. At some cost, preferably nominal, I could purchase freedom from guilt for the CDs I buy in the future!

"Oh, what pleasures!" (Handel, Alexander Balus)
If I have exhausted the justifications, I have reached bedrock and my spade is turned. Then I am inclined to say: "This is simply what I do."  --Wittgenstein, PI ยง217
