But it looks like what are CDs are really books on disc. Are there actually any cds on that wall?

Plenty of them. Box sets and single disks in wraps. And DVDs as well. What Brian doesn't realise is that this photo, printed and autographed by Mr. Heymann, is to be sent to Harry along with the room.

Well to make a end to this discussion I have far more CD'S than Klaus, ask him, he knows me.  ;D ;D ;D

I'm quite in the middle of a spending spree, and it does certainly feel like I'm on a binge.

I've gotta say that the stuff I'm getting is mind blowing good, so I'm having trouble feeling really really bad about it all, but I think (hope) I'm getting to the end of this particular flareup.

I haven't had really any festering urges to buy CDs lately, though I did go on a little Bartok shopping spree, but I've been wanting to hear these recordings for some time. My next purchase isn't going to be a CD but a video game: The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword. I can't wait to play this!

I AM feeling slightly feverish lately about getting as much stuff as I can possibly handle. Maybe part of it is that I'm waiting for my sis in London to send me this cd I had to get mailed to her place (because of Germany's exemplary shipping charges!), and the wait is quite something, so I need to fill in all those empty mailbox days with... SOMETHING!!

Ah, I'm just a bit exhausted with things lately. I just want to curl up into my bellybutton, meaning, I just want to become TOTALLY self absorbed, and self please... and buy, Buy, BUY!!

But WOW,... when the Crash comes,... it COMES!! :'( :'( :'(

OK, I surrender for the year. Stockhausen was the last straw, haha! I have an embarrassment of riches, I best not take them for granted. Hibernation time.

For anyone struggling out there: buy three times as much as you normally would, and hopefully that will keep you through till Feb-March. ;)

I know what you mean. I think sometimes I think I bite off more than I can chew, but you know what? It's so much damn fun!!! :D 8)

Yikes, CDCDCD has totally got me by the short hairs here this Season, as I go ho ho ho-honkin crazy with the spending cash!! :o :o :o :o

I thought a 'just get stuff now and then we can stop for the new year' strategy would work, but now I'm just hyperventilating trying to get ALL this stuff... and I don't even know what I want. I'm just in a spending frenzy with no real brains to go with it. AHHHH!!!!

In my mind I keep seeing myself snorting huge lines... that's kind of what this must feel like(whaaat???).

No rest for the wicked, eh? Yeeesh ::)

HELP!!

Save the money... download what you can and buy the rest. Eventually, you'll have so much that the compulsion will weaken, at least hopefully...

Now, Haydn, on the other hand . . . .

Haydn can (will) slowly bleed you to death. :-\  Nice way to go though. :)

Don't I know it. I bought one Kuijken symphony disc. Thought that would suffice. But    :-[  ...the rest are now enroute. And really, who needs more than one complete set of Haydn trios? Really, who? ...and yet, the 1790 box has now been ordered. For me it's not about the money. It's where to put it all!
