Bought some CDs today.

What do you mean? You don't like them? I don't really like much hard music if you haven't noticed and they're reasonably low-key in their newer stuff. Californication is probably my favorite album by them.

I already own Oh you're so Silent Jens.

Well. I had like 4,000 songs on my computer, quite a few of which I've never listened to ever. These were mostly from P2P/irc etc. with some stuff from Itunes as well. My hard drive failed. I have a pretty serious headphone setup now and it's just 100,000 times easier to get exactly what I want this way, and I'm not downloading 5 copies of 1 song or waiting 6 weeks for another one.

Also some of this stuff is like near-impossible to get via P2P eg Califone.

Almost all of them are new. A couple weren't even carried by Amazon(to give you an idea of how hard they are to obtain) so I had to buy them used through the new/used section of Amazon, whatever it's called.

I didn't mean anything about downloading, I meant why didn't you buy a lot of them used? You can get most CD's pretty damn cheap and a lot of them are brand new.

[StrictlyStrategy]

Oh. Damn.

Haha. I wasn't really looking but most of them on Amazon were like $14 or something and a lot of them said buy used from $8.99 or something. A $200 difference here doesn't make a ton of difference to me and they'll all work.

I do enjoy going to FYE sometimes and just buying the redtag CDs(used) I've found some good bands that way.

Mostly horrible ones though. [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]

I buy all my media used, no reason to purchase it new. Urban Hymns was a medicore cd, after hearing Bitter Sweet Symphony it was below my expectations for the band.

RHCP - you've heard all the songs hundreds of times, I'd advice against it.

Try David Bowie - Low, it's not something you may like, but its different from what you have in your cart.

Strictly,

I've only had one cd that gave me trouble in the several hundred closing in on one-thousand albums I've purchased.
