The First Step...
...to recovery is admitting you are an addict. My name is Mr. Eff and I'm an cd buying addict.
I hate the record industry and am someone who would love to see the abolition of copyright and patents. However, even though I KNOW that my cd buying benefits the record labels more than the artists, I keep buying those magical plastic discs. I like to have/hold the cds. I like to read the liner notes.
The blame can be placed squarely on the fact that I now have free time and a steady paycheck. There are so many bands that I missed over the last 30 years, and it seems that I am determined to catch up on what I missed before the summer is over. My latest cd purchase had me pick up:
'Something About Airplanes' -- Death Cab For Cutie
'In the Aeroplane Over the Sea' -- Neutral Milk Hotel
'B.R.M.C' -- Black Rebel Motorcycle Club
'Sing Sing Death House' and 'The Distillers' -- The Distillers
'Tiger Army' -- Tiger Army
'Return of the Loving Dead' -- Nekromantix
I know I should download the albums and make sure that they are good, but I haven't even been doing that. I'm sick, I tell you!
In other news, I just bought tickets to three rock shows over the next month: Death Cab for Cutie, Black Rebel Motorcycle Club, and Interpol. I may see if I can drag some friends along, but if not, I'll just be a crazy man and go by myself.
Good times.
