blind-fitter 0 Posted May 25, 2010 Report Share Posted May 25, 2010 On Friday, I chanced upon a vinyl LP by The Shamen entitled "Strange Day Dreams"; originally released in 1988, it's a collection of their early material from when they were a psychedelic indie-rock band,i.e. before they discovered and incorporated hip-hop beats, acid-house, rave stylings, etc. A cracking bargain for the paltry sum of £1. Today, I finally managed to spend the £10 Jumbo Records voucher given to me by my work colleague as a gesture of gratitude, when I had given her American husband a lift up from London to Leeds about a month ago. (After visiting his folks in the States, he had been stranded there an extra week due to the Icelandic volcano eruption, so arrived back in London a week later than originally planned, with no ticket back to Leeds.) The albums I bought in Jumbo were: "Holiday" - The Magnetic Fields A bit of a shot in the dark: I really like The Magnetic Fields "69 Love Songs", but it is a triple album, so I don't know whether another Magnetic Fields album is what I really need. Listened to quite a bit of it on my way back to work. Sounds quite nice. Kind of like what would happen if Scott Walker got together with The Jesus And Mary Chain with the intention of making camp but classy synth-pop. "Kaleidoscope" - Siouxsie & The Banshees This one of my favourite Banshees albums; I've had it for donkey's years on vinyl, but it'll be nice to finally have it on CD, so I can listen to it whenever I like.

Farin 2 Posted May 28, 2010 Report Share Posted May 28, 2010 or did you just take your laptop with you and ripped them there? Link to post Share on other sites
Viaene 0 Posted May 28, 2010 Report Share Posted May 28, 2010 ^That would save you time and distance, plus the cd remains available for other costumers, win-win! Link to post Share on other sites
TheLizard 1 Posted May 28, 2010 Report Share Posted May 28, 2010 I actually took them all out. The look on the librarian's face when I plopped that stack of CDs on the counter was priceless. Link to post Share on other sites

TheLizard 1 Posted May 29, 2010 Report Share Posted May 29, 2010 I can access them whenever I want. That's what a computer with the capability to burn CDs is for. All that music is now just a mouse click away. Link to post Share on other sites
Ombre Vivante 0 Posted May 29, 2010 Report Share Posted May 29, 2010 But I'd have to buy the blank cds, the cd cases, special paper for the cover and labels, colour ink for the cover and labels, a large external hard-drive (500GB or more), not to mention if my computer or hard-drive crashes, then I'd be f***ed. I drop $300 on a set of cds, cassettes, or lps, and I'm done Link to post Share on other sites

Ombre Vivante 0 Posted May 29, 2010 Report Share Posted May 29, 2010 And cheaper. I coulda probably saved another $10K this year if it weren't for my penchant for buying up music, videos, and books Link to post Share on other sites
RockyRaccoon 0 Posted May 31, 2010 Report Share Posted May 31, 2010 Or you could just do it all illegally. But I don't know anything about that Link to post Share on other sites
Ombre Vivante 0 Posted May 31, 2010 Report Share Posted May 31, 2010 You know that if you go into a store with the intent to steal, some police will push for burglary charges - a felony; I've seen it done. A felony could affect my legal status here in the US. This hobby costs money, but it ain't gonna break the bank Link to post Share on other sites

Ombre Vivante 0 Posted May 31, 2010 Report Share Posted May 31, 2010 Ah. I do use torrents and such, but that's only when the album is outta print and if the music is at least 392kbps (or in wav or flac format) Link to post Share on other sites
RockyRaccoon 0 Posted June 1, 2010 Report Share Posted June 1, 2010 Agreed. P2P is the way to go! Not literally stealing. That's illegal! Link to post Share on other sites
