Yeah, huh ... was just talking with someone about that the other day. I actually just got in from one of those conventions. No vinyl this time though, pretty lame today, just a couple used ceedees in BROKEN jewel cases. I hate those things! Jewel cases, ha! A lotta them don't even make it into my house. If I know I'm going shopping for CDs I'll take along some plastic or vinyl sleeves that I keep mine in and the cases get tossed in garbage soon as I get out of the car. Too many CDs to keep em in jewel cases anymore ... sheesh ... on top of the bloody stinky albums in my possession ... running outta space ... but isn't that a great smell ... used record shops are the best! I walk in ... that aroma hits me ... I'm rejuvenated! Unrelated story ...well, it's a vinyl story anyway ... there're certain pieces I own, both on vinyl and CD that are *important* ... important in many ways but pieces that when I pick and look at I can remember who I was with the day I bought it, stuff like that. Anyway ... I just pulled out my copy of "The Lamb Lies Down On Broadway" by Genesis the other day ... you know the one ... the one with the blood stains on it. WOT, yr's isn't bloodstained? Man ... as soon as I pulled that out the day I bought that thing came rushing over me ... the blood happened in my pal's Mom's Buick station wagon out in the student paking lot at my high school the day I bought the damn album. I cut classes, borrowed Tom's ride and tooled down to Mother's Music Emporium to buy that the day it came out... ...that's one thing I don't remember, if it was a Tuesday or not. ;-) Anyway ... as I was trying to crack the shrink wrap along the sleeve opening I managed to slice the knuckle on my fourth(is it)(next to the pinky) finger/right hand and the thing would NOT stop bleeding ... all over the album ... all over Mrs. Wodzenski's seats and carpeting ... just kept on bleeding like mad ... that's also the day I got busted ... hadda go back into the school and I got nailed for cutting ... but I got a story out of it! Okay ...since it's already Monday down in 'stralia ... who won the Superbowl? later ...m Let's keep vinyl alive! ===== Sleep Well ~ Don't Burst http://www.mitchworldusa.net __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
