The Top 5 List Thread

[Bloopy]

5 fun music format firsts:

1st cassette I got (excluding children's stories etc.): Billy Joel - The River of Dreams
1st CD I got: Backstreet Boys - Backstreet's Back (thanks Uncle Neil)
1st vinyl record I got: Headless Chickens - Expecting to Fly
1st shellac record I got (and only so far): International Novelty Quartet - Słodkie Fijołki
1st mp3 I downloaded: Bad Religion - Chasing the Wild Goose, most likely. I still vaguely remember the list of mp3 links, so it was probably the first such website I found.

5 most painful things that suck and/or are shit

...that I experienced as an adult would be something like:

1. Thigh muscle cramp
2. Calf muscle cramp
3. Bruised rib - due to longevity... not sure if it was fractured at the time, but it's the bruise that hurts rather than the break in my experience - sore for 1 month and then 2 months later someone elbowed me gently on the exact fucking spot and it was sore again for another 2 months
4. Nasal cauterisation - noticeably more painful than the nose & sinus surgery the week prior that led to this shit
5. Well ok, yeah, living, especially when I had a week of depression from post-traumatic stress once

1st 45: Richmond VFL Football Club theme song
1st 78: If The Man In The Moon Were A Coon - Tommy Dorsey and his Clambake 7
1st MP3: Pretty sure it was Metallica straight off Naptser to piss Lars off. (obviously my download was the one that broke him!)

1st mp3: probably something from Slayer...I went nuts on Napster and then Audiogalaxy for a while there in the earls 2000s.

 

[no country for old wainds]

lol that's such a random 1st dvd

i was a little late for napster but i used so much other shit for downloading over the years. audiogalaxy, kazaa, imesh, soulseek, direct connect, winmx, morpheus, limewire, emule, torrents, random blogs with rapidshare/megaupload/mediafire links.... i feel like i used p much all of these at one point or another. i liked audiogalaxy 'cause it actually had a website you could browse.

I downloaded almost every metal, punk & industrial/weird mp3 that New Zealand artists had shared on mp3.com. I also went nuts on Napster, and when that went down I preferred audioGnome and also discovered all the mp3 sharing going on in IRC servers. I kept sharing music on UnderNet on IRC for more than a decade I think!

The 1st DVD I got was The Exorcist while visiting Japan as a teen in 1999. Then since I was terrible at Japanese I momentarily panicked that it might not have the English audio and bothered a hotel maid who was nearby, but she just thought I wanted to watch it on the tiny CRT TV in the room. I had no idea about DVD regions at the time, but on our PC at home you could change regions a few times before it locked so no problem watching it. Once we got a DVD player I soon learnt from a friend that you could just go online and look up unlock sequences to punch into the remote and make your player region-free.

1st DVD: Shadow of the Vampire

What the fuck. I have no clue what mine was.

Return of the Living Dead from one of those bootleg DVD stalls they used to have in sketchy malls, maybe.

 

[Slammed]

I was thinking the same thing when I read it. I know the first one I watched was Titanic because we watched it on a drunken deep sea fishing trip off Newcastle one night. But I didn't own a DVD player until about 2002. It did come with a few DVD's but I don't remember what they were.
