i have a few mp3s here and there...no whole albums though.
i still buy cds. i never stopped buying cds and i never will stop buying them. i like buying cds, i like spending my money for something i love, whoever it goes to - whatever-cause ultimately it helps ME to have the cd to listen to
i spilt coffee all over my 'sentenced-north from here' cd booklet at waffle house one time. i go there all the time and the waitress knows me, and she grabbed it with a big stupid smile and threw it on a waffle iron (a shut waffle iron. the waffle was inside you know....hehe) i thought "AH! SENTENCED is going to go up IN FLAMES! and then i laughed. and the booklet was dry but fucked up. so i will probably buy the cd again. im ANAL like that about my cds.
hmm....
maybe i shouldve written this on the phobia thread-this is a horrible phobia i have-
ok i imagine i am maybe 40-60 years old, and i want to hear an opeth album. (and theres no telling what ill be like up the road. like-if im still into metal(i better be! you all kick my ass if you see me and im like...a nun. hehe!), if ill still an artist- or if ill even be me anymore!) so it could be a matter of going into some dusty attic and digging out an opeth cd from box, or it could be just grabbing 'orchid' from a stack of cds cause i still listen to it-who knows.
well, ive heard cds erase after so many years-that like the glue encoding shit something i dont know fucks up. ive heard it from people and i read it once in magazine from work, and considered that reliable.....well ive also heard that maybe after like 200 years or something so maybe i shouldnt worry about it but im crazy.

blahblahbalh.
well, being more realistic-maybe the fucking thing would just be scratched, just fucked up somehow. whatever. maybe all my boxes of cds just got fucked up somehow...and they wont play.
before panicing im sure id go try to order them, and then id be one of those people that i encounter at work a lot. theyre older but cool in that you can look at them and tell they arent going to ask for the new manheim steamroller christmas album way(AH!), and they say "im looking for something old"
(and in my head im like 'damn, were not gonna have this')
"its an old 60's group, chad and jeremy"
(hehe last time someone asked it was really about chad and jeremy

lol-british invasion)
and so i looked, we didnt have it and so we order it. now we will probably get chad and jeremy. but many of these 'old' cds we try to find for people are deleted, are out of print, or are just not even in the books. like they never existed .....
one day opeth will be 'one of those old groups (hehe-from the swedish invasion?)" is what im saying, and if my cds dont work or i cant find their music anywhere-i will be one very upset person. an emotional mess.
if you read all of that, im sorry. ;P
it was pretty pointess
