but i have to work, and there's no way i can get out of it.

life sucks sometimes.

:mad: :mad: :mad:
 
DrTeeth: Were you at the Franz Ferdinand gig last Monday?

Albums bought: Just a new album by some band called U2. Quite like it! :wink:

Albums I received at work: Too much crap to mention.
 
Since that last post I made I've bought all three Vertigo singles (when they finally arrived from Germany a few days late! :rolleyes: )

... and I've just got these as early birthday presents:

R.E.M.: Around The Sun :D:up:

R.E.M.: In Time: The Best Of R.E.M. 1988-2003 :D:up:

and

The 'Brother Bear' soundtrack :cute:
 
I don't think I've told you about the Mega Record & CD Fair yet, have I?
I went to that one yesterday. They have it twice a year - in March/April and in October/November (dates can change). When I went in March I bought a lot of great stuff (Aretha Franklin & Smokie Robinson boxsets, rare U2 books, etc.) so I expected a lot of it yesterday.
Well, one way or the other, yesterday's experience wasn't as good as last one's. I don't know exactly why. Maybe it is because I had to pay to get in (last time somehow I got in for free). Or because the stand that sold these incredible boxsets for low prices last time didn't have as good a selection as last time (I mean, the Phil Spector boxset for 30 euro is a superb deal... only I already have that one. And I can't be bothered by a Genesis archive boxset, etc.). Still, I did not get home empty-handed. Because I did find the Vertigo 12" single for a good price and a bunch of other stuff.

Here's what I took home:
U2 - Vertigo (12" single)
Pearl Jam - Merkinball (single, but upon getting home I saw that it was a cutout :( )
Tröckener Kecks - Veel Te Veel Water (single)
Texas - Say What You Want (All Day Every Day) (their single with the Wu-Tang Clan)
Tröckener Kecks - Het Grote Geheim
Supergrass - Is 10 (their best of, and when I got home I saw that it's copy controlled :grumpy: )
Rolling Stones - Exile On Main Street (when I got home I saw that the CD has no label :ohmy: )
Gloria Estefan - Gloria! (oh, the memories to 1999 :))
Wendy & Lisa - Eroica (bought it because the last song on the album is Staring At The Sun)
V/A - 2 Meter Sessies Crossing Border
V/A - And Here Is The Young Man

And that last CD really made my day. After a few hours I started to get tired and wanted to go home. However, since the fair really is mega, I hadn't seen a lot yet. So I said to myself to go through one more aisle and then go home. And lo and behold I saw that CD. I'd never expected to see it and it wasn't even very expensive. If you don't know what the CD is, let me explain it then. It's a tribute CD to Martin Hannett, a producer. And it's one of 2 titles (the other one also being a Martin Hannett tribute CD called Martin) with U2's 11 O'Clock Tick Tock on them. So now I have a CD version of 11 O'Clock Tick Tock! :hyper:

U2 - 'Vertigo' CD 2

I happy to have it, but Amazon lied at said it had 2 b-sides and a remix, I only got 1 bside and a remix. :(

I'm glad it's not still in your mailbox!!!! :wink:
 
Popmartijn: I usually go there as well, but I'm a bit broke at the moment... Wages coming in on Friday, so that's a week too late! That's some cool stuff you bought there! How much did you pay for the Vertigo 12"? Need to get my hands on that one somewhere... O well, I'll have to check out the new Oor to see where there'll be a recordfair next...
 
U2 - How To Dismantle An Atomic Bomb
U2 - How To Dismantle An Atomic Bomb (Deluxe Edition)
U2 - Vertigo (CD 1)
 
Chingy - Jackpot

Hey, it was a gift! :lol: Dad got back from visiting my sister back home, and she sent that CD with him to give to me, since she ended up with two copies.

Okay, I confess...I love "Right Thurr" and "Holidae In"...so maybe I will like some other tracks on there. But that doesn't make me a bad person, right?

Right?

*silence*

:wink:

I got it for 10 euro. A good deal, if you ask me. That was on Saturday, around 1 PM. The vendor said he'd already sold 15 copies of that single that morning and had only 3 left. :ohmy:
I guess U2 was in big demand that day. :)

Gwen Stefani
Vanessa Williams - Silver and Gold Christmas CD
George Strait - 50 #1's
No Doubt - The Singles

I went on a shopping spree at Target this morning! :D
 
HTDAAB - collector's edition for me
HTDAAB - deluxe edition - present for Doozer :D
Nirvana Box set - gift for my son
Gwen Stefani - Love, Angel, Music, Baby - for me
 
:der: what's the difference between the deluxe edition and collector's edition?
 
you mean there was a version that came with the dvd but without a book :der:

goddammit, i suck.
 
HTDAAB - no DVD, no book. Because I'm a) very cheap and b) don't have a DVD player. And the book only looked interesting for Edge's odd websites or whatever. Also looked lustfully at Around the Sun but didn't end up buying it -- I didn't have $30 on me.
 
Espejismos - El Otro Yo. This is an Argentinian punk band I really like. But the album hasn't grown on me yet. I think I'll need to listen to it a few more times before I can give a proper opinion.
