This sucker's only 8 bucks at Best Buy this week. Guess where I'm headed.

Daammmmn. That's a great price. Is it the one CD or two CD version? I have a 20% off coupon to the Electric Fetus that I'm going to use on it.

One CD. The CD/DVD combo is going for 16. Vinyl for 25, if it's being carried.

Good deal. I'll be snagging the vinyl, as will Imperor, I believe.

Awesome. I wish my parents were into books, movies, music and general pop culture as much as I was... definitely would've made starting a vinyl collection much more enticing. Starting from scratch is no fun, especially with a broken player.

Very true. The only reason I got into it was because my mom had a turntable, so I'd buy a record here and there and bring it back to listen to. Funnily enough, I was the only one to ever use the thing. I just finally got my own this summer and am now fully addicted to it. It wasn't expensive at all either; I think I spent $30 on the used turntable and $15 on the used receiver, both from a vintage record shop, and $25 on the speakers from a pawn shop.

Nice. There's a solid chance that I'll end up rooming with a guy next year who has a decent vinyl collection and player. Couple that with my DVD archive, throw in some shag carpeting, and it'll be a full-on entertainment center/love pit.

Sweet. I bet you have quite the movie collection, and combining forces is always fun too. I also sincerely hope you do turn it into a 70s love den.

I had a roommate after I graduated college who had nearly as many CDs as I did. He was a huge metal fan, so our collections didn't have a lot of overlap. He also had a large amount of movies. A few months later, another guy moved in with us who had even more movies, and a decent number of CDs as well. Pretty much any time I walked in the door, a movie or music was on. It was a very fun time.

Now they all have kids and listen to shit.

Well, that was quite the depressing end to a happy story. You always have to bring us down, don't you, Scumbo?

You and me both.

If anything close to that picture happens in real life, I demand photographic evidence.

LMP · 10-12-2009, 01:01 PM

It will be sent, along with pictures of de FOXES.
