the perils of used music

[Professor Peedston]

yeah so i was at this record store over the weekend browsing through the used vinyl bins, and i stumble upon this beach boys album that i've been looking for for awhile (sunflower, if you must know), made even better by the fact that it was only five bucks. so i pull the record out of the sleeve real quick just to make sure it's not warped or anything, and it looks ok, so i buy it.

and i get home, i pull it out again, and look more closely at the record as i'm about to put it on, realizing that it was not the promised beach boys album, but... "The Vogues' Greatest Hits!"

:angry:

so that's my Mild Annoyance of the Week. :P

[el_scorcho]

:dozey: What a ripoff.

[Sternly]

YOU MUST CHECK THINGS BEFORE YOU BUY THEM! :P

AND USED MUSIC SOUNDS LIKE RECICLED MUSIC :idea2: (NEVER SEEN ONE OF THOSE STORES HERE, BY THE WAY)

[mycdplayerisbroke]

it was 5 bucks!

[Professor Peedston]

that's why it's my "mild annoyance of the week," not my "super terrible reason to kill myself of the week" or something. :P

[Sternly]

THAT WHAT A BOOK COSTS HERE! SPECIAL EDITION, WITH HARD COVER :smug: :D

[mycdplayerisbroke]

oh my
a book like that would cost 20 bucks

i dont even have a record player so whatever
is it good quality?

[Sternly]

A BOOK HERE COSTS YOU ABOUT 10% OF YOUR SALARY, IF YOU RECEIVE THE MINIMMUN PAYMENT

ANYWAY, THOSE BOOKS ARE FROM AUTHORS NO ONE READS (WELL THE MASS, CAUSE I LIKE CAMUS, AND SARTRE AND RUSSIANS AUTHORS AND GOLDMAN AND SO)

USUALLY A BOOK RANGES ABOUT 10.000 CLP WICH IS LIKE 17 DOLLARS AND HIGHER :dozey: (REASON WHY NO ONE READS HERE)

[mycdplayerisbroke]

im reading (trying to at least) Catch 22.
wow
its beyond my comprehension

[Sternly]

CATH 22? AUTHOR PLEASE! (WE CALL BOOKS BY AUTHORS NOT NAMES, USSUALLY)
I'M READING CRIME & PUNISHMENT, ONCE AGAIN IN SPANISH AND FOR ENGLISH IN THE NAME OF THE FATHER (WELL I FINISHED IT AND NOW READING MODOC :smug: :D )

[mycdplayerisbroke]

Joseph Keller - Catch 22

[Sternly]

:lol: FUNNY I'M SUPPOSE TO CALLED THEM BY AUTHORS, BUT DIDN'T MENTION THEM EVEN ONCE!

AND I DON'T KNOW THAT GUY. DO YOU READ BY OBLIGATION OR NOT?

[mycdplayerisbroke]

it's supposed to be a classic
i've stopped reading it for a while
nah i read for pleasure
i used to read some ken follet books and i got some more but i have to finish catch 22 first

[Sternly]

WELL IT DOESN'T SOUND FAMILIAR TO ME. WELL MAYBE THE NAME IS SPANISH IS WAY TOO DIFFERENT (THAT HAPPENS A LOT)
I STARTED READING THE NEWSPAPER AT 4 AND NOW READ FOR PLEASURE ALMOST EVERYTHING I FOUND, AND IT'S WORTH TO READ IT
AND I'VE HEARD OR KEN FOLLET, I THINK, BUT CAN'T MAKE A PITURE ON MY MIND AT THIS VERY MOMENT

[mycdplayerisbroke]

its even in spanish!

[Sternly]

AH! I KNOW THE MAN! MY BROTHER GOT SOME OF HIS BOOKS (I THINK SO) ON HIS LIBRARY! BUT I RECKON I'VE NEVER READ THEM, SO HASN'T HE :rolleyes: :lol:

[mycdplayerisbroke]

they are really good
there's even a big sex scene in the ones ive read.... :idea2:

[Sternly]

:dozey: TO BE HONEST, THAT DOESN'T CALL ME ATTENTION OR TELLS ME "PICK THE BOOK AND READ IT" (AND I SHOUL KNOW THE NAME FIRST)
I LIKE BOOKS ABOUT CRIMES, GULTYNESS, DEMENCY, SADNESS, DESCRIPTION, WHERE THE BAD ONE SUFFERS BECAUSE HIS CONCIOUS IS KILLING HIM..... AKA ONE OF THOSE BOOKS THAT, IF YOU AREN'T USED TO READ, YOU OPEN IT AND FALL ASLEEP :D
