Guitar Gear Forum

So, I'm old and stuck in my ways. I like to touch things Mainly, my penis. And balls. And my wife's ass and boobs. I digress.

I like to buy things and actually physically own them. Sure, I have an e-reader and mp3 player, but I still love books and I still love CDs.

That's what this thread is for. Your recent book/movie/album/video game purchases, BUT ones you actually physically can hold. Why?

Cause, that's why.

I've been on a CD buying binge lately:

The Sword: Warp Riders
Testament: Dark Roots of the Earth
Shrinebuilder: Shrinebuilder
Black Tusk: Set the Dial

And all of them have been well worth the purchase price. Haven't had a chance to watch the Testament DVD that came with the disc yet though.

I still buy cd copies of everything I want to listen to, I'm too picky to listen to compressed MP3's much and iTunes drives me bonkers. I might get into high rez downloads, though.
Probably pick up Machine Head's last album soon, I think.

Hustler. Because I grew up in the age where you had to flip pages to see pron.

Just ordered off ebay: Black Sabbath, The Eternal Idol deluxe edition.

Plan to order this weekened: Black Sabbath, 7th Star deluxe edition, the latest from The Sword and the Peter Criss bio.

lol this cannot be anderton is it?

I'm also in the "i prefer physical copies" club. If i have a choice I'll buy a physical CD of something before downloading it.Haven't bought anything recently though. I think the last album I got was an Alice Cooper Greatest Hits CD that was my girl's Christmas present

Just got a Black Sabbath-We Sold Our Soul For Rock&Roll and Richard Thompson-Best Of The Capital Years. Also picked up The MC5-Kick Out The Jams.

I can't for the life of me set up a working iTunes account. I've tried approximately 4723987492874982378 times.

Picked up 3 cd's this weekend.

Curse the Son; Psychache
Windhand; Windhand
Oiltanker; The Shadow of Greed LP/Crusades 7"

Awesome sludge, great doom and some crust punk.

Other albums I've picked up in the last 2 months:

Black Sabbath- Paranoid
Indian- Guiltless (one of their guitarists used to post on HCFX)
Baroness- Yellow & Green, Blue (again since my CD disappeared)

Diocide, I think you posted a Windhand song in the other thread, I will have to check them out. Always looking for some good doom.

I bought Kiss' Hotter Than Hell yesterday so I could listen to it in my truck. I still have the vinyl version I got when I was 8.

I was given an iTunes gift card for Xmas, so I bought the remaining Collective Soul albums I neglected to purchase all these years: Disciplined Breakdown, Dosage and Blender.

Collective Soul does have some good stuff though.

I got "Gods of the Earth" for Christmas since my CD disappeared around the time my Baroness disc did. Such good stuff.

Yeah, I went all hipster and ditched HC. I don't support big business because it is ironic. I don't know what ironic means, but it sounds cool.

Post-irony.

I only buy physical CD's for new music that comes out. Then I throw away the jewel case and put them in a big Case Logic (omg i feel old saying that ) thingy and either listen via CD or rip at 320k and put it on my iPod. At highway speeds, CD vs. high bitrate rip isn't as huge a difference, IMO anyway.

Not sure what I bot last tho... maybe the new Muse. RED's new CD is coming out next mo' so I'll be getting that.
