Bought a long, long time ago. I tried to sell them to a used CD place while in college, and they wouldn't take them:


Def Leppard: "Pyromania"

Now I'm depressed. I own the LP of Pyromania.

(What really depresses me is that I have moved it no fewer than 8 times.)

Before this gets out of hand: leagl disclosure!!!!

atticus met his wife as a russian mail order bride

It's true. I told the dealer I wanted "something in a Bush twin" and I wound up with Kate Bush. He told me "returns for store credit only." I became a plaintiff-side consumer protection attorney shortly thereafter.

I can give you the number for my dealer. I told him that I wanted a movie star or a girl next-door type, and he got me both for the price of one!

Of course, I had to pick them up in Hawaii.

Name something in your CD collection that you never (or very very rarely) play. Since I've already copped to buying them (for $0.99 each), I'll fess up to "Pocket Full Of Kryptonite" and "12 Inches of Snow"

Enigma, "MCMXC a.D." (um, I was probably high and thought it was Led Zep)
Ruby, "Salt peter" (based on a rec by David Byrne in a mag interview)
Fleetwood Mac, "Tango in the Night" (see Deuteronomy 7:26)

I'm sure there are others I'm repressing, including my wife's extensive collection of lesboyan folk rock.

Str8, I'll swap you any of the above for "12 Inches of Snow." I've said previously that's the World's Greatest Triple (Possibly Quadruple) Entendre Album Title, even if it was by the Vanilla Ice of Jamaican dancehall reggae.

There are too many bad cds in my collection to list, but I think that the low moment in my cd buying history was when I bought something post-White Wedding from Billy Idol. I can't tell you the name of the cd because I'm not sure that I've ever listened to it.

I have two American Idol cds in my possession (the Kelly Clarkson one and the Clay Aiken one), but that is only because they were free to me. Still in the plastic wrap, so some future e-Bay purchaser will know I didn't scratch them. If only I knew how to do this whole e-Bay thing. Seems like so much work to set up a PayPal account, etc. Maybe a garage sale instead.

If you're wife ever lets you get rid of it, let me know. You know how much I dig the angst-ridden chick singer/songwriters.

I have an Enigma CD. May be the same one. Blame lies squarely on the shoulders of the DJ/Music Buyer at the coffee house where I studied for the bar exam (CA, not TX, though it was same coffee house, different DJ/Music Buyer). It was one of ten CDs that they had in rotation there, and eventually I broke down and got it after having it programmed in my brain. I have Mazzy Starr and Portishead CDs for the same reason. They have survived, for some reason, culling.

Well I already have that Enigma CD, which my wife won't let me listen to in her presence because I admitted that it was my "setting the mood" CD of choice while in college. I h8 h8 h8 Fleetwood Mac, so that leaves Ruby. Let's do it.

"Cyberpunk"? I have that one too, unfortunately.

Which NY Times Op-ed columnist are you?

Me:

You are Nicholas D. Kristof! You enjoy travelling, going as far as China, Africa, Alaska, and Central America for a good story. You use a lot of quotes and references in your stories. You tackle tough issues like AIDS and religion, which makes you controversial among Christians. You're a good man, Nicholas D. Kristof.

I can think of five different ways to read it, considering combinations of the size of EP's, genitalia, cocaine and the expression "blowing snow"/ "snow job."

Anyway, I have a CD by the band Best Kisser in the World called "Puddin" that I have never unwrapped. I have moved this CD [counting on my fingers] 8 times in 12 years.

If this is a walk of shame, I suppose I should admit to owning several works by N*SYNC. I would make the excuse that they have all been purchased by the baltspouse, but I realize this is no excuse.

I do own a Spice Girls CD. I don't know where it came from, but it's definitely mine (i.e. did not come as part of the baltspouse collection).

  You are Maureen Dowd! You like to give people silly nicknames and write in really short, non sequitur paragraphs. You're the most playful of the columnists and a rock-ribbed liberal, but are often accused of being too flamboyant and frivolous. You tend to focus on style over substance, personality over politics. But your heart is in the right place. Plus, you are a total fox.

Uncanny!

You are Thomas L. Friedman! You're the foreign affairs expert. You're liberal on most issues, except you're a leading voice in the pro-war movement. You're probably the most popular columnist at the Times, but probably because you play both sides of the Iraq issue and relish your devotion to what you call "fanatical moderatism." You sure can write, but you could work on your sense of humor.

I actually saw this band live. For reasons that are too boring too explain, they were playing in the same club as Porno For Pyros. This was the Pornos first tour and the show was in a nice, fairly intimate club setting, so it seemed like a show not to miss, even if I first had to be subjected to a band called Best Kissers in the World, whose name was (as far as I could tell at the time) unironic, but acid has a weird way of bending your irony-meter, so don't take my word for it.

Crap. I'm Maureen too?
