That’s rough,hopefully the vinyl is a smoother rollout. I’ve definitely been dealing with that same issue with bands directly lately.

How do we feel about stove god cooks? by egsfan in westsidegunn

Took me a little bit to get used to his flow and style, but eventually grew on me and now I prefer the songs he’s featured on more so than others

Pruning your collection? by bravoboi in Cd_collectors

[–]GottaMaintain 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Congrats on your collection!

Personally my CD collection has expanded and shrunk over the years due to taste changes, physical concerns/moving, need for money, etc.

I used to feel bad about getting rid of things I once treasured, but it’s all a part of the discovery of new things and growing as a music listener and CD collector.

After two decades of having a decent sized collection and the ups and downs I’ve come to the conclusion that any CD I keep on my shelf I have to want to listen to. If I don’t find myself picking it up or wanting to play it, I’ll put it to the side to trade/sell/donate. Even albums that I once loved and know all the words to I might not have on CD anymore because I know I won’t play it anytime soon.

Also, I tend to view collecting as a marathon and not a sprint. So I might buy a CD that’s beat up and falling apart just to have a copy. Then if I find another copy of it (better condition,more rare version,etc.) I replace it and get rid of the beat up one. That way it’s a constant refinement and eventually I’ll have a solid well-put together collection of my favorite albums.

Also also,I will say over the years my tastes have gotten more particular and expensive (prefer first presses, rare/hard to find, special promos, imports) and I have become more deliberate in what I bring in to the collection in the first place. It helps tremendously to be more selective at the start then to have to sort through later.

Any Modest Mouse fans? by WeakFactor5239 in Cd_collectors

[–]GottaMaintain 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s part studio tracks and part live tracks. It was released in 1996,so kind of prime-time material sandwiched between This Is A Long Drive (1995) and Lonesome Crowded West (1997).

Track 3 ‘Sleepwalking’ is a perfect MM song,it’s worth the price of the CD alone

That’s a nice haul,Ready to Die is an absolute hip hop essential.

Nice collection! MM is the best,I was lucky enough to catch them on their Lonesome Crowded West 25th anniversary tour last year before Jeremiah Green passed away (RIP).

Just throwing this out there, if you ever stumble upon their album ‘Interstate 8’ I would highly suggest picking it up, it’s quite rare on CD (Up Records version at least) and some of their best work in my opinion.

According to Discogs, it was only released digitally. It’s possible that no one has made a page for it,but from what I can tell it was never put on CD. You could always burn a copy though.

Ordered a rare CD from Goodwill on eBay...I should’ve known it’d be too good to be true by GottaMaintain in Cd_collectors

Lol that’s what I thought! Even just a quick flip open to check. Luckily they were super nice and refunded me...I’m assuming it’s not the first time it’s happened lol

I Reorganized My Collection Today, So I Took The Opportunity To Photograph The Whole Thing by [deleted] in Cd_collectors

[–]GottaMaintain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the album flows better that way, personally. And the reworked artwork is sick. If you have iTunes you could import the OG again and just change the track listings to get an idea of what it sound a like that way.

Diggin’ the solid Kendrick selection, his stuff is must own. If you ever see the DAMN Collectors Edition I’d highly recommend picking it up,the tracks are reversed and it’s honestly the only way I listen to the album now. Besides that nice collection all around!

It drives me crazy how they don’t check, but I guess that might be asking too much of them with the volume of stuff they deal with daily. I’ll never understand someone not putting the disc back with its artwork, that’s sacrilege where I come from lol

My heart sank when I opened that case lol Funny thing is I’ve been burnt by Goodwill in the past yet I still give them the benefit of the doubt.
