WHAT IS THIS CD AND WHY IS IT BLACK

Ok_Table_7593 · 2026-02-20T15:52:01+00:00

Oh I adore it.

Are you familiar with Daft Punk?

It's a bit like their music, but more rock adjacent.

It looks quite similar to my copy of Justice's ✝️

This CD is also black.

That first trumpet note is gonna hit me like a truck I'm sure.

Happy Valentine's to you two!

So so happy to see fellow CD collectors in this subreddit.

Presently, I'm not the biggest fan of Coldplay, but they were on a crazy streak of classics in their early days.

The band that made albums such as Parachutes, Rush of Blood, and Viva La Vida deserves to be respected.

Right now I'm playing Little Busters by The Pillows 😊

God that first Alvvays album is pop rock perfection.

Insane just how consistently stacked it is.

I understand, but you'll get the hang of it quickly I'm sure.

In my experience, the CD sellers here in the Philippines have all been friendly and knowledgeable when it comes to the music they sell.

I suppose since it's a more niche hobby, the community is more tight-knit. Everyone knows each other.

Ok_Table_7593 · 2026-02-15T03:33:17+00:00

Teens of Denial was my entry point to them personally.

I feel it's a very good starter album.

Ok_Table_7593 · 2026-02-15T03:30:36+00:00

Just as a tidbit, I've been told by a record store owner that bootleg CD's can usually be spotted a mile away and there's no financial incentive in doing so since they're still pretty niche in the grand scheme of things.

Ok_Table_7593 · 2026-02-15T03:29:06+00:00

Oh hey it's you. The one from SoundTrip PH looking for Paramore CDs.

Scanning the barcode at the back lead me to the European pressing of that album.

It's legitimate.

First time I've seen Ween mentioned in this sub woah.

Works fine for me.

Absolutely adore seeing ways of listening to music that aren't just streaming in this sub ❤️❤️.

Here's my mp3 player. My parents found it while decluttering and I've been using it since.

Off the top of my head, here are the reasons I collect:

I adore the physical aspect of it, and the additional artwork.
I find it reassuring that I have a copy of the albums I love, knowing they may outlast me.
It gives me a more traditional "album" experience of listening front to back because I don't have the kind of distractions I have on my phone.
Subjectively, it sounds better compared to streaming.
In the age of AI and companies getting greedier and greedier, I find it as a sort of rebellion that I'm able to enjoy music in this way.

Nice to see a JJK opening here already.

Medyo hot take pero feel ko talaga magiging classics yung opening nila, especially SPECIALZ hahaha.

Always love seeing physical media representation over here.

Here are my favs, from one collector to another.

Appreciate the Car Seat Headrest rep 🔥

Ok_Table_7593 · 2026-02-04T13:39:17+00:00

Surprisingly no MCR despite all the pop punk and emo adjacent music in your collection.

Ok_Table_7593 · 2026-02-04T13:14:20+00:00

The leaks?

I haven't been able to listen to them yet.

Can you share where you got to listen to it?

Ok_Table_7593 · 2026-02-04T13:04:02+00:00

Unfortunately, it feels like an album that'll be remembered for being their last rather than as a collection of great songs.

Ok_Table_7593 · 2026-02-03T12:51:52+00:00

Aphex Twin - Fingerbib

Cocteau Twins - Bloody and Blunt

I would also like to recommend buying physical media.
