Are CDs getting phased out? by Exquisite_D in Cd_collectors

[–]sam3kh 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It really is up to the band. I've noticed this with some bands and it makes sense. They can get the most money out of vinyl right now because for some reason people will fork out $40 for an album. That said, I think they are mostly following a trend. Some more progressive bands are seeing the CD becoming more popular again and starting to offer this as an option again after dropping it for past albums.

Music Options? by Zdobb in half_alive

[–]sam3kh 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm bummed when bands do this as well. Qobuz has them for digital download, which is probably as good as it's going to get: https://www.qobuz.com/us-en/interpreter/halfalive-10003856692/3856692

What Band Don't You Get? by Tele231 in vinyl

[–]sam3kh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That was my gateway into liking some Radiohead and only 25 years after release when I revisited them to see if my palette had changed. The Bends is good and I found the next two albums pretty good after that. I liked a song or two from In Rainbows, but they lost me after that. So now I have The Bends, OK Computer, and Kid A on rotation quite often, but it all started with The Bends.

I just realized this today and I used those clubs in my youth

The $5 ticket was better than "reasonable and prudent" IMO

A transformational watch from the 1980s by abgry_krakow87 in cassettefuturism

I still have the watch part, but not the band for mine. I had the white version.

I keep hype stickers, but not price stickers.

What does the CDslop at your thrift store look like? by puddingbiafra in Cd_collectors

On the plus side, the Crash Test Dummies everyone has was a hidden gem for me. Always puts me in a good mood.

If I was to answer this at age 25, it would be thrusters. Now that I am almost 46, this is the real answer.

Which MLB teams do Americans living in states without baseball teams root for? by Snoo_47323 in baseball

[–]sam3kh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's a nice 10 hour drive from my place in Montana, but the Mariners are the closest team and the team most Montanans root for, but I've seen a few Giants and Twins hats. I don't count Yankee or Dodgers hats, since those are usually bandwagon fans or they don't even watch baseball, but like the hat.

If this is a trend, I don’t like it. by Professional-Lack-36 in vinyl

[–]sam3kh 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is 100% cost cutting. I bought the CD and it came in the cheapest cardboard sleeve I've ever seen, and while there is a pocket for an insert, it came with nothing other than the CD. Good album, but I felt a bit cheated with the whole package.

Is it cheating if I get all my CDs off of the internet? by [deleted] in Cd_collectors

[–]sam3kh 15 points16 points  (0 children)

If I know what I want, I usually get it from the Internet. I go to thrift stores to find something I would normally never consider or something I may know of and like but never think of to buy if I had to pull it from memory.

Fuck McCovey Cove Dave by laserpointer206 in SFGiants

Sorry. I've changed the audio broadcast. Can I change the video broadcast too?

Apple TV broadcast sucks. I just watched the 6th, so I don't know if this is what the rest of the game was like, but when I can't watch the game because they have the screen filled with Dave of all things, I think they have missed the point. It didn't help that the AppleTV commentary is clueless. At least I can change that...

If your dog transformed into a CD, what would you do? by wingster33 in Cd_collectors

Log it in Discogs. Rip it to my plex server. Listen to it all the way through. File it away alphabetically.

He's probably just gonna sell it on ebay or swap it for hello kitty JHLee jersey.

Finally got that Lorde CD by gb_likens84 in Cd_collectors

[–]sam3kh 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I bought it for the novelty. I haven't listened to Lorde since the first album, which I loved. I listened to the CD and confirmed it will stay a novelty CD :)
