What the hell was I thinking?

I've just woke up from a slumber and realized that, (JESUS HELL), I own the following:

- 10 (TEN!) separate Strangelove CD singles - 5 (FIVE!) Elcka CD singles - Multiple albums by Tim Finn - Music by Subcircus - 20+ singles by Blur - Longpigs rarities - Etc.

Three-pronged question, then:

1) What do you own that you absolutely shouldn't. 2) Anybody wanna take this crap off my hands? 3) What the HELL was I thinking?

Arg. I hate this HTML business.

You should sell the lot on ebay -- it is filled with Britpop mentalists who would probably pay big money for some of it.

1) A bunch of stuff I previously reviewed that none of the used places can be bothered to take. Worst offender: Presidents of the United States of America. You can't unload that baby if you PAY, now.
2) Nope. Especially not that Tim Finn character.
3) Seemed good at the time?

i once bought a strangelove single and took it to the hairdressers because i wanted my hair like patrick duffy. why? a girl, duh!

Was the guy in Strangelove really called Patrick Duffy??? It is brilliant if he was, but I thought it was some other name. Patrick Something-or-other...

Gareth should have tried looking like Patrick Duffy from Dallas anyway, it would have worked better with all the laydeez.

1)I absolutely MUST get rid of my copy of the Nice's horrible 'Thought of Emerlist Davjack' (bought for obvious reasons) because even the tiny possibility that somebody might visit my flat and discern even the smallest, most passing preconception about me from listening to 'Tantalizing Maggie' would render my whole life a wretched public self-parody (as opposed to the private one it is now)

Michael Crawford sings "The Best of Andrew Lloyd Webber." Sick, man.

Complete with syrupy thick rendition of "Any Dream Will Do" and "And the Money Kept Rolling In," a song which should never NEVER be sung by someone like Mr. Crawford.

At this point I note I *like* Strangelove, goddammit. And I don't care what you think. ;-)

Isn't the Strangelove singer Patrick Duff? He's touring with (*cough* *spit*) Zita Swoon.

Hey, I don't mind Strangelove either, but were ten singles really necessary? I did hold on to the albums, after all...

I borrowed a 'Best of the Eagles' CD from Hammersmith Library today.

A few weeks ago I woke up after a very boozy Thursday night drink-up in London - the one after my birthday meal, I believe - and groped for my glasses. My hand instead met my discman. Inside this discman was a U2 CD. I do not own a U2 CD. Oh, but I did now. I remembered going to Tower Records, and buying some other things and then realising there was a 3 for the price of 2 sale on and I needed another - but I had no recollection of when, how or why I had alighted on U2 as that other. I'm blaming the Pinefox since he'd started a thread on "The Unforgettable Fire" and I'd thought oh OK, I'll download it. However I did not download it I bought it. To my credit I've given it a chance and the record is mostly awful.

Christ. I borrow Andrew L's flatmate for a couple of hours to go to a movie and he's sneaking out and borrowing an Eagles CD! Who'd have thought it was unsafe to leave him alone at his age?

I suspect the album I have of lowest musical quality is probably 'Uri Geller'. But a) 25p and b) gatefold sleeve with lyrics! He even sings on one track, rather than reciting crappy SF/metafictional 'poems' over spacey music (i.e. a Spock who takes himself even more seriously).

I own a total of 6 Stereolab Albums.

Like anyone would need to own more than 1?

Kris.

I just traded about 20 cds into spun.com for five I actually wanted. (They're in Chicago, so I don't know if it helps you Brits.)((What I despise are those CDs I don't want anymore but are too scratched to sell off. I swear they take up half my fucking collection.))

I cannot get rid of my Gay Dad singles to ANY FOOKER sigh

Does my Tik & Tok single take the biscuit? I would include A Flock of Seagulls' Talking, but I think I still like it...& on the subject of that era, I listened to Party Fears Two again last night - that bloody fantastic riff!! ...& the high note at the end...

trance remix of "Unfinished Sympathy"

― Tracer Hand, Wednesday, 24 April 2002 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I got an album by 'The Nightingales' which is unlistenable :( and some dirge by 'Eyeless in Gaza'
