Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, nail polish, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
I DID SOMETHING ON MY TO-DO LIST!!!!!!!
ok, so it was the thing that was NOT applying for a job, BUT STILL! It is over 2 months late and I just did the hard part!!!
I should also mentioned that I walked mac to school this morning, so that was 30 minutes of exercise. TAKE THAT bad chemicals in my head, I will FORCE endorphins on you.
I buy CDs when possible so I have a backup, because I'm certain my hard drive will crash and I'll lose all my music if it's just stored there.
Right now my main library is on my Linux box, in my iPod, and on my Apple TV. This had better be sufficient.
I still have an overstuffed bookshelf of CD cases in my bedroom. I cannot part with them.
JZ got rid of the CD cases and now we can't sell those CDs to Amoeba. But the whole used market in CDs is starting to collapse.
I'm only getting a fraction of what I used to get for selling my CDs back. A bag of CDs that used to get me $80 will only get me about $24 now.
Even though Amoeba is still packed with customers, it seems inevitable that it will close in the next five or six years.
On that subject of the loss of brick and mortar stores, I really wanted to punch the hipster couple in the basement stacks of City Lights who were writing down titles to go order online later.

I have all my music on my MacBook Pro and on my Time Machine backup disk. However, I should really get some offsite backup in case my apartment building burns down or whatever.
We tend to listen to satellite radio at home. I have an iPod deck at work and switch between random playlists and artists and specific CDs, because I'm changeable like that.
I wish I could listen to music more at work but my brain won't let me. I get most of my new music these days from music club hosted at my friends' bookstore. I feel bad i have nothing much to offer but, dag, I've learned a ton!
I get most of my new music by going through music blogs that focus on particular era or genres.

Could you post some of these? (Maybe in the music thread.)
OMFG, people, if you want to make plans with me, answer my texts or my emails.
I get most of my new music from the radio (regular and Pandora), concerts, and friends posting mp3's. Sometimes I discover new songs/bands poking around on YouTube, too. And I buy used CDs at thrift stores and Half-Price Books.
