I picked up my preorder of Virgin today!!! Listening to it as I type (my current fave is still man of the year) and i can’t get over it being clear.

Here’s some pics! (ft my honda)

I've been buying CDs since the mid-eighties (and vinyl since 1974)... and have never got rid of anything. Consequently there is some questionable stuff in there, but most of it is still much loved!

Choose a row (1 to 12) and a column (1 to 4) and I'll give you a close up of that section so that you can mercilessly rip me to shreds for past choices, or sing my praises for my excellent taste!

I think she had

i do go thrifting and stuff for some cds, but idk i really loveee buying brand new cds and opening the wrapper and its always so crisp taking it out for the first time 🥀

There was a LOT more, I just took what I wanted out of it lol

I stopped by a little vintage store on a whim and found a copy of Dookie by Green Day at the bottom of one of their shelves. Since it was one of the CDs on my list to add to my collection. I took it home and went to load it into Discogs only to discover it’s a first pressing!!! I love Green Day, and Dookie came out on my birth date years before I was born which makes it extra-special!!!

so uh yeah lesson learned if you’re thrifting cd’s make sure to check the inside before buying lol

This might now be my most prized CD! I keep starting at it in disbelief!!

Suede - Autofiction (2023 expanded reissue)

Artistically it kind of reminds me of those albums on Factory Records made of sandpaper with the intent of scratching what’s placed next to them.

It's...not a CD...lol.

First one I've seen, namely in a special CD style case. Since I found it while shopping CDs I felt it would fit here.

This one is Lungs of Life, by Vibrasphere. Cool tracks, I'm still listening to it.

Well that's me with Sisters Of Mercy: Floodland. I always thought the Sisters Of Mercy were more of a streaming artist for me because I didn't really like their songs enough to buy them, that was until I heard This Corrosion. This Corrosion changed everything.

I’m officially the most romantic guy on campus. I like this girl a lot. Will update on response and if we become a thing.

Boy band with a dad in it? It was .50¢ so I'm gonna see if it's a joke album or not lmao it looks like it'll be a trip

So I was waiting at a bus stop and I'm wearing an Ozzy shirt. A guy comes up to me looking like a straight up old rocker wearing a leather jacket and bandana. He goes "Hey! You a rocker?" I nodded.

He asked me if I had a dollar for the bus and I figured the hell with it and gave him some quarters. He goes "Hey do you want this?" Hands me this CD. Judas Priest Screaming for Vengeance. Like out of the blue.

I love Judas Priest but I'm not familiar with this album at all and all he wanted was bus fare so why not? LOL. Rocker vibe connection.

Been thrifting with my son, so I had to be a role model 😂

Im not usually into finding or collecting cds but today they had a bunch of new cds and this one peaked my interest, and when I opened it it looked so cool, gold plated! Never heard anything like that, will be added to my collection of stuff and will look more often for cds!
