You know guys something just hit me. Gene, the two Bill's (eleazar & StereoNut) and myself all had a really good week for software foraging. Do you think it was coincidental that this was the same week that Jerome was too busy building his new computer to do any music shpping?  :-k Maybe we should all take up a collection and once a year buy Jerome some computer parts so he takes a break from shopping for a while and leaves some good stuff behind for us?  :rofl:  :rofl:  :rofl:

All kidding aside, I really like reading about Jerome's conquests (as well as everybody else's). Hearing about somebody else's good fortune in music hunting is almost as much fun as finding things yourself.  aa (Hey, I did say almost.   #-o)

Sometimes you just have to laugh at how crazy we all are in this hobby.   :lol:

You're right Tmazz sometimes it is just crazy, but if wasn't for this what the hell would I do. I've said before I'm a dull boy. This is my only hobby.

Not really so busy with the new computer as I am busy with projects for clients.  I don't think you guys have anything to worry about from me.  8)  If anything, I probably overpay for much of my vinyl because I can't get out to the local shops to snag the really good deals.  You guys buy records for less than $1 that I would be embarassed to say how much I paid.  I'm not complaining though.  I get some good deals too, but nothing like what you, Gene, and Bill get on a regular basis.

Bill - you are loading up on the MFSLs like a champ!

No more 50 cent room specials for you!

So tell me, when you go to pay for those do moths fly out of your wallet?  :rofl:

When I get the new tt you'll have to bring some of them down to test it. Especially DSOTM.

Anther big clearance sale at the Crack House this weekend. All CDs and LPs were being blown out at 2 for 99 cents. I ended up getting 30 CDs and 5 LPs for $14.50. Before you say it, I know the math doesn't work out. and when I tried to explain this to the cashier she just kept saying "No, I count." After 3 tries, I just gave up and handed her the $14.50.

That makes 75 CDs this week alone.  :D  Now I am really behind on my listening and posting. :roll:
