Have You Ever Destroyed an Album?

Sneer · 08-24-2011, 11:14 AM

I once destroyed a fucking amazing split EP by leaving the CD on my window seal on a hot summer's day. Totally warped the bugger, and I was gutted. Since that, I try to treat my albums with more care.

Destroyed plenty of vinyl. Man that stuff was temperamental. Leave it in the sun - warped. Drop the needle on it - scratched. Knock the record arm - scratched. Lend collection to a dj - collection ****ed. I really don't miss having my music punctuated by scritch pop crack thud (that last one's the sound of the record arm taking a flying leap off a warp).

I don't think so. I have a bag of crap CDs somewhere which are probably scratched to the point they won't play, but I don't think it counts unless it was dramatic or especially stupid.

the pop and crackle is antiquated, to say the least

Played quite a bit of vinyl frisbee, back in the pre-digital age.
And there's nothing quite like the thrill of vinyl skeet shooting!

I found a bunch of CDs from back when I liked enya and hot hot heat. They were pirated low quality and burnt on a CD, but I definitely thought it was fun to find them years later and scratch them up with sewing needles and hear them skip in the CD player.

I used to set things I listened to when I was a kid on fire. I found stuff like Spice Girls and Hansen in my cd collection when I was 15 or 16 and decided to burn them to be hxc.

I ritualistically burned a copy of Nickelback's Silver Side Up. I was in the parking lot of the local mall, and picked up a CD case (with disc inside) off of the ground. Instead of being a civil human being and taking it to the mall office to see if the owner claimed it (then again, who in God's name would ever claim that?!), I burned it.

My friends and I were going camping (we were at the mall to purchase head lamps) and we threw the fucker into the fire. And then drank beer and celebrated.

I have a few times. Threw a few cds out the window while driving. IDK why either. Just was pissed and didn't want them anymore.

I think I used a Kylie Minogue album as a Christmas decoration once years back. To be fair it probably was better hanging on my Christmas tree then being listened to!
