Purging

~~MicShazam~~ · 10-13-2018, 01:49 PM

I just sold a big stack of CDs today. Some artists, I kind of have an infatuation with for a while, but then lose interest in completely. Some just end up not really delivering as much as their best few songs suggested they would.

Gone from my shelves as of today:

Carly Simon
Carole King
Joni Mitchell
Luar Na Lubre
Teresa Salgueiro
Heather Nova

I listened to parts of all of the albums I had with the above artists to give them one last chance before I got rid of them. A few artists actually survived the same process, much to my surprise. A few I couldn't get myself to ban from my collection:

Alanis Morissette
Midnight Oil
Alizée

If you sell Alanis Morissette I will pee on your haddock.

I usually only end up listening to her albums when I wonder if I even like them. Then they survive another round. So I guess I do like them, but they don't get much time in my stereo.

There are these 5 dollar "mystery bags" sold at a record store in my city, in which there's 10 random CDs. Obviously they just stuff the ones they couldn't sell in these brown paper bags and then write something goofy and lollarious on the front.

I've bought two of these, which equates to 20 CDs. If you want to know the quality of what I got, Villians by The Verve Pipe is the best one of the bunch. Or maybe the Top Gun soundtrack.

Ouch.

What was the worst one?

Beaches: Original Soundtrack Recording. Featuring Bette Midler.

On the plus side, those CDs could provide material for a hilarious review journal.

That's actually an excellent idea. Maybe next time I snag one I'll do that.

I just purged Lambchop. Had four albums. Just realized they're meh.

Never heard of them. They got some interesting album covers though.
