Snow - 12" of snow

(Canadian reggae..)

No one here is going to pretend that they never heard Informer. They might pretend that they know the words, on a purely kitsch level.

the batman soundtrack, for that prince song.



I wish mine was something cooler.

First cassette: Nirvana -- Incesticide

First CD: Soundgarden -- Superunknown

First (in fact, only) CD I bought and had to return at mom's behest: Adam Sandler -- They're All Going to Laught at You

First CD bought at MKE's indie-emo-hipster nexus: Live -- Throwing Copper

Viva New Rock 102.1!

And all you MKE brothers that probably feigned disinterest in it, calling it New Cock and alleging you only listened to MSE and QFM, and, maybe, if you were feeling just a little mainstream, LZR, I call bull-shit.

Suck my cock, Invisible Youth. Eat a rhinocerose's ass, Exhaust Bandits. Have a three-way with Dick and Lynne Cheney, New Blind (Bomb) Nationals.

Yeah, yeah.

8-track all the way, baby...I was young and innocent back then:

K-Tel's Looney Tunes ca. 1976.

The first proper album I purchased was likely a Beach Boys or Jan & Dean record.

Had to be one of these (maybe):







Or it could've been the Ray Steven's album with "Shriner's Convention" on it.

With my parents' help (same day):




with my own money:

on cassette - one of these two


On CD

first cassette bought for me by parents:
some steppenwolf cassette i taped over in a couple months

first cassette i bought:
"purple rain" prince & the revolution, bought late 1984

first cd:
"purple rain" prince & the revolution, bought late 1991

first cd burned to mp3:
"purple rain" prince & the revolution, burned late 2000

first cd audio copy made:
"mtv unplugged in new york" nirvana

first mp3 album purchased:
if i only could remember. it was from emusic. doesn't look like they have transaction history. maybe a pixies album.

the first album i ever owned was either "the simpsons sing the blues" or the soundtrack to "teenage mutant ninja turtles: the movie", both on cassette. and both god awful.

my first cd was also soundgarden's "superunknown" when i was 12 years old. i'm pretty sure that the first cd i actually bought myself was live's "throwing copper" at some point that same year.

Believe me I'm not trying to be a smart ass here, but I always think it's so funny when people talk about owning/buying albums that are obviuosly garbage and then saying so.

[smart ass tone even though I said it wasn't] You mean the "teenage mutant ninja turtles: the movie" soundtrack wasn't good? Really? Are you sure? Cause I heard it was. Hmmmmm. That's wierd. [/smart ass tone even though I said it wasn't]

That's awesome. How old were you? I couldn't appreciate Hendrix until my teens.

Steve

I was 11. I got into them right after 6th grade when on the last day of school, one of my best grade-school friends taped me a copy of selected songs from "The Essential Jimi Hendrix" Vol. 1 and 2 (I didn't know that's where it was from at the time though). That was probably the single most important day in my life for me, musically. (Of course, I found out a few months later that my Dad had "Smash Hits" on LP!!)

first album i bought with my own money:



my first 45 (they were small vinyl records with a giant hole in the middle) was california girls by the beach boys in the summer of '65. i was 9. and cool.

Too long ago to be sure, but if it wasn't Jefferson Airplane/ Crown Of Creation, it was something a lot like that. Hell, it was so long ago, even Steve Miller hadn't started making bad music, and that happened pretty early in his run.

John Henry by They Might Be Giants and I still love that album to this day.

First album I ever owned was a gift for my 10th birthday:


Guess Who Rockin'

First album I ever bought:

Alice Cooper Billion Dollar Babies

shit, i was rockin my NKOTB- hangin tough tape. i have no shame. then i bought the rhcp single of "under the bridge" to impress my 6th grade crush.

i think the first cd i bought was nirvana- nevermind.

i can't really remember that far back.

The first record I ever had was a Disney record with songs from the Aristocats and Jungle Book and that sort of thing.

The first album I bought with my own money was probably a Now That's What I Call Music or Hits compilation.

The first album by a single artist I ever had was Madonna's 'True Blue' which I maintain to this day is a really good album.

I'm not going to try and pretend I was a 12 year old hipster...

awesome...

im debating whether to go see them acoustically tonite....at Chelsea Piers....

oh shit, and i had that simpsons tape... "do the bartman." ahahaha. that and the nkotb tapes were my first recollection of music i had.

33 - the human league - dare!
45 - oak ridge boys - elvira
cassette - ac/dc - back in black
CD - n. young - harvest moon

Then why pretend to be one now?
