Davkaus Posted March 22, 2017 Share Posted March 22, 2017 I don't think I've owned a CD (or a DVD for that matter), in 10+ years. I don't "put them all on my computer", but my taste isn't particularly niche, I don't think I've ever wanted to listen to a song that's not on Spotify. Books are pretty much the only physical media I keep around (and I'm thinking about stocking up a charity shop by dropping off the hundreds of the things I've got on shelves all over the house) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a turntable in my 'music room' where I keep the LPs that I have not yet replaced with CDs. What I definitely do NOT do is buy any new vinyl, that is just madness.

Vinyl wins for some stuff, where it's not particularly "detailed" music and the warmer sound suits it. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the call he says things like "my mom and dad are in bed and they told me to ring you" "They are lazy" "what's your name" after calling himself "timmy". I like funny videos or whatever, but that one, for some reason really cheesed me off. He's filming it himself, sat in the kitchen, so there is ZERO spectacle, his voice is just high pitched and really doesn't even sound like a child, he's from "oop north" making it even more irritating. The person he's calling is obviously quite concerned about this "child" and his whereabouts, and if he's safe.. He's wasting this persons time, when I'm sure the school would benefit her time being spent on actually helping people who need help, or clogging up the phone line for a 10 minute prank call.. And it's been viewed 10 billion times, everyone seemingly loves it, and you know the bloke that did it will think he's the bollocks and he'll do another one and it'll become "a thing".

Roland Rat Superstar , Rat Rappin cause it was the only vinyl record I still owned when I went rummaging around in the loft looking for something to play needless to say , next time it will be a CD and curry night ....

rodders0223 Posted March 22, 2017 Share Posted March 22, 2017 CDs and DVDs etc are just clutter, it's just one more thing to dust. A couple of years ago we had a skip for some building work. Made a decision, a tough one I thought, but I chucked hundreds of DVDs and CDs into that skip. It was easier than selling them,or giving them away. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My dad makes about £250 a week buying them in bulk and reselling them on eBay/Amazon. I told him he'd be wasting his time. Good thing he never listens to me.

You don't really want crackle on 'classical', but it adds something to the Small Faces. To go back to @mjmooney's point about gaps in between contiguous tracks, it was driving me mad with the house cd player (something modern by Cambridge), so I upgraded to a 1990's cd player and it's solved it. Progress, eh. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She must eat loads of healthy food at home in secret though as she's putting a bit of weight on. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post BOF Posted March 23, 2017 Moderator Popular Post Share Posted March 23, 2017 A barber dry shaving the back of your neck. You're a barber. A professional. You have all the tools of your trade at your disposal. I'm here for one **** thing and you DRY shave my neck. Now it looks like a **** turkey's chin and my shirt collar feels like heated sandpaper.

darrenm Posted March 23, 2017 Share Posted March 23, 2017 Last time I went to the barbers they went straight past me to the next person. So I said "I want my hair cut" They were a bit perplexed so I sat down and they started buzzing for a few seconds. Afterwards they didn't know what to charge me. That validated my normal home clippers no.1 all over routine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sharkyvilla Posted March 23, 2017 Share Posted March 23, 2017 I **** hate getting my hair cut. There's nothing worse than that anxious wait while you're hoping the decent barber finishes before the other one as I haven't got the nerve to say 'nah, I'll wait for the other guy thanks'. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
