Even internet purchases (ie itunes) count. So what has earned your hard-earned dollar?

Over the past week these cds have made it into my collection:

An American Tail
Anastasia
Avenue Q
Classic Julie, Classic Broadway (Julie Andrews sings tunes from musicals)
Coltrane's Sound
My Favorite Things (another Coltrane album)
Bruce Springsteen - Greatest Hits
The Pebble and the Penguin

About $55.00 total.

Not too bad, but I"m done for a while.

This past week, four more cds have arrived at a total of $28

- Pure 80's (the original release)
- The Prince of Egypt
- Chicago (from the 2002 movie musical)
- The Disney Afternoon Songbook: Hits from the TV Shows

I try to get new stuff once every month.

I haven't bought anything lately, been sort of short on cash since I had to replace the breaks on my car \:

I'm looking for a Doors LP though. My dad just turned 50, and he's quite a big fan. I wasn't able to buy it for his birthday, but I intend to give it to him any time soon. The one I'm looking for is the one with Jim Morrison's poems.

Last thing I bought was Linkin Park's Minutes to Midnight album.

In the last month...only two things:

HALO 3!

and a choclate chip cookie!

Actually, I've never bought music before in my life. Not CD's or music downloads. I'm just not much of a music person.

A couple weeks ago i bought an electric bass. My friend is teaching me how to play but i haven't had to much time lately because of school work.

Three more:

Cars Soundtrack (from the Pixar film)
Lord of the Rings: Fellowship of the Ring
Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets

First couple of listens I'm mostly disappointed with the Harry Potter one. John Williams didn't really but a strong theme to build around in this album, so nothing seems connected. That's unusual for him. The first, second, and last tracks are good.

Didn't know it was for cd & audio only.

I finally got The Songs From The Land Before Time into my collection. I guess action9000's weird shareware policy finally paid off.

I'm glad the policy kind of, ish, makes sense.

Banjo Tooie

Very good but has horrible framerate in some areas.

Oh, and Viva Pinata, which I regret to say, is not what I thought it'd be like... Oh well, I still love Rare.

Littlefoot Fan · **Reply #14 on:** November 05, 2007, 09:50:38 PM

Oh wait, this is in the sound section. Aahh well my bad

I just picked up the new Nightwish CD today, "Dark Passion Play". Some great tracks if you like rock. One track is a staggering 13:53 long.

I also picked up the new Sonata Arctica CD, "Unia". This is kind of an odd one. The first 5 or 6 tracks aren't anything special but it gets better.

I just got the "Enchanted" soundtrack. The Carrie Underwood track is very cool.

These four cds were added recently:

- Titanic
- Lifescapes: The Lake (reminds me of camping trips)
- Over the Hedge
- Princess Mononoke Symphonic Suite

It was starting to get a little messy with cds I've purchased over time just kind of stacked up helter skelter, so I reorganized all my cds (grouped by genre) and discovered I have no really good way to store 124 audio cds.

: Biggest waste of a half hour. I think I need another one of those really big cd stands.

Stitch · **Reply #19 on:** January 03, 2008, 12:29:30 AM

The newest one that I just added to my collection is the Disney's Animal Kingdom Soundtrack.
