My brother in law was kind enough to make me a couple of cds of some Metallica I didn't have ,,the good old stuff from Master and some of the better tracks from the Garage double like my fave "Blitzkrieg",nice surprise for a guy with no money to get them again.

@ mah brudder in SAB!
SO cool that you got blessed with some music!

Sharing music is one of my favorite simple pleasures in life.
Screw the RIAA and their avarice!

Yeah,I remember when I first heard about Lars and the Incident(sounds like a cheesy afternoon movie or a lame alternative band) I was amazed.Uh Lars,if it wasn't for "illegal" tape trading,the mighty Met might not have achieved their well known status.It was those "thieves" that put you in your position to where anyone gave a rats posterior what you said about anything anyway.

Oh by the way,I have now been given the chance to poison my newly teen nephews' minds so I'll keep you all updated on that,got the 13 year old his first Deep Purple cd,a greatest hits collection,available from you know where for five bucks,its got some great songs on it though.The fifteen year old I am making cds for,some doom,some power and classic stuff.Uncle Sab seems to be VERY influential in their music choices,me...an influence,who knew (heh heh,all is going as planned )..huh,imagine that.

On the subject of sharing......with my wife's ongoing struggles with illness and my meager barely cover it job,which I can't change because of the medical insurance,I don't foresee having much money for music. So, if anyone is interested in some sharing ,let me know,I might have something lying around here you don't have or just want a copy of.

I'm updating my CD list currently, so when it's done I'll post a link to it for you. Do you have a list of your stuff you could post?

I could probably get on it next week ,Tues or Thurs 'I think is when I'm off,thanks man,is greatly appreciated.

Great CDs. I love Jon Anderson's 3 Ships. And I see you were able to find A Brutal Christmas. Well done, my friend

Hey ... we should have a sticky thread in this room that is just for
posting links & update links to CD lists. That sounds like a good
idea!

I am about 95% finished with my ongoing CD-list update project, which I
started about 4 months ago, hah. But it's basically ready to be posted.
Like I said, a few more updates are needed, but I'd feel cool posting
it now as well.

@ TROGGIE: I'm going back up on the 11th (I think). I've got this
weekend and next week down here in Phoenix, and then going back up to
the Flag. You wanna hang out this weekend maybe?

As far as aquisitions go ... it was an AWESOME DAY!!! Note that I have
never, EVER stolen/shoplifted a CD/movie or anything like that (and
that still is the case, for the record ) ... but I ended up pulling
one over on Zia records this afternoon totally by accident. First, the
CD's I bought:

GRAND FUNK RAILROAD - E Pluribus Funk
DIAMOND HEAD - Am I Evil?
REVENGE - Triumph.Genocide.Antichrist (!!!evil CANADIAN metal!!!)
DEATHSPELL OMEGA - Fas -- Ite, Maledicti, in Ignem Aeternum (on first
listen ... it's more of the same, but it's part 2 of DSO's 'trilogy'
project, and it's really good considering!)

and then the unthinkable happened. I had a stack of CD's with 7 in it
... then when the chik went to bag my stuff, she accidentally put the
whole stack in there, AFTER I paid for the 4 above (I checked the
reciept). She handed me the bag behind the security sensors, so they
didn't go off, and I didn't realize till I got home that I got hooked
up with 3 free CDs!! I suppose a truly moral and wholesome upstanding
law abiding god-fearing sum'bach would have given them back ... but as
Diamond Head says -- "Am I evil??? Yes I AM!!!"

I got the following 3 CD's for free:

CORROSION OF CONFORMITY - Blind
ISIS - Celestial
SLAYER - Christ Illusion (Special Edition with cool animated artwork & bonus DVD)

I totally kicked Zia in the NUTS!!

And as always ...

Yeah, I found Brutal Christmas thanks to SoulSeek, but I have to say I'm not all that turned on by it. It's interesting and cool in a novelty way to me, but extreme metal is not really my thing.

The Jon Anderson is def' cool tho!

That's cool man, take your time. I don't have a lot of spare time at the moment for list updates (my CD collection is approaching 3000... ) and trading burns anyway, but if we can be really organized about it, we should be able to do some low level trading once we are both up to speed. No rush and no worries, bro.

Yep! I've been picking up some of the albums with the best covers and collecting them as pieces of art!

Nice. Keep an eye out for a nice copy of Love Gun, Lick It Up, Kiss (esp. with the blue Casablanca label) and Revenge.

THE MEATMEN - Stud Powercock: The Touch and Go Years

Not sure that I could have picked two bands more diametrically opposed than these!

Anthrax FTW!!!!!

I went out the other day and picked up myself the Iron Maiden Live After Death dvd. Fantastic. The i-views are as entertaining as the actual concert. I actually saw this tour as a stop in my cold, wintery western Canadian city back in 1984. I have watched all 5 hours plus from this release.

Excellent and good to see you again Ken!

Thanx. It sure is kinda crazy how much 'life' takes up your days, and getting to do the extras (ie. posting at message boards) become more difficult to do.

Yesterday's Pickups:

HALFORD - Metal God Essentials, Vol. 1 (limited edition 788 of 5000)
METALLICA - S&M

FIGHT - K5: The War of Words Demos
