remember compact discs? you know, like the things you used to buy before mp3's and keep in a giant binder in your car and took with you on airplanes along with your disc man? call me old fashioned, but i love owning CD's. not as in downloading the entire thing from iTunes, but going to an actual record store where they carry physical CD's and pulling one from the shelf and walking up to the counter and paying for it with cash and walking out of the store holding the physical CD. yes, as soon as i get home i put it on iTunes then on my iPod, but i love the look of it sitting on my shelf. plus, if by some power beyond my control all my music disappears from my computer (which
has happened) i don't have to worry about losing all my music. it's still sitting on the shelf, waiting to be re-imported to my computer.
now for some old-school stats:
first cassette tape:
Bananaphone, Raffi
first CD:
Awake and Breathe, B*Witched and
Help, the Beatles
first record:
The Jazz Singer, Neil Diamond
do you remember the first cassette tape you owned? or if you're old enough, 8-track? or even older, record? or too young, the first CD you owned?
peace+love

I think my first cassette tape was barney... haha yes! way to be big purple dinosaur.
and my first cd was leeanne womack's i hope you dance.
i love having the physical cd too. it's just cooler that way. but i rarely buy cds anymore just because it's generally cheaper on itunes. and i usually don't buy the whole cd. if i do, i'll usually spring the extra couple dollars for the physical copy.
i kind of miss the old days.
I think we had an Osmonds or 3-Dog night 8-track.
But the best is the Jazzercise Record my mom had. It had a book in it with illustrations of the moves throughout the book.
Also, we had a Burt Bacharach record, and now one of my favorite Elvis Costello cds is the remake of the Burt Bacharach record my mom used to listen to.
