A Story:
Sometime last year my job sent me to Laredo, TX to count a store called 2nd and Charles. This is a book store, both new and used. But also comics, movies, music, video games and all the silly toys, t shirts and musical instruments. Like most stores that sell these things, they've been slowly chipping down their CD collection. I mean, have you seen these new vinyl music records? They're so advanced, CDs are old tech now.
To do this, created a Mystery Box. 100 CDs for $30.00 US. You don't get to see what's in it, just a big white box, 30 bucks, good luck.
Of course, I bought one. Threw it in the back of the van and brought it home. Upon opening we (my family and I) found that about half the disks were Christian Rock.
DON'T LEAVE! I'm not going to talk about them. In fact, I got rid of them (donated them to Goodwill). I kept a small handful out of curiosity (Best Christian Rock of the 70's and 80's, I must see what they think is their best), but the rest are gone.
What is left is various stuff from classical music to country, hip hop to Christmas Music. There's also some weird ones like the disk of whale sounds and Jewish Celebration Music. Oh, and a copy of Encarta I dunno.
Anyway, I finally started actually listening to some of these CDs with the goal of sorting out the crap. This thread is going to be part of my journey through these random albums. I don't know how regular this will be, it depends when I have the time to go through them. There are A LOT of them and I have limited time to listen when I'm not sleeping or working. Wish me luck.
