actually i'm tired of all the cd threads, but... i was looking through some of my old stuff yesterday and found a cassette tape that i recorded a lot of my fav songs onto from various cds that i had at some point in time before they were stolen... or cds that i let someone borrow and they happened to "misplace" it somewhere. anyway a few that were stolen were: american werewolf in paris soundtrack (good remix by bush, remake by cake, and another remix by better than ezra... my fav song by them) nas- illmatic (has to be in the all time top ten hip hop list) shawshank redemption soundtrack (recently "borrowed and misplaced". hate losing my depressing mood music.) soooo... what are some of yours?
When I was in high school (which seemed like eons ago), I didn't have any CDs but I had cassette tapes. One of the best was "Jan & Dean's Greatest Hits" and I would listen to that on the way to track meets. Well, I made the mistake of letting this one guy borrow it. He kept telling me he would get it back to me, but he would keep forgetting to bring it. Then the b*stard moved away, so I never got that tape back. To make matters worse, that tape wasn't one that was easy to replace. But in terms of CDs, I did let this guy I work with (well I really work out with him more than work with him since he is in a different department) have my Lynyrd Skynyrd greatest hits CD.
I've lost a few of my CDs loaning them out. One of my close friends at the time borrowed a few of my CDs. I realized he wasn't as close a friend as I thought after several repeated attempts to get my CDs back that didn't materialize. Two rules I live by with CDs: 1.) Never loan them out to anyone outside the family. 2.) Never put your own CD inside another person's CD player for any reason unless you want to babysit it to get it back or else it may never find it's way back to you. I was visiting a friend out of town once and I willingly forked over my DMB Crash CD and I swear to God if that CD didn't sprout limbs and walk off. I've still got an APB out on that CD.
I follow one rule when it comes to this: I don't loan my CD's. If you are tight with me and we have an agreement in which we copy each others CD's, that's as far as I go.
No ****. With copiers, why do you even have to borrow anymore? I did get my James Brown - Live at the Apollo - album stolen years ago. I think that thing was worth some good $.
I've borrowed more CD's than I've lent out. Come to think of it, I still have most of the ones I've "borrowed".
I had over 30 DVDs dissapear from my room when I still lived at my parents house a few years ago.... Never leave a good collection alone, especially in a house where your siblings know how to pawn.
The really sad thing about it, is that I "borrowed" it from my dad, who bought it when was first released.
Wow, that sucks man. I hate pawn shops with a passion. They always remind me of theft for some odd reason.
When I was in college, our apartment was robbed over the Christmas holidays. They took all my CD's, NES games, and my camera. One of my CD's was an original Ten Hands CD that I bought at a show. I checked every pawn shop in Huntsville and never found it. I did find my camera though.
OMG, I had that tape too!!! It was my father's -- I borrowed it and listened to it many times before school. Don't know what happened to it . . .
Dude that's horrible! The only people I let borrow my DVDs are my mommy and daddy. Since they created me, I figure its the least I could do.
Yeah I don't tend to lend out anything to anyone except mom/dad/best friends and maybe my boss. But I make sure to note who has something and usually remind myself to ask for it in a few weeks. It's called borrowing people, not giving.
I was broke one time and decided I would take all my CDs up to Wherehouse Music and sell them. It was literally hundreds of CDs. I sold the max amount that I could at one Wherehouse, and then when I was headed to the next one I got pulled over. The officer, for some reason, thought I was smoking the reefer so he searched my car. Then he got mad because there were no illegal substances in my vehicle to be found, so he went on to "borrow" all the remaining 300 or so CDs because he felt that they may be stolen (they were all in their cases and shoved in boxes in my back seat). He gave me the number for HPD whatever division and told me that to get them back I had to provide them with receipts for all of my music. So now I just "borrow" music from other people on eMule.
I always lend them out when I give a party and I am drunk. Then the problem is that I cannot remember what I have gave out. Since I guess I have lost about 20-25 CD's I started writing it down who got which CD. Since then I have less problems getting them back. I once borrowed four CD's to a so-called friend and I had no good feeling doing it. Then after about one year and after several times I asked to get them back he showed up with a hundred dollar bill and told me he f****d them up. Problem is that one of them is out of print (the 1st record of the band Face to Face). At least he gave me the money. I still learnt from it.
