Alright, I was in the mood for a brand spankin new SeeDee yesterday, and usually when I'm in those moods, I have to suppress that mood due to funds, and the lack there of.

However, I had just gotten a 5 dolares certificate from Sam Goody/On Cue and I decided that I had enough to spare to satiate my hunger for some new music.

So after play practice I putter on over to the establishment that I have habitiated for a long while, and compiled a list of CD's that I had had my eyes on for some time.

If any of you really know me, you'll know that I have a list of CD's that I want to get, and that list is always huge. And that that list grows every day. So I knew that if I didn't find one CD that I wanted, there would definitely be another one to fill the gap of the other that was missing.

But to my chagrin, out of a list of 20, there were only around 5 that were available. I swear, I searched and I searched some more, but the fuckers weren't there.

So I brushed it off, and said, 'Oh well, that just narrows down my selection....there are still 5 that I can choose from'. WRONG. Did I happen to mention that out of these 5, not one of them was on sale, and they were all marked to incredibly high prices, such as 17.99 in some cases?

Now, the high prices of CD's is nothing new to me. I've always been a complainer when it comes to CD prices, but the fact is, there used to be a time when most CD's were mildly priced from the 13 to 15 dolares range. Now, most of them are climbing rapidly. Thing is, this is just Warsaw's Sam Goody. In the mall, almost all CD's are priced at around $19-21.

No wonder the fucking music industry is trying to find a scapegoat in music file sharing, and/or search engines. No one can fucking afford CD's these days.

I ended up finding one that was on sale, but it still cost me around $15. I used to find CD sales at around $11.....fuck this.

I'm a huge advocate of buying actual CD's. I never download entire albums, I leave that for when the thing's plopped itself into my CD tray. But man, I'm finding it easier to just listen to the few songs that I have on my computer, rather than shell out too much for a CD.

Then, there's the organization skills of usual CD store employees. It's usually people who were looking at certain CD's and then put them down where they don't belong, but man, when I see more than 6 CD's in the wrong places, I start to get annoyed.

Whatever. I got my CD, I got out, and didn't feel as satisfied as I wished I had been. Fuck.
