So I picked up a few CDs recently from GoHastings. I went way over my average $1 of spend per CD (probably averaged $4 each with shipping) but I was rewarding myself for finally starting to lose some weight. I have been walking quite a bit and I needed some new tunes for my mp3 player to motivate me.

- Chevelle “Sci-Fi Crimes” & “Vena Sera”: Don’t you hate it when bands change their sound from album to album? Well, with Chevelle you don’t have that problem.
- Megadeth (all CDs above): I probably should not have bought all of these at the same time but rather just a few at a time over a period of months. Being angry and singing / screaming about it seems more believable from a 25 year old Dave Mustaine than a 45 year old Dave Mustaine. All in all though I like all of these CDs. I am only missing their first 2 releases to have their complete catalog of studio releases. I did not care much for their sound before their 4th album anyway so I have all that I want.
- Randy Stonehill “Paradise Sky”: I was very shocked to find this on the $1 rack at Half Priced Books but there it was. This is Randy re-recording stuff from this first few releases (circa 1970 through 1981). The front cover of the CD says “Official Soundtrack to the movie FALLEN ANGEL” which I have never heard of but appears to be a documentary about Larry Norman (who produced 2 of Randy’s early LPs). There is a long and possibly sordid tale about a great fallout between Randy and Larry.
- Yes “90125”: Buying this broke a rule for me. It was a whopping $5 (at Amazon) but I used it as a filler item in my cart to get to the limit of free shipping. This is the deluxe re-issue that contains my favorite version of “Leave It” (the a cappellaversion).
So I shot past 1200 CDs without blinking. I will admit also to ordering (3) LPs recently but this blog is specific to CDs so I will likely not blog about them. The LPs (from Bourgeios Tagg and The Call) were never released on CD that I could find.
