Hiding your addiction

That "10 Commandments" of cd/addiction hiding from your spouse sounds like a very good project. we could throw out some ideas and then vote them in and concrete 10 of them.

 

 

Idea 1: "Though shalt not get married."

 

Too easy, problem solved and you'd only need one commandment then. :)

not sure, someone said the second one went something like ''never keep original cds in your car''

 

so I was just wondering if these were already established, if not we could definitely make up a few ourselves

 

Never heard of them, but that's definitely one "rule" I adhere to.

The C.D. Nazi herself.. She didn't even get angry.

I told her I got all 10 for $4.00 each *which was the truth). I also told her I haven't bought anything in a long time (total lie).

Got a package in from Metal Blade, I snuck it in my lunch bag.

I think there's a special place in Hell for me..

I think there should be a special place in hell for our spouses for making us spin the truth on our hobby.

I use to have my CDs sent to my work address...until I got a visit from a federal agent. :(

 

Feel free to elaborate...

 

The bank I worked at previously the branch was inside Wal-mart. All the mail came to them in the back & we had to go there and pick it up. The lady in the back who handled it was a bitch from hell and hated it when I got packages. Most of mine were coming from overseas because they were Japanese pressings so that freaked her out even worse. She ended up calling my corporate office and also the FBI. I got ambushed one morning at work. Came strolling in like any other day and the minute I sat down my supervisor and an FBI agent came inside the branch with a couple of my packages under arm. We went in the back room and I literally felt like a criminal that day because I got asked 100 questions about the packages. He was a DOUCHE with a capital D! I got tired of answering stupid questions like"why don't you just buy the cd's from this country?" I asked him what difference it made where I bought them and why it would even be an issue and he got pissed off. I was tired of answering the questions so I just asked him if he would like to open the packages right here in front of me. He acted surprised...like I'm importing fucking drugs or something. When he opened them, wow! Look at that...fucking cd's. Must have bummed him out....

 

He told me to stop having them sent there because it was freaking the lady out (which I still don't think they can do) but I agreed to get it the hell over with. Then I got to spend another 20 minutes on the phone with my Risk department and had to explain what was going on. When it was all said & done, they were actually pissed that it was an issue since it was so silly. They blew it way out to be more than it was....

 

Worst day at work EVER.....

Ha ha....only in America eh!!!!

 

I get all my cds delivered to work - just easier.......so often the post / couriers wont 'push' through the letterbox....not sure why as most are just singles. Perhaps they feel it might damage the package. I just ended up making continual trips to the sorting office. It never used to be a problem as my wife didnt work, but now she does, work is the way forward!!

I think it was more a product of the bitch in receiving. She can suck my balls!

The trick for me is, there is no trick. My wife knows(and knew before we got married),my 2 addictions. 1. Music, and 2. Hockey. Family comes first, so when I want to buy some cds there are no problems at all I tell my wife that I am put extra money on the debit card for some new cds and all is good because all my time and money go towards family stuff. Sounds lame but no hiding here. She does think I'm crazy, but I gave up smoking(6 years ago) don't drink really so it's my one vice.

Good call if you can do it that way. I think my wife knows but doesn't say anything because she knows how much I love it. Then again...if she knew the dollar amount we might be divorced right now :)

That's funny. My wife doesn't collect/horde anything and is always selling/getting rid of something (even if we may still need it). She tells me regularly not to get more cd's (even said as much in a birthday card a few years back) and even complains when I get freebies.

Isn't if funny how women can buy clothes and shoes and it's OK but if we buy a few hundred CD's the world is coming to an end.

Right

If my wife's nagging wasn't enough,now the mini demonic offspring from Hell's bowels{my darling demonic daughter}has piped in saying"Just upload all your cds and sell them and then all you need to do is download" and i just had to say in my defence"Who rattled your cage and raised you up from the dark depths of Hell little demon"

 

Damn then both to Hell,do you guys know how i go about a exorcism before they give me a pea soup shower?

    • I was a pretty big fan. Nature Of The Beast is a killer song. Saw them with Dave Gleeson from the Screaming Jets singing and he did an amazing job, but pretty sure they have a new singer now  I recently went through the two most recent albums before this one and there were a couple of ok tracks, but mostly mid. Fun fact: I saw the Angels a couple of years before Doc died at the Middle hotel in Ferntree Gully and they seemed to hate each other. Pretty sure Doc said nothing to the crowd all night. Fun fact 2: when they were building the transit bar in Melbourne, a mate and I found a service elevator that went to the roof, which was under construction. After peeing off the roof, which is always fun, we realised that we could clearly hear the music 5 or 6 floors below from a DJ I think. He was playing Am I Ever Gonna See Your Face Again. We started yelling down the No Way Get Fucked, Fuck Off bit thinking we were hilarious. Then soon we noticed people looking up, and for some reason they seemed to be clearly hearing us. Another mate then called us to tell us security were on the way up the stairs so we took the service elevator down and managed to laugh it off. Stoopid drunk story I guess, but fun days.
    • Cheeky, getting your artwork in there. I wonder how you did that.  I like the vocal track on #1 and that'd be my pick. I personally don't dig the female versions of songs, because I'm not a female (yet?) and as these are songs written by ourselves I personally feel the best interpretation is an AI dude voice taking the place of your dude voice. 
    • Yeah, that's great but this is obviously an accomplished musician probably completely in control of this output... not done with Suno, I'd bet. There's definitely dudes out there who are perfectly capable of doing their own music, like this dude, but for whatever reason might not be able to put a project together, again, for whatever reason... but this definitely feels a lot more like AI feeling in the missing gaps for someone otherwise in complete control of what he wants.  Either way, it is very cool indeed.  As Darkstone says, I'm not sure paying is the way to get the best results. I'm also not saying it isn't, especially with other platforms that are not Suno. I think already knowing what you're doing, musically, is the best way to get best results, personally. Suno, for example, is just perfect for someone who might enjoy writing lyrics but is not in any way shape or form an accomplished (or even adequate, lol) musician.  But yeah, it's pretty cool for some fun. I'm not sure if you checked out my links above. Keeping them pretty quiet due to lyrical content, lol, but you might dig some of the stuff in my links. 'As the moment passes by' and 'I'll wait for you' are two of my personal faves. Along with 'Faith to fall.'
    • Yeah, musically it's what you want, but vocally... Maybe Alex should take some vocal lessons from Ken Tamplin. ;}

    • Yep, although I was never a massive fan.
    • Yes, celebrating their fifty years. There only two original members left in the band. Dusty might agree with me the Angels died when the original singer passed away.
    • It's just not the same without the Doc though...
