Hiding your addiction

Thank christ I live alone, is all I have to say. At worst, buying a Cd today means I might have to live on beans on toast at the end of the month.

 

My situation is similar: At worst, buying a CD today means I might have to live in the garage for the rest of the month year.

This is still the best thread.

OK,

 

Here's my new delema. I usually go up to my loft every friday or saturday night and pound a few pints. This is the perfect time to listen to my newly aquired discs. The Wife is usually down stairs watching t.v. or on her Notebook. As I was opening one of my jewelcase packages (Taking the plastic off) I hear a "Is that a new c.d. I hear?" I look down and show her what I was opening.

So, now I not only have to sneak c.d.'s into my home, I now have to take the plastic off of them to not make a sound.

 

:doh:

 

The only thing I got going for me is She doesn't go upstairs. I'd really be screwed.. :aw:

The tell tale crinkling of cellophane...just make sure to have a bag or two of chips up there to "mask" the sound.

 

And it is priceless the things we do to fuel the obsession.

Sad Isn't it? grown men having to hide stuff that they buy. My wife doesn't tell/show me every shirt,pair of shoes etc. that she buys.

Really sad. Money is a moot point in our house and the cause of a lot of rows. I don't think I'm 100% to blame, hence I'm happy to carry on 'hiding my obsession'. :tumbsup:

After having tasted her Rocky Road (as it were), your dear lady wife can do very little wrong in my eyes ... I especialy appreciate her efforts to get me to take your entire CD collection home with me whenever we visit :rofl2:

It was killin' me when it came out on Oct. 9th, cuz I had planned to make a special trip to the Best Buy near my office for a first day copy, etc, etc. but as it turned out I ended up being off from work that day, stuck at home with the wife... and I couldn't come up wtih a decent excuse to tear myself away and run out to a store by myself... so it had to wait till I went back to work the following Monday. I'm sooooo f*ckin lame :rofl2:

That's not an issue... I hardly ever listen to music 'round the house anymore... it's almost always either in my car or at my desk at work.

Don't do it man. You'll be facing the creature known as Female Logic and it's like the freaking Hydra - you think you've got it stopped then it just rears up again twice as mean.

    • No official release yet so don't know when exactly the album is supposed to come out but I'm assuming it's this year. I'm sure you're all brimming with excitement.
    • I posed him that exact question on his discord page as to what his future plans are.... He said he plans to relax for a bit, do his You Tube thing, keep writing new music and then will decide how to release that music.  He said as of now he's thinking he'll either do a solo thing or form his own band.  He didn't say this but I'd sort of envision a Daughtry type "band" where he kind of puts a band behind his name. So essentially, I think you're right on with his plans.  Ultimately, I think like you say, the control is a big part of it.  I think he wants to be able to operate on his own schedule to maintain his health and family obligations. It'll be interesting to see what sound the new material takes on.  It would seem logical to think it would be rock/melodic rock of some sort since that's really the type of music he's built his following with but he certainly has shown he can dabble anywhere from AOR to metal.
    • Glad I got to see them with Erik in front. All the best to him, definitely looking forward to his future outings when he is fully recovered. Would be cool to see him form his own band, where he could take control, and play around in different genres, from full on metal, to soothing AOR, the guy is so versatile.
    • Remedy - Crying Heart. One I've just seen thanks to the Iridium channel.  From the upcoming album. It's a Killer.     
    • Let's not forget Benny Hill. What a Magnificent show that was.    
    • Yeah... I dunno about that. It would be too cringe. Who knows? If I'm high enough, I might submit a video. 
    • Yep great track and if you fancy being in the video for "The Feeling" nows your chance.  
    • I'm proud to say that I had this single when I was a mere 8 years old. KISS were big down here then. Norman Gunston is Iconic for Aussies of my vintage.  The face ln the bottom left says it all. Hilarious.     
    • All in all, this is a great story. Erik played a brilliant, well received, albeit short cameo with one of our favourite bands.  It was a win, win, win. A win for us, a win for Skid Row (the album certainly put them back on the map) and a win for Erik, adding this to his already impressive resume. The fact that it was so amicable with both parties is also great to see.
    • I really like this album - not every song on it but there are some surprisingly catchy melodies all over. Personally I think the singer adds great energy to the mix. It reminds me of the earlier Bai Bang ("closer to you")
