You should be able to get the next ones for free if you can prove you bought any of the others. <BR/><BR/>Meanwhile, artists like Springsteen and Prince, who I'd pay top dollar for good remasters of, are saddled with the same masters from the mid-80s when CDs came on the scene.<BR/><BR/>The Stones CDs, I have to admit, are worth a little more, given the care and detail in the packaging.Marc Caputohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03293532769174212726noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22842788.post-30990291417867665142008-06-25T13:17:00.000-04:002008-06-25T13:17:00.000-04:00Seth, I plan on picking that up and his other albu...Seth, I plan on picking that up and his other albums. Thankfully, they're all quite cheap. Finally, a musician whose catalogue is "classic" and should be had by everyone that doesn't cost an insane amount of money. Take note, Rolling Stones, Beatles and David Bowie.Chad Nevetthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11785622045733202883noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22842788.post-6259544861477225352008-06-25T11:57:00.000-04:002008-06-25T11:57:00.000-04:00Chad- pick up Cohen's "New Skin for the Old Ceremo...Chad- pick up Cohen's "New Skin for the Old Ceremony". <BR/><BR/>it's Cohen in his 70's prime doling out these spare & devestating wry songs.seth hurleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07180747421289470887noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22842788.post-84014356903939548952008-06-24T22:21:00.000-04:002008-06-24T22:21:00.000-04:00Marc, I have:Songs of Leonard CohenSongs from a Ro...Marc, I have:<BR/><BR/>Songs of Leonard Cohen<BR/>Songs from a Room<BR/>Songs of Love and Death<BR/>The Best of Leonard Cohen<BR/>I'm Your Man<BR/>The Future<BR/>Cohen Live<BR/>More Best of Leonard CohenChad Nevetthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11785622045733202883noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22842788.post-37474010052428549462008-06-24T22:00:00.000-04:002008-06-24T22:00:00.000-04:00Chad: I have "I'm Your Man" and "The Future".

Got his two "best of" collections a few months ago, but a couple of weeks ago, I wound up buying five or six of his albums. As my mom put it, "What is with you and bad singers?" (She says this because I love Neal Young and Bob Dylan.) Currently listening to <I>The Future</I> and love love love the title track.<BR/><BR/><I>Goldeneye</I>. N64, bitches!<BR/><BR/>Haruki Murakami. I've already read all of his novels (aside from his second novel, which isn't available in English except for a Japanese edition that pops up online from time to time for insane prices), but I seem to be working my way through them again. Just finished rereading <I>Sputnik Sweetheart</I> after rereading <I>South of the Border, West of the Sun</I> (my favourite of his work) and <I>Kafka on the Shore</I>. Dunno what I'll read next--whatever looks good.<BR/><BR/>I just finished my Great <I>Hellblazer</I> Rereading by ploughing through Mike Carey and Denise Mina's runs this past week. Will probably hold off on getting Jamie Delano's stuff until I have some more money. Waiting for Andy Diggle's second trade to come out before rereading his first one. May reread all of <I>Casanova</I> next. Or, if the shop has <I>The Programme</I> #12 (which they usually don't, so I pick up that series in London), I'll reread that.<BR/><BR/>I'm also obsessed with breaking this story I've been trying to write for a while now. I'm close. Closer than I've been before, but still not there. Soon, my friend, soon.Chad Nevetthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11785622045733202883noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22842788.post-5794844446757888822008-06-24T15:41:00.000-04:002008-06-24T15:41:00.000-04:00I stuck with Generation X through all the Bachalo ...I stuck with Generation X through all the Bachalo issues, but I ditched the other X-Titles around that time just like you.<BR/><BR/>I dropped X-Men before it turned into Legacy, so I have no compulsion to revisit that stuff other than you just mentioning it now--and making me want to revisit it.

It's the era the actually drove me away from X-Men and superheroes in general for a while at the time, but my interest has been reignited by Mike Carey with X-Men: Legacy. The era is actually kind of interesting in a way, just to watch the writers tap dancing their way through every issue, desperately struggling to find a plot to stick with. <BR/><BR/>Those early Generation X issues are actually really good, though. i skipped that series when it came out and just grabbed a bunch of issues dirt cheap. They're actually very well done and Bachalo was at his peak.<BR/><BR/>Summer vacation is awesome.Matt Jacobsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17780688232878059439noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22842788.post-8420044519545961922008-06-24T10:12:00.000-04:002008-06-24T10:12:00.000-04:00Also, the current issue of Ghost Rider is where I'...Also, the current issue of Ghost Rider is where I'm really impressed. Boschi's art did little for me. Huat's style, although not the funky he brought to Doom Patrol works very well here.
