Starrman, have you got yours yet?
Love Grand Hotel, I've never really listened to Procul Harum much, definitely my favourite track on the album. All my friends listened to The Smiths and Morissey when we were younger, but I didn't. I supppose I never understood them, turns out I really like his dark sense of humour, they're all like really tragic black stand up routines. Basically I've hardly listened to any of the bands on the disc, so I'm gonna have to listen a few times more, but at first listen I like a lot of it, I may even be tempted to buy a Smiths album....

As for The Smiths and buying an album of theirs, it's almost certainly ''The Queen is Dead", although "Meat is Murder" has it's high moments as well.

Originally posted by darvlayThanx for the bump, bud! And Guess What!?! I finally have recorded all my CD's onto my hard drive... and sorted out a 2 CD set. I ran some test burns, and destroyed about 5 CD's.
Bump!
I've sorted it out now, and tonight I've got my list ready to burn, and I'm sending off the CD's with luck Tuesday or Wednesday.
I've got a test burn, but 2 tracks fell off, so I need to burn the good versions this evening. It is the best music from my collection, I'm just sorry it took so FRICKING LONG to finally get this done.
I've lost a computer at both work and home, and all my music. I've got wed, had 3 honeymoons... and pitfall after pitfall when I try to get my music list finished and burned... It is finally almost done, and it will be a weight off my conscience. It’s really bothered me that I can’t get my music out to Crowley and Corsair.
I’ve got their addresses, and am excited to get it over with!
I won’t even post in your other thread, for fear you will sign me up! Funny thing is, I said wait for the second one, and here we are! I’m ready to go, and just like I figured, in time for the second one.
P-
