Has a friend borrowed and never returned a precious album? Has your car been stolen with your complete collection in one of the seats? What's your worst musical loss?
Mine: My sister's car was stolen with a few cds of mine on board. (That was the real tragedy, ne?) This was some time ago, so now I can't remember which they were exactly. I believe Radiance and ShadowStalker were among those lost. I am certain I replaced them.
More recently, but less tragically: When my fiance and I broke up, he still had the majority of my possessions, including all my cd cases and a few cds that couldn't fit in my carrying case (obviously the ones I didn't miss too much). Grar.
-
my hard drive crashed with 89gb of music on it.
complete tragedy!
-
car stereo stolen with magonlia electric co. in it. Now I have a burned copy in the real case. That is the worst I can think of off the top of my head.
-
my entire life up to about 2 years ago when i actually started choosing my own music to listen to.
-
=pouts= ALllllllllllllllllll my Thursday CDs, confiscated by my parents, who were thoroughly convinced that I was turning into "some whiny, wrist-cutting emo kid"--only slightly paraphrased from what they actually said.
I had every CD, too! I had Waiting, and Five Stories Falling, and Full Collapse, and War All The Time....and now I don't.
=is suffering Thursday withdrawal=
-
Awww...my housemates occasionally threaten to confiscate my Bright Eyes CDs for the same reason, but are fully aware that I'd probably stab them in the eyes if they tried.
Just get hold of some really smutty electronic music (i.e Peaches) and play that really loudly, and if your parents complain, tell them that it makes you happy and sexually confident - surely, they can't want you to listen to bland, inspipid emotionless music?
On topic - I've lost so many CDs and records, my worst one (at the time) possibly being all the tapes I had of Manics rareities, all neatly collected onto 3 cassettes, one of which mangled and the other two disappeared.
-
=laughs= Or just really /bad/ music. I /knew/ A Flock of Seagulls would be good for something more than laughing at!
=plots=
-
October 2003, someone broke into my house and stole all of my CD's which wouldn't be so bad, because I had them all backed up on my computer. Which had also been taken.
-
i really like avril lavigne.
that's a conversation stopper.
-
=pouts= ALllllllllllllllllll my Thursday CDs, confiscated by my parents, who were thoroughly convinced that I was turning into "some whiny, wrist-cutting emo kid"--only slightly paraphrased from what they actually said.
AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Owned by stupid negative media stereotypes.
-
I've had CDs confiscated before, and books as well, but that was because they were "occult" -_-
-
The only case of this happening to me was an old friend of mine losing my copy of Eminem's 'The Marshall Mathers LP' back in the day.
...Shut up, that was a good record.
-
=pouts= ALllllllllllllllllll my Thursday CDs, confiscated by my parents, who were thoroughly convinced that I was turning into "some whiny, wrist-cutting emo kid"--only slightly paraphrased from what they actually said.
Your parents did you a favor.
When my brother lost my cd case in January, which had every single cd I've boughten in it, and I didn't have all of them backed up.
-
When I was younger, i was obsessed with the Banjo. I loved banjo music to death. I even had an old record with nothing but banjo music on it. My saddest day was when my father finally got sick of the record and broke it, telling me go listen to somethig else, like heavy metal.
And here I am now.
-
I've had CDs confiscated before, and books as well, but that was because they were "occult" -_-
Oh man, I just imagined what would happen if my parents confiscated every album I own that was "depressive" or "occult".
Ouch.
What CDs were they, out of interest?
-
No, no, no, no, NO!
=misses Thursday deeply= I'm /not/ an emo kid, I just happen to worship Geoff Rickly like a thin, almost emaciated, unhealthy-looking GOD.
-

Ease your withdrawal?
-
Very much so.
=breathes easier=
Oh! Tragedy AVERTED! I FOUND THE CDS!!!!!!!
Under my mother's bed. They /really/ need to find better hiding places.
-
Ahh, it was my Celtic collection (Loreena McKennitt, David Arkenstone and Darby Devon among others) Anne Lisher, and all my Mercedes Lackey (what can I say, I LOVE her books and thus love the songs that go with them).
All of them are pretty much what I call Filk, so nothing hard or what most 'rents would classify as occult. Mention magick once and that's it I guess. It was a sad day.
Off topic, I listened to the Inkubus Sukkubus samples you posted a while back and enjoyed them greatly. I'm going to have to pick up some of their stuff!
-
I actually had CoF's "The Principle of Evil Made Flesh" stolen from me.
That's probably not a HUGE tragedy, but the only album anything negative has ever happened too.
Oh and once when I was younger (like in Jr High) I scratched up a Weird Al CD so bad I couldn't listen to it anymore. :(
-
I'm a notorious stickler for protecting my collection. Whenever a new CD arrives I burn a copy of that pretty quick and take it around with me instead of the original. I've taped a lot of my LPs too, though I've fallen behind a bit on that.
Worst thing that ever happend to me was a roommate spilt beer on a new a brand new Fire Show CD whilst I was away. I made him replace it though, he tried to get out of it by saying the disk was still playable but it was covered in gunk and the artwork was ruined. Plus Fire Show are an all time fave of mine so I was pretty mad with him about it.
-
Not *my* tragedy, per se, but a tragedy that occured to me:
When I was first getting into music in general, I was really into Metallica (this was a bit after the Black Album came out, though I prefered their older stuff). My aunt asked my mom what kind of music I liked, so she could get me a Christmas present. When my mom said Metallica, my aunt was like, "Aren't they devil worshippers that tell kids to kill their families?" For Christmas, my aunt gave me a Paula Abdul cassette. :(
Within a week, said Paula Abdul album had been exchanged for Soundgarden's Badmotorfinger. Within a month, my uncle asked if I could tape the Paula Abdul album for him, which forced my mom to borrow the album from a coworker. :D
Of course, by the time my cousin was old enough to get into music, my aunt had no problem buying him Korn and Slipknot albums.
-
A few summers ago, I had a ticket to what turned out to be the last Elliott Smith show in New York, at Northsix (which is a pretty small club)
On the way to work that day, I sprained my ankle REALLY really badly and was told by my doctor that I was not UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES to go to the concert, since standing for that long would mean risking (more) serious tissue damage.
That sucked.
-
When the mother and father of My Chemical Romance's lead singer decided to get randy...
-
you just killed me dead with that comment.
it was Beautiful.
-
If the was the thorum you would get a danza!
-
Ahh, it was my Celtic collection (Loreena McKennitt, David Arkenstone and Darby Devon among others) Anne Lisher, and all my Mercedes Lackey (what can I say, I LOVE her books and thus love the songs that go with them).
bugger, i miss my loreena mckennitt stuff. she did a really good rendition of The Lady of Shalott which remains my favorite song of hers of all time. and mercedes lackey does music too? my mind is blown.
-
Sounds like I really do need to send you some music, Simulacra.
I prefer Loreena McKennitt's "The Highway Man" to "Lady of Shalot" although both are favorite poems of mine.
Are you a Lackey fan? If you recall all the songs she mentions in her books, such as those talking about the feats of Vanyel and those written by Leslac, she's actually written songs to go with them. And the songs have instruments like lute and hammered dulcimer. Tis heaven.
-
I have an original vynl (please don't bitch me out if i spelled it wrong) copy of 52nd Street. Yet the record player is broken.
Also, my sister snapped my copy of Running With Scissors and threw it out.
Erm, I used to enjoy listening to the Voodo Glow Skulls, who are a terrible band. Does that count as tragedy?
-
I had to rebuy the My Morning Jacket CD after I lost it. I had a near tragady when a couple of people almost stole Rage Against the Machine, Mozart, and something else on a school trip.
When my mom said Metallica, my aunt was like, "Aren't they devil worshippers that tell kids to kill their families?" For Christmas, my aunt gave me a Paula Abdul cassette.
At least she didn't give you a bible and a note saying that she had signed you up for Christian counseling for at risk teens.
-
Off topic, I listened to the Inkubus Sukkubus samples you posted a while back and enjoyed them greatly. I'm going to have to pick up some of their stuff!
Better keep 'em away from your parents. They actually are somewhat occultic.
My Finntroll - Visor Om Slutet CD has a scratch that goes all the way through.
This mortifies me. I will have to buy another copy. Even though I have it backed up. For one, the CD design itself is beautiful. For two, it's one of the best albums ever, and I need it on CD if I am to listen to it on my walkman in my long, nocturnal rambles through the forest whilst my MP3 player is off getting repaired.
-
Duly noted. Of course it's been a while since I had things taken away for being occultic, and my mom has gotten over even bothering to check what I'm listening to anymore, but it's probably still a better idea not to scare her.
Moving out in just over two months.... yes
-
Well, I mean, all the members are practicing wiccans. They write songs about witchcraft (both real and classic cliche witchcraft, because they are somewhat tongue-in-cheek) and express a decidely anti-christian bent in some songs, which criticise the church for things like witch burnings (duh), the crusades and child abuse. But certainly no immature 'GOD SUX' type sentiments.
Personally, I think the lyrical mixture of sex, vampires, nature worship and silliness* is hellaciously awesome.
*They do a cover of "Can't Get You Out of my Head" with altered, morbid lyrics, and who can forget their tribute to 25 years of punk: "Vampire Punk Rockers From Hell".
-
anytime that a good actor thinks that he/she can sing well too...
or anytime a good singer thinks he/she can act well too.....
-
I'd sort of got that impression from things you'd said about them, and, well, from "Beltaine." And I tend to think that poking fun at religions (especially your own) is healthy. It's good to be open-minded. Unfortunately, wicca is still a sore topic around my house.
-
Unfortunately, wicca is still a sore topic around my house.
Why so? (sorry, I'm just a curious-type person)
-
Scenario = Family of fundamentalist Christians find out their daughter has been practicing wicca under their noses for years. Chaos ensues. Imagine all the horror you can.
Although I'm not wiccan anymore, it's still kind of a sore spot for the rents.
-
I see exorcisms. I see bible camps. I see home book burnings.
Poor you!
-
car broken into, cd book and stereo stolen (along with my backpack and textbooks)...
-
How close to the truth! It was an epic battle. And you can imagine the appreciation I have for gentle pokings of fun at ANY close-minded faith, no? (Although, I will note that not all Christians are close-minded.)
Edited: Ouch, Marenpoop, that sucks! Textbooks are rediculously expensive too!
-
hehe, I wouldn't say it was poking fun, more 'we don't like you guys much because you set fire to our spiritual ancestors a lot'. Though 'Wake of the Christian Knights' is pretty damn satirical.
-
'we don't like you guys much because you set fire to our spiritual ancestors a lot'
For my purposes, I'm changing that to "I don't like you much because you burned all my Terry Pratchett, Mercedes Lackey, White Wolf/VtM, and C. S. Friendman...."
But that's not true. I love everybody.
-
My dad's car was stolen, then recovered. Once recovered, we discovered many techno CDs.
It was most definitely my biggest musical tragedy ;-)
-
I left my big cd case with about 45 of my cds on the plane about a year and a half ago. It was horrid. I had a couple hard ones to find in it too, like my Asian Man Records comps which are hard to get without mail order. The second worst one would have to the fact that I lent my ex-boyfriend my Mars Volta, Dismemberment Plan and Alkaline Trio cds and never got them back. PISS'D!
-
But that's not true. I love everybody.
Really? Words can barely describe what would happen if someone performed a similiar ignominy on me. I would break people. Especially for the Pratchett.
-
I'm just very forgiving, given time. Lots of time.
The Pratchett loss hurt the worst because, one, it was the hardest to replace in its entirety, and also because I just didn't understand what was evil about it.
Oh... ouch... the loss of Alkaline Trio cds ;_; I sympathize entirely.
-
car broken into, cd book and stereo stolen (along with my backpack and textbooks)...
I worried about that for a long time, because I had 200+ CD's in my car. So I got an iPod, I'd rather that get stolen and be out $300 then all the CD's get nabbed and be out $2k
-
That's why all I carry is MP3 cds or mixed burns. I can buy another CD player easily, but I don't want to replace my cds.
-
The only thing my parents ever confiscated was the DVD from sum 41's "Does this look infected?" when I was like 12.
Shut up I used to like them.
[/hatred]
-
The Pratchett loss hurt the worst because, one, it was the hardest to replace in its entirety, and also because I just didn't understand what was evil about it.
No kidding though, I ended up having to order The Light Fantastic on the inertnet. I hope one of the books lost wasn't Pratchett's work with Gaiman, Good Omens.
-
Nope. Discovered Good Omens later, which in turn made introduced me to Gaiman.
But you have no idea how hard Eric was to find again! But I suppose that's what layovers in England are for... to pick up books!
-
That is good then. I was almost thinking of rereading Good Omens again already.
True! The best time to find books is when you least expect to, I think.
I've had the usual in the way of music tragedies. Some stuff stolen and other stuff lost.
-
(Although, I will note that not all Christians are close-minded.)
WHEEEE we don't all suck!!!
anywho, to quickly get off that topic. most of my musical tragedies are shameful phases i have gone through in my search for good tunes. most of them are entirely too embarrassing to admit to a bunch of random intarweb strangers such as yourselves. actually, make that all of them. NONE SHALL HEAR THE MYSTERIES!! BE YE BUGGERED!!
-
WHEEEE we don't all suck!!!
I should hope not, seeing as I've returned to my Christian origins ^^;
Now come on, we don't bite, and some of us surely listen to even more embarrassing music! Share!
-
I've been pretty lucky about loss, theft and destruction of my record collection so far. Someone did once half-inch my copy of 'Peloton' but I replaced that really fast. My only tragedies have been tapes. The loss of mix my sister gave me one birthday that was stolen by one of my dickhead ex-flatmates, which had an amazing cover of 'Ace of Spades' done by a man she met at a pub lock-in on the banjo as well as the theme from Button Moon, still pains me. Seriously, I know that cover sounds ridiculous but it was actually excellent. Also, the great mixtape an ex made for me which snapped. It had a song by Smoke on it, that's how good it was.
-
Oh, I completely forgot the mix tapes my friend Dani made for me. Along with some awesome music I don't know how to trace, she took poems written by her and a friend and composed music to them and sang the words. That's irreplaceable!
-
=pouts= ALllllllllllllllllll my Thursday CDs, confiscated by my parents, who were thoroughly convinced that I was turning into "some whiny, wrist-cutting emo kid"--only slightly paraphrased from what they actually said.
WHO DOES THAT? I never thought parents actually took music away from their children. I listened to Misfits when I was 15, my parents just said the music sucked. Wow, you poor child, even if the band's not great (by which I mean bad), you should still have all your cds! *hug*
-
I was listening to Carpathian Forest when I was 15...
But still, awful as it is, I find it funny, simply because of the thought that such people exist.
-
even if the band's not great (by which I mean bad)
Er....thanks, I think? =pouts= I'm /still/ an avid Thursday fan, and like it or not, Geoff Rickly is an unhealthy-looking, thin, almost emaciated GOD of scremo.
Okay, so I'm a little obsessed. But I found the CDs, so tragedy averted---whiny, pretentious crap or not.
-
Thursday are a good band. War All the Time was a bit emo for my liking but Waiting is a good album with some fantastic songs and a really interesting sound, and Full Collapse is just one of the best records ever made.
-
Second'd!
Full Collapse... =drools=
And Five Stories Falling, even if the only original track on the whole durned thing was 'Jet Black New Year'. That song /alone/ was worth the twenty bucks Sunrise charged me. There is simply no denying that they have talent, though I will agree with you about "War All The Time". It was a bit more emo than their other albums.
Lookin' forward to a new one in the future!
((To be completely off-topic, this is my fiftieth post. I've only been here for like, two weeks. Y'think I'm talking too much?))
-
That song /alone/ was worth the twenty bucks Sunrise charged me.
That and the stories in the liner notes. I borrowed it off a friend, and actually wrote Geoff's story out in full before I gave it back. Though I'm not sure it's worth $20!
-
My loffly, dance-music loving gay friend Adrian /stole/ the insert from me. Some crap about "It's for your own good, hun".
/That/ was a tragedy if I've ever seen one, 'cause I never wrote it out.
-
I lent someone my copy of De-Loused In The Comatorium and she has no idea where it is. Oh well.
In an opposite vein, a friend of mine lent me his copy of Age Of Empires II and proceeded to move and not give me his new address. Oops.
-
"I don't like you much because you burned all my Terry Pratchett...
Who can burn Terry Pratchett? Why?!
May as well burn C. S. Lewis or Tolkien for their fantastical content.
-
Come to think of it, my Chronicles of Narnia set disappeared at the same time... @_@;
-
GASP!!! HEATHENS!!! anyone who thinks the Chronicles should be taken from children should have their soft burny flesh burned, with fire and burning!
anywho, on topic. i went through a phase in early high school (and i'm dating myself here) where i listened to... le sigh... Ace of Base.
well, there it is. there are others, but i'll have to think for a bit to compile a list. on the upside, i also had Metallica and Nirvana in my repertoire at the time. it was a very experimental period for me.
-
I went camping in eastern washington and every CD I ever owned was stolen out of my car... I had to start from scratch... over 100 CDs... it was... AWESOME... especially since alot of them were irreplacable mixes that friends had made me, a couple of whom I no longer have contact with.... I should have been more careful... *kicks self in the kidneys*
-
Yeah, having your entire collection stolen would sure be a worst situation.
-
Liking pop when in school but thats all behind me and i now like metal and rock (grew up with rock because of my dad was a rocker), punk (my mam was a punk-so im a musical family) and emo now...
-
Blue Oyster Cult, enough said...
-
Hrm... let's see... I had a bunch of CDs and cases in my backpack, which was stolen from me while at university. I had put it down for just a few seconds, and turned my back, and it was gone... pretty recent all this...
What CDs you ask? Arcade Fire, Funeral, autographed; Flashlight Brown (canadian indie-punk-ska-rock type band), My Degeneration, autographed; Modest Mouse, The Moon And Antarctica, autographed, as well as Good News; Alexisonfire, Alexisonfire and Watchout; Mars Volta, Deloused in the Comatorium; The Brat Attack ('nother Canadian band, sorta hardcore punk), From This Beauty Comes Chaos And Mayhem; and Protest The Hero (another canadian hardcore punk band), A Calculated Use Of Sound. Obviously, the biggest loss was Arcade Fire, Flashlight Brown, and Modest Mouse, but I also had textbooks and my Alexisonfire shirt in the bag too... not to mention that it was a $200 courier bag... What a kick in the nuts O.o
-Jeridus... lamenting, I am...
-
My worst tragedy? Buying a Deerhoof album =P.
-
I think Jeridus' is worse.
-
Uhh, the only music *loss* I can recall was losing my CD for Creed's 'Human Clay'
yesIknowtheysuckandthesingerisamoronBUT
I have since moved on, and can agree with the sentiment that my tastes prior to my own moves to discover new things was a terrible period, of terrifying things that shall not be named.
Except for Creed.
Which is probably enough as it is.
Woo! Thursday!
EDIT: Oh yeah, and getting the mumps the weekend I was due to see LCD Soundsystem and Maximo Park play The Cockpit in Leeds on their first UK tour (LCD's, that is), thereby being unable to move from my bed to get the train back to Leeds to see them. I will forever regret that. Will have to settle for future tours and Reading festival...
And for some inexplicable reason not buying tickets to see System of a Down at the London Astoria (capcity ~1500-2000?) despite having the funds and the time. I am fucking retarded.
-
Oh, ouch, Jeridus, that is a tragedy.
Having things stolen sucks.
-

The epidemic continues! - getting landed with mumps stopped me from seeing and interviewing The Magic Numbers, playing with Pipettes, which upset me deeply, so I feel your pain
-
When I heard some band on the radio late at night and memorized the chorus to the song but never located it. It was a blissful song, totally amazing, the best thing you could expect to hear on commercial radio anyway. It was bluesy with some kind of banjo thing going on and the lyrics seemed to be about. . .a train? I don't know. I can barely remember it now and I'll probably never find it. Reminds me of the episode of Pete & Pete where Little Pete found "his song" but at the end could only remember a single chord. Utter tragedy.
-
And for some inexplicable reason not buying tickets to see System of a Down at the London Astoria (capcity ~1500-2000?) despite having the funds and the time. I am fucking retarded.
*laughs like a man possessed as he dances round with his tickets*
Oh, I am cruel.
-
My little brother deleted 3GB of music (downloaded on dial-up) to make room for porn.
-
Kill your little brother. It won;t replace your music, but it'll make you feel better.
-
The worst thing that's happened to me is that a friend borrowed my Brand New cd (My Favorite Weapon) and has a shity memory, so every day in homeroom we have the same exact conversation, which consists of me asking him where my cd is and him telling me that it's still at his house. It really sucks when you have the worst urge to listen to a certain cd and can't because someone else has it.
I really think I'd die if anyone actually stole my cd's. But now I'm more into using purevolume instead of cd's when I'm at home, so I might lve.
-
I think he's doing you a favour
-
meh. If I didn't miss it for the music, I'd miss it for the sentamental value, my brother bought it for me for my 18th birthday when I was stuck somewhere in Maryland and was many miles away from all of my friends.
But I will admit that my music does kind of suck. But I like it. Care to p.m. me some suggestions of good music? I'm trying to broaden my horizons, as corny as that sounds, and as long as I can find it on purevolume I'll listen to it.
-
I don't know, do they actually have any good music on purevolume?
-
No. to quote Dr. David Thorpe...
"No matter where you live, no matter how big or small the city, all the local scene bands are shit."
So there's nothing good on Purevolume. ever.
-
I lend cds out. And they never, never come back. Bye bye to all my Deftones, all my Nine Inch Nails, a Cursive disk, and all my Sleep Station...
-
Pseudo-musical, but super tragedy.
My friend was going to buy Wilco Tickets to a show that I was sure was sold out. And it was. However, there were also Mitch Hedberg Tickets on sale, the comedian of whom I am a huge fan. My friend came to school the next day and said that he hadn't bought me the tickets because "he didn't want me to go to the show alone."
That was the last time he preformed in Los Angeles before he died. I will never ever forgive my friend. Ever.
-
You should have hit your friend, at least once. You should also offer an explanation, you know to be polite.
-
When I was in grade 5, someone stole my 'best of Weird Al: Volume 2' casette, which had the non-album song 'headline news' which was funny. Thus I was sad, because it was my favourite.
My second horror story: My girlfriend likes Nirvana.
What a horrible, scary story.
edit: there are no good rock-oriented bands online. I have only ever discovered good electronic music online, but never have I heard any kind of good rock type music on any site like purevolume.
-
I lend cds out. And they never, never come back. Bye bye to all my Deftones, all my Nine Inch Nails, a Cursive disk, and all my Sleep Station...
Well looks like the solution to future problems is right there...I never lend except to my best friend.
-
Watching two poeple exchange Limp Biscut lyrics on the forum here.
-
I had a vinyl copy of "Anthology" by A Tribe Called Quest, and somehow it disappeared. Maybe I'll find it when I move out, but I haven't been able to yet. The fact that I managed to lose a full size record, is the amazing part....
-

Stab your friend over and over and over, and then collect his blood and pour it down his throat. Seriously, what an asshole.
-
Come to think of it, my Chronicles of Narnia set disappeared at the same time... @_@;
That seems amazing, especially seeing how INCREDIBLY Christian CS Lewis was and how influenced those books are by the Christian stories and beliefs..
-
And what does that mean to some people? I've known enough people who thought Iron Maiden were actually Satanic (If anything they're bloody Christian), to not be suprised by anything like that.
-
it would have to be..
1) the first time my harddrive crashed and I lost all my mp3s. i had a crap load of spanish punk that I have yet to be able to find again (this was 4 years ago) and lost about 8,000 songs.
2) the second time my harddrive crashed and I lost another crapload of hard to find music. lost about 4,000 songs.
3) most recently when my ex sat on my Jawbreaker AND Cursive cd's and broke 'em in half. *sobs*
-
He broke your Cursive CD? No wonder he's an ex! ;)
That's grounds for castration where I'm from...
-
I'm blessed in this department, actually. The only things worth mentioning are:
1. When I accidentally dropped 'Känn Ingen Sorg För Mig, Göteborg' and its cd casing broke.
2. When my The Plan cd got a scratch on it, resulting in me not having heard Rock My Boat in approximately three years (was the track even called that? Deary me, my memory is failing. Again.).
As I said, I've gotten away easily.
-
Is that the one where they rob a pizza store? And have one of the guys at the end completely covered in shaving cream or something?
-
Before I learned the true value of music I had a load of CDs out of their case laying about on the windowsill... my then-girlfriend knocked a drink over them, and one of the ones I failed to grab and clean in time was David Bowie's 'Hours' album...
I liked it, anyway... I think that's about the only real tragedy I've had, and that was many years ago.
