It Is True, I Wasn't There....

So I Finally sat down and watched "You Weren't There: A History Of Chicago Punk" and I must say that I was impressed. It was pretty sweet to see some Strike Under and Articles Of Faith footage. I was also glad that they split the Naked Raygun stuff into 2 parts as I always felt their were 2 eras to that band. I also just finished "MC5: A True Testimonial" which was also a pretty interesting documentary. I enjoyed watching the old concert footage and seeing how much one band could change music. The music that I love and enjoy would not have been possible with out the MC5 or the Stooges or even the Dolls.

Finally!

So I finally got rid of all of my CDs. A task that has taken me months to prepare for. I decided to take a day of work and to haul my collection of CDs downtown to trade them in at a record store. So after sitting in traffic for over an hour I finally arrive and am hauling 600+ CDs through the streets on a dolly. So I drop them off and am wandering around the city, after about 3 hours I go back and  they are about half way through the first of five boxes. So I just went home. They called about 4 hours later to tell me that they had finished and what my total was. I surprisingly did much better than I thought I would. Considering how much I had actually put into this "collection" I was excited to actually get something back. My next option was to make coasters out of them.
