Our new Indie Games subforum is now open for business in G&T. Go and check it out, you might land a code for a free game. If you're developing an indie game and want to post about it, follow these directions. If you don't, he'll break your legs! Hahaha! Seriously though.
Our rules have been updated and given their own forum. Go and look at them! They are nice, and there may be new ones that you didn't know about! Hooray for rules! Hooray for The System! Hooray for Conforming!

So last night High Fidelity was on TV. Cusack was rearranging his records autobiographically, based off of when he bought them and all. He said he could explain how he got from Deep Purple to something else in 25 moods. I always loved that line in the movie (despite me not being able to recite it all)
So I was cleaning out some old closets today just to make storage space and get rid of some junk. Found a bag of about 100 CDs from middle school and high school. I had taken them out of my big case years ago for some reason. But I haven't touched these things in years.
Some albums I haven't listened to since 1998-ish, some I probably last listened to around 2003 (though those are few, compared to the many I haven't heard in at least 7 years.)
So wow. Scrolling through I find...
Every single one albums I can listen to and remember exactly what was going on when I was listening to it a lot. I remember who I was hanging out with at the, round about what grade I was in, and in a lot of cases, whatever girl I was dating or liked at the time.
When I was listening to a lot of Weezer's Pinkerton and Blink 182's Enema, I was constantly thinking about Aprile McGilvray (whom I haven't seen since like 2003 now, she was beautiful though) I remember being like 13 years old and just being a stupid fucking 13 year old that constantly thought about girls and I was listening to those albums at the time.
So break out your old records and reminisce.

-
- All the Nirvana Albums
- All the Sublime Albums
- Some mid 90s Beastie Boys
- Shit ton of Blink 182
- Weezer, from Blue to Green.
- Few albums by the Ataris
- Handful of albums by Less than Jake (Johnny Quest thinks we're what!?)
- Lots of unpopular pop punk bands' CDs. Though some of the bands like Brand New got famous later on.
- Lots of Tool albums
- Old Incubus
- Old Pearl Jam
- Limp Bizkit CDs
- Slipknot CDs
- Mudvayne
- 311
- A ... PC Gameshark disc? What the hell?
- Two Orgy CDs
- Lots of old Red Hot Chili Peppers
- Lots of old Metallica.
- Then a ton of old mix CDs, I was one of the first guys at my school to ever get a CD burner, back around 1999 ish. Those CDs are likely filled with music from my Napster days.

Then again, I did listen to the Shai album I found at a flea market twice, so I don't know what's stopping me.
Welcome to the world on this side.

I did not get any nookie.
I forgot what it was called, but that next album was really good. I haven't gotten around to re-listening to it yet though.

Yeup, I STILL listen to Savage Garden. Pop music that is still 100x better than the shit they're putting out now.

I bought it a few months ago after having not heard it for something like 9 years.
Oh god, such a good CD.
This was one of those songs we tried for a lot.
That and Jewel's - You were Meant for Me, and Who will save your soul?
Jewel's Pieces of You was the 2nd album I ever bought, I still love that album. It's wonderful.

Also that song they had on Amplitude
Aqua is still pretty fucking awesome.
Tragic Kingdom was the first album I ever bought. We only had a CD player in the living room, I sat in the living room forever listening to that.

The first album I actually picked out myself (I didn't buy it with my own money) was a double-CD Beatles collection (the blue one). I was like 9 or 10.
They actually had a few good original tunes. Like this one.
It was the style of the times
I did the same thing except with Incubus.
Everytime I hear Pardon me I think of camping Emperor Crush for his enchanted ringmail.
