RE: I'm Giving Up

I don't really relate to most new music so I'm right there with the people that you mentioned that don't listen to anything past a certain year. For me I rarely listen to anything that was made past say, 2005 or so. I'm ok with songs I hear every now and then that are modern but for the most part it just doesn't appeal to me.

By the way the pics of your stereo equipment took me down a fun memory lane. When I was in college it was such a huge deal to carefully pick out your stereo equipment and I remember just staring at Crutchfield catalogs for hours on end. I didn't make enough money to get all brand new gear for a while so I started shopping at pawn shops and sometimes garage sales. I remember I picked up a bitchin amp that had an 8-track player built in for $2 and it was powerful as hell. It was a pain that all the connections on the back were for raw wires since I guess AV plugs didn't exist when the thing was made, but it had plenty of power. I also piked up some rather huge Polk speakers at a garage sale for something like $10.

One of the worst decisions I made was a 5-disk carousel cd/dvd player. That thing was ridiculous and made playing a single CD so much more work than it needed to be. Why would anyone need a 5 disk DVD player? You gonna watch small segments from 5 differnt films all at once?
