Excruciate – Passage Of Life (1993) ends at $300.01! I know absolutely nothing about Sweden’s Excruciate but I do know that $300 for a CD is a lot of money. The auction states the CD is OOP (out of print) and is a first pressing on Thrash Records but it’s still a lot of money. [...]

Tale Of The Tape: Dell DJ 30 (1st gen) 3138 songs (265 full albums)  (I solemnly swear that I will upload more albums to my player so the Tale Of The Tape will change.) As I wrote my concert rant, I put the headphones on, hit SHUFFLE, and Rocked! Here’s the first 25 songs (band-song-album): Saxon [...]

It’s true, I’m considering not attending concerts anymore. I still love the music and the thrill of seeing good bands live, it’s just that the state of the concert industry is leaving a sour taste in my mouth. I started going to shows in 1986 at age 13. My first concert was Aerosmith, with Ted [...]

What makes this more special to me is that this set gets released on my vacation [...]

Prism – Jericho (1993) starting bid at $2990.00! No this didn’t sell, the seller actually ended it before bids were taken. No CD is worth almost $3000 and the seller made a mistake in the listing. I just found this interesting because Ebay would have charged the seller a huge auction price to list this [...]
