Wish List

A part of my ever-growing mini collection.

After a cursory glance at the eighty plus more titles on my CD wishlist, I couldn't help but feel discouraged for I have this gut feeling that it would remain that way - a wish list.

It also doesn't help that more and more titles have now joined the ranks of the elite. Yes, even albums I have scoffed at in the past - Nirvana's Nevermind, Pearl Jam's Ten and Radiohead's OK Computer.

If I were rich, eighty would be a breeze. There are, however, far more pressing needs that I have to prioritize i.e. supplies/groceries, home mortgages, monthly bills etc.

Lately, I've pared down my orders, avoided impulse buys and shied away from local sales or used CD fairs. Nowadays, I get everything exclusively via Amazon with the help of a couple of fellows I know from an audio and video forum.

And why not when you have Deep Purple's Machine Head and Made in Japan selling for as low as $3.99? It's definitely a no-brainer.

So the best way to go about this is to take it one step or rather one batch at a time. Having said that, I couldn't wait for the arrival of my latest haul!
