compulsive purchasing
Sep. 12th, 2005 12:36 amToday I have had good eBay.
I listen to the album "Comforter" by Compulsion a couple of times a week, to the extent that I know most of the words to most of the songs without ever having sat down and read the lyrics. I've been thinking for the past couple of months that I really should get some other stuff by them. Today, I finally got round to googling for a discography. Bizarrely, I now remember the album "The Future Is Medium" coming out, because I was still buying NME at the time. I'm sure I owned Comforter then, so I've no idea why I didn't buy it. Insanity? Complete brokeness? Having one of my phases when I only listened to one type of music?
Anyway, having established that they had 3 albums plus 7 EPs, each of which had otherwise-unreleased tracks on it, I went to eBay. And promptly bought 4 of them. Hooray! I've set up one of those "email me" things, so eBay will tell me when it finds new Compulsion stuff listed... if it doesn't break without warning, again. Stupid thing.
I feel old, though. I'm looking at that site, The Forgotten Band Planet, and I remember almost all the bands listed. ( Mega City Four nostalgia... if that's the right word for it. )
