no idea how many. over 5000 for sure. i think for sure. but my first one, that's a story. 1988. remember how they were trying to convince us to buy cds? a store in my college town in central illinois made a 'cd club.' you join for $20 and get a free cd and a discount (10 or 15% or something) on all cd purchases for a year. i joined and brought up my copy of the japanese pressing of john coltrane/wilbur harden 'countdown,' which cost a little over $20, disgruntling them about their unthought through club rules. another store gave you a free cd after you bought 10 (with a punch card like at coffeeshops), but somebody working there once thought it was a prepaid card and gave me my 6 cds for free. the club disappeared soon afterward. what can i say? i was a poor college student. god, they were really worried cds wouldn't catch on, weren't they? kg np: let's go crazy by refused, off a playlist i made of odd or obnoxious prince covers, to celebrate the concert tonight. greatness guaranteed. _________________________________________________________________ Express yourself instantly with MSN Messenger!
