Edmund Sparkler: Jul 4, 2003; For twelve years, you have been asking: Who is John Galt? This is John Galt speaking. I am the man who loves his life. I am the man who does not sacrifice his love or his values. I am the man who has deprived you of victims and thus has destroyed your world, and if you wish to know why you are peris

When I was a teenager, I bought like 1000 records at auctions for pennies each. Then lost them over time because I'm dumb.

My first CDs were:

Green Day - Dookie
Fugees - The Score
Boyz II Men - The Remix Collection
Public Enemy - Fear of a Black Planet
Kid Frost - Hispanic Causing Panic
De La Soul - De La Soul is Dead

I think that's a decent start to a CD collection for the time.

I was fifteen in 1996 which was a pretty poo poo year for music. I had a fuckton of cassettes and my mom’s record collection, but didn’t get a CD player til that year, almost solely for bootlegs. Remember when used CD stores had an “import” section that was nothing but live poo poo and obscurities? That was my jam.

I bought a lot of that stuff because I was a nerd and I remember classmates thinking my CD collection sucked because it was a lot of import singles with a capella, instrumentals, and b-sides. I used my school's G3 Macs to make a mashup of Eminem's "Just Don't Give a gently caress" over Beatnuts' "Watch Out Now.

I think that was one of those things back in the day that separated a casual music listener from someone who actually wanted to do something with music.

first album i bought was Paul's Boutique by the B-Boys, also got Demon Days and Master of Puppets that same year.
Somehow ended up turning into a love for Rage Against the Machine...
and then instrumental hip-hop...
and then electronic...
the worst timeline, truly.

That reminds me, that as lovely as The Source was, especially the way Benzino used the magazine to promote his terrible albums and tried to use dirt on Eminem as a stepping stone for his rap career, their 100th anniversary issue had a list of all their 5 mic albums. I bought Paul's Boutique based off their recommendation as well as several others. They were good recommendations.
