I do not wear this mask to protect me. I wear it to protect you from me.

I had a ton of cassettes by the time CD's came. I probably burned one before buying one but I don't remember what it was. The first music I brought was a 45. Popcorn by Hot Butter and you can find it on YouTube.

I had a 45 of Falco’s “Rock Me Amadeus” as a kid and it might have been the very first thing I ever owned [then] modern music-wise. Cassette singles were a thing in 1985, but didn’t really take off until a few years later as 45s were still the proper way to get singles.

HA! Fuckin Carmen. I had this one too. I even saw him live a few times.

He died in 2021 after a series of complications resulting from surgery to repair a hiatal hernia according to the wiki. I thought he got COVID.

Hah. That is kind of surprising, honestly. Would've figured he'd be an antivax idiot.

I went to see him live when I was a kid and he apparently couldn't get off the shitter (or he shat himself? it was something to do with poo poo) so they cancelled the show early. Hernia's no joke, but gently caress that man for being a piece of poo poo christofash gently caress.


The first 'secular' CD I ever owned was Daft Punk's Discovery, though, so that kind of makes up for it all.

I'm open to interpretation!
The first one I ever straight up bought for myself was In the Aeroplane Over the Sea when I was in high school. The case was really nice and had an insert with a list of who played what in the band. This was way after CDs went out of style but I still like em and have been meaning to just scoop more up as I find them.

This Is Cult Fiction - which since I didn't even have a CD player I had to listen to on my newly-bought PlayStation via the TV on my stereo separates stack. Woo!

A shameless cash-in on Tarantino, but it featured tracks by Lalo Schifrin, Isaac Hayes, Bjork, Hugh Montenegro, Angelo Badalamenti and more, so can't complain.

Apparently the PS1's internals make it a very good cd player and audio nerds will buy them just for that.

I think the first CD I bought was the one that was made by that Making the Band female version. I think there was more than one of those though. The one I had was silver colored or something I would recognize it if I i saw it. I owned tapes before that but it was like Disney music and stuff (shout out to just beyond the riverbend that was a banger, also goofy movie soundtrack).

if you get a new 45 these days chances are its got a little hole like an LP because i guess not everybody has the little disk adapters for their turntables now

Unearthing the lost and faded - but oh so mysterious parking lot CDs to see what kind of cryptic messages they might contain when played on your Sony Discman knockoff, was the real treasure hunt of the late 90s.

If you look at old British 45s, they had it down to a science. The large hole was also molded with a smaller hole like an LP with knockouts to remove the small hole portion and make it a traditional 45 for jukeboxes and the like.

Why America never adapted that is anyone’s guess.

the first CDs i listened to a lot of were the ones my parents got shortly after buying their first cd player. i remember queen: greatest hits and the trainspotting soundtrack were the main things i listened to. i was allowed to listen to the trainspotting soundtrack but not watch the film so had to just imagine the film.

but i remember the first cd i bought myself. JAN GARBAREK - RITES

i bought it because my drama teacher used it in drama class and i thought it was really sophisticated

Recycle Bin

The first full album I had (as a copied cassette tape) was Third Eye Blind by Third Eye Blind.

The first CD I received was either Astro Lounge by Smash Mouth (or as my mom would say, Smush Mouth) or Sugar Ray by Sugar Ray (the one where all the things HAVE GONE OUT THE WINDOW.)

After that it was whatever Grunge I could find at the used CD store. I think the first CD I bought with my own money was Greatest Hits by Alice in Chains. I used to listen to it on the bus and turned one guy onto them, but when I let someone else have a turn he reacted to Rooster negatively. "Ew is this country music?" No it is not country, it's grunge!! :mad:

I think I had a friend whose first CD must have been the Mega Man animated series tie-in soundtrack, because I remember him playing one song off of it all the time.

I don't even know if those songs on that CD were actually in the cartoon or not because, if they were, it seems like a really strange blend of "who is our target audience for this CD/cartoon?"
