I picked up three new “used” CD’s the other day.<\/p>\n

The Smithereens: Blown to Smithereens, Best of the Smithereens
\nDepech Mode: People are People
\nRush: Moving Pictures<\/p>\n

I looked for something from The Smithereens on purpose, and found a couple of other things, but decided to get the “compilation” as it contained the three or four songs I was most familiar with (from the 80’s.) I had been flip-flopping through the four radio stations in the Atlanta market and found that 99x was playing some better alternative stuff for a bit, and yeah, some Smithereens came on. I hadn’t heard any for a long time, so it was an obvious thing to me I wanted to get what I could find.<\/p>\n

An aside to that is, once I came home I loaded my ‘new’ disc onto my laptop, it hit me: “Pat DiNizio” “The Smithereens” which connected me to VH1Classic, hearing in my head the VJ going on about ‘This is Pat DiNizio’ and it was a complete circle. I found that<\/a> on his website and now that’s another CD I want.<\/p>\n

I watched a “Hanging with Depeche Mode” on VH1Classic sometime earlier this year, and had wanted to get something of theirs, since I had none and it was just another one of those things, I liked them in the 80’s but never “bought any”, as with The Smithereens, that being the same case.<\/p>\n

So I wanted to for sure find a disc from them. I ended up getting what is their “US Debut” –a mix of new and compilation of UK hits, in 1984, that is. There was more there at the store (CD Warehouse) and I’ll delve deeper into Depeche Mode (and their newest CD came out this past year, which looks pretty good.)<\/p>\n

I also have been on a “Rush” kick (also hearing them on the local radio stations, well just two songs), not having any of their albums, but liking them from the radio from way back when. So I did look for them and found a few things, which getting “Moving Pictures” was more important to me than getting a compilation of any sort. The album is one that someone around me must have had [back in the early 80’s,] it’s familiar, beside the very well known tracks that had air play.<\/p>\n

As I stated above somewhere, I was at CD Warehouse, which is a store I really like, finding good used CD’s is a form of recycling that is great. \ud83d\ude42 We also find DVD’s and Playstation 2 games there. Not that we don’t get any of these things “new” for we do elsewhere, or there. They just have a good flow of used material that is awesome to take advantage of.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
