A thing I must own

[drwex]

(Yes, I'm full of trivia these days. You don't want to listen to me twitch about work anyway.)

I wish to own a copy of "Most of the Remixes We've Made Over the Years Except for One by Einsturzende Neubaten Because We Lost it and a Few We Didn't Think Sounded Good Enough or Just Didn't Fit In But Including Some That are Hard to Find Because Either People Forgot About Them Or Just Simply Because They Haven't Been Released Yet. A Few We Really Love. One We Think is Just OK. Some We Did For Free. Some We Did For Money. Some Just For Ourselves Without Permission and Some For Friends as Swaps But Never On Time and Always At Our Studio In Ghent."

Yes, that's really the name of it. It's by Soulwax, who are sometimes also known at 2ManyDJs. Most places online just list it as "Most of the Remixes" but that loses the mention of Einsturzende Neubaten so =P to that.

It looks like I could get it from a CA importer for $20 and pay about $3-5 for US ground shipping.

It also looks like there's one UK seller who'll sell it for about $10 US and only charge about the same $3 for shipping. But that could take 3-5 weeks, not counting customs delays. Do I want to try that or pay the extra $10 and get it sooner?

I say no! If it's worth owning, then the extra 3-5 weeks will vanish over the amortization of the product.

And it's well worth encouraging the more reasonable price. So I buy Inkubus Sukkubus from the U.K. for $12 and have it shipped instead of imported Inkubus Sukkubus here for $25.

Think of the children!

You should set a good example for your boys.

It is, of course, up to you to decide whether delaying your gratification in order to save the money is a better example, or whether being a die-hard fanboy is a better example. It could be either one, as I think of it.

It's just that "what would I want my children to do" is a great way to arrive at what the "right" thing is for a given situation.

I suppose just downloading it off The Pirate Bay or somesuch is out, eh?

ZOMG. Best title ever. iTunes would choke on it!

There is no Neubauten?

It can wait a few weeks. :P

Well, they lost it

I was thinking of you when I saw that title.

*grin* I ordered from the UK distributor. It'll get here when it gets here.

my god, man, it's full of WORDS!

I hereby dub this album The Whole Lotta Remixes Album. Screw them and their paragraph-long titles...
