Team Paulina on the Internets
At the risk of sounding old, or possibly completely confusing Brown Bear with all his youth and wide-eyed innocence… I’m going to throw a suggestion out there. We’ll call it a suggestion for a rainy/ Chicago day. Did you buy CD’s in high school? Did you burn CD’s in college? Did you listen to music before there were iPods? If you did, I have to suggest listening to your CD collection, if you still have it. Hopefully it will not be under the circumstances of my recent forced rediscovery of my CD collection [may none of you ever receive iPod error message 1429 = message of death]. But all those CD’s that I never got around to putting on my iPod are pretty damn good. I’m loving the Paul Simon Rhythm of the Saints album right now. Oldie but goodie. Also, have you listened to a Wilco album recently? This Team Paulina member is super-pumped. That’s all from Ms. Paulina. Mr. Paulina is at hard at work, or hard at figuring out how to properly observe my birthday in two shopping days!

I totally agree. I love my CDs. I even wrote a blog posting about it:

Don’t get me wrong, I-pods are cool and all. But I play my CDs all the time.

I live in a world of shame and regret called “I gave all my cd’s to Nate and the homeless poeple behind my house when I left Chicago”. I kept Radiohead: The Bends and maybe a few others. I hope that I kept Depeche Mode: Violator. (Sidenote: Jess and I may have kept BMG and Columbia House in business during our formative years.)

When I got to China I re-re-rediscovered old REM albums. Although it was mp3s (no reason to bring all those cds to china) - the experience was similar to what you are talking about. I hadn’t unpacked the ipod yet, hadn’t organized my world yet…it was just like when you move and have to unpack your stereo and cds first so you have music to unpack to, except this time I was the only redhead in the city.
Note: Beijing summer league blog post soon…i promise.

Did the Towns run the same BMG scam we did (along with everyone else in the world)? You know, the one where you sign up for the free CDs under your dead aunt esther’s name and cancel immediately? Things were good back when stealing music was legal.
