Oh, how life has changed. I used to feel that getting a CD for Christmas was kind of lame, because anytime a CD came out that I wanted, I just went out and bought it. Now though, I practically never buy them. Ben Folds had an EP come out a month ago. Dave Matthews' solo album came out two days ago. Normally I would have bought both of those on the release date; I might have even pre-ordered them (I've got Christin's copy of Ben Folds here already, and I'll just have to borrow Meltons Dave Matthews when I get a chance). But now, I guess that 15-20 bucks means more to me than it did before. On top of that, I think getting a CD for Christmas would be great.
Posted by at September 25, 2003 12:55 PMi feel the same way booth. i just don't buy CD's that way any more. i think it's the woman factor though. now that i have to spend money on lacey, i just can't spend money on cool stuff any more:)
seriously though, in my defense, i waited on the ben folds ep only because all those songs will be on the lp that comes out early next year.
Posted by: Uncle Josh at September 25, 2003 01:05 PMNot true, Josh. According to Ben Folds himself, about the EP's and album coming up: "my plan at the moment is to take three songs from the EP's and put them on the full length. i may arrange and record them differently.. i'm not sure. the rest of the full length album to be released early next year, will be new"

Posted by: Shannon at September 25, 2003 01:17 PMi didn't see the quote you mentiond christin. i only read that he would be taking the ep's and putting them together with new material for his new album. that was a while ago though, so i guess his plans have changed.
