Monday, Oct. 21, 2002 - 11:16 am Now Playing: Alkaline Trio "Exploding Boy" Yep, that's the Alkaline boys covering the Cure. Cool. So, I had another nightmare last night. No dinosaurs this time. And no Freddy or Jason. Something far far worse. Something far more evil that Freddy, Jason, dinosaurs, and Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen combined. Kelsey. Ugh...I had a dream that I pulled up to her house, and she was there with her virgo. apparently in this dream, I wasn't yet aware that she had bailed on me for someone else. I remember the feeling of my heart breaking in my dream when I saw her with this guy. And how she seemed so casual about everything...like it was really no big deal. I couldn't believe that it was so easy for her to just forget about me. I guess I truly do feel that way...and I suppose that's probably why I had this nightmare. When I woke up, I still felt broken hearted...like how I felt when I first read her "virgo" diary entry. I need to stop thinking about her and her new guy because it's over. Forever. I wish she'd leave my head as easily as I left hers. "Sorry I'm late, I was out spoiling my liver. I couldn't wait. Cuz I was up for far too long today. I can't see staright, but the two of you look awfully pretty. You're fucking Beautiful!" So, it's official...my friend Chris and his wife are getting a divorce. Chris is having a really tough time with it. And to make ends meet, Chrishas decided to sell off his record collection. A collection he's been building for 15+ years. Out of a need to help, a want for some great stuff that I can't find on vinyl anymore, and an urge to protect what he may want back someday, I went to Chris' house yesterday and bought 90% of his collection. Here's what I got...it's a long list: Smashing Pumpkins - "Siamese Singles" 7" collection The Cure - "Why Can't I Be You?" 7" The Cure - 4 picture disc 7" collection of an interview with Robert Smith Spacemen 3 - "Playing With Fire" 10" Jungle Exoctica Vol. 2 LP Adorable "Fake" LP Agent Orange "Living In Darkness" LP B-52's "Wild Planet" LP Bauhaus "Bela Lugosi's Dead" 12" Bauhaus "Ziggy Stardust" 12" Beatles "White Album" LP Beastie Boys "Some Old Bullshit" LP The Cure "3 Imaginary Boys" LP The Chameleons UK "Strange Times" LP The Chameleons "John Peel Sessions" LP The Chameleons "Up The Down Escalator" 12" The Chameleons "What Does Anything Mean? Basically" LP The Chameleons "The Fan and The Bellows" LP Catherine Wheel "I Want To Touch You (Demo Versions)" 12" Catherine Wheel "Balloon" 12" Catherine Wheel "Black Metallic" 12" The Cure "Fascination Street" 12" The Cure "Disintegration" LP The Cure "Just Like Heaven" 12" The Cure "Japanese Whispers" LP The Cure "The Top" LP The Cure "The Head On The Door" LP The Cure "In Between Days" 12" The Cure "Happily Ever After (Faith and Seventeen Seconds) LP The Cure "Boys Don't Cry" 7" The Cure "Love Song" 12" The Jam "Beat Surrender" LP The Glove "Blue Sunshine" LP Smashing Pumpkins "Gish" LP Smashing Pumpkins "Siamese Dream" LP Smashing Pumpkins "Lull" EP Smashing Pumpkins "Mellon Collie & the Infinite Sadness" LP TSOL "Change Today?" LP Oingo Boingo "Dead Man's Party" LP Stereolab "Emperor Tomato Ketchup" LP Tones On Tail "Pop" LP Tones On Tail "The Album Pop" LP Tones On Tail "Tones On Tail" LP The Who "Tommy" LP The Who "Who's Next" LP Joy Division "Warsaw" LP Joy Division "Dante's Inferno" LP Joy Division "Unknown Pleasures" LP Joy Division "Still" LP Joy Division "Ideal For Living" 12" Joy Division "Closer" LP Joy Division "Substance" LP I got some great shit yesterday. I could probably now open a successful 80's/goth club if I wanted with all the "old" stuff I aquired. I told Chris if he ever wanted any of his stuff back, all he had to do was ask. I couldn't imagine parting with my precious record collection, but if I ever had to, I'd want it to go to someone who would appreciate it and get use out of it. And I'd want the comfort of knowing I could get it back if I ever wanted. I hope that makes Chris feel a little better about having to get rid of his records. "And I'm tired of sleeping with myself. I'm tired, and all these drinks and drugs no longer help."
