Useless Numbers – the 2008 version

Posted at 9:48 pm, Sunday January 4, 2009 by rich

In 2008 I bought 30 CDs, 103 DVDs, and 14 Blu-Ray discs. Quite a bit more than during the previous year, partly due to a lot of sales at Play and HMV, and partly due to watching a lot more TV series on DVD. I think I’ve watched all of The X-Files, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Angel, Band of Brothers, The Lone Gunmen, Red Dwarf, MASH, Black Adder, Black Books, and The West Wing this year, and I’ve just started on The Fast Show, and Star Trek: The Next Generation.

I also bought more books than I care to count, and dipped my toes into the world of graphic novels which looks like it could become an expensive habit.

Tickets have now been ordered to see Half Man Half Biscuit in Norwich and Leicester next month. Lots of driving, but it should be a good couple of days.

iPod downgrade

Posted at 10:01 pm, Wednesday September 10, 2008 by rich

I’m glad I bought my 160GB iPod Classic last year as they’ve now upgraded the 80GB version to 120GB, and dropped the 160GB completely. I wonder if it’ll become a sought-after collectors item?

Fuck Texas, Sing For Us

Posted at 8:07 pm, Monday August 18, 2008 by rich

I may not get to see all of New Model Army peform together as a band this year, but there will be a new live album titled “Fuck Texas, Sing For Us” out at the end of October, which will go some way to make up for it.

In addition we’re off to see Justin Sullivan and Dean White do an acoustic set in Stoke on Thursday which should be very good if the reports of their outing in Portsmouth are to be believed.

HMV must stop having sales

Posted at 7:16 pm, Saturday June 28, 2008 by rich

In the last week I’ve picked up the Rambo Trilogy, Planet of the Apes box set, Omen Pentology, and Black Adder – The Complete Collection, all for silly prices in the HMV sale.

I also ordered my ticket to see Spiers & Boden at Widcombe Social Club, it’ll be strange going to a gig in the dingy dump where I played skittles for 14 years.
