Ed S Posted January 4, 2005 Report Posted January 4, 2005 I decided to try the yourmusic.com experience on New Year's Eve I did pick up a few Miles Davis Boxes with that first order - but they don't count. And I'm not counting any of the monthly yourmusic.com shipments. So, I'm 3 days in and my hand is still steady. Quote
Ed S Posted January 4, 2005 Report Posted January 4, 2005 Hmmm... do discs that I purchased last year but haven't received yet count? I'm awaiting an order of Jazz in Paris discs... Well, as I did the same, the answer is 'No', they don't count. Same goes for a few Mosaics I ordered last year I'm not counting sets that I knew were coming out in 2005 like the Hill, the small group swing etc, etc. I decided to buy them in 2004 and would have if not for Mosaic's release schedule. Not my fault, so they're logged in 2004. Quote
Son-of-a-Weizen Posted January 4, 2005 Report Posted January 4, 2005 (edited) I hit Borders today to burn a gift card but walked away without anything. Didn't really see much except for another 'One for All' Criss Cross that I don't have. Last Amazon Japan order was 'sprung' from their warehouse on Dec. 29 but that was a 2004 order...so I'm going to sit back & wait 'till that Pepper Select comes out...and of course move in for the kill on a certain eBay cd that'll come due in a short while. Rhymes with 'Fuzzy Days' B-) Edited January 4, 2005 by Son-of-a-Weizen Quote
Chuck Nessa Posted January 4, 2005 Report Posted January 4, 2005 As I understand it, you folks could all buy cds for me and be true to your pledge. Contact me for the address. Quote
Ron S Posted January 4, 2005 Report Posted January 4, 2005 As I understand it, you folks could all buy cds for me and be true to your pledge. Contact me for the address. Such a selfless act of altruism. Quote
Guest Chaney Posted January 4, 2005 Report Posted January 4, 2005 As I understand it, you folks could all buy cds for me and be true to your pledge. Contact me for the address. Sorry Chuck. No can do. I've decided to adopt Ed's brilliant line of thinking. If my intent was to make certain music purchases within 2004 but I was stopped / temporarily inhibited from doing so because of finicky release schedules or (somewhat more likely and my variation on Ed's concept) lack of funds (no, not broke, "temporarily inhibited"), I'm allowing myself to make those purchases -- guilt free -- within 2005. Intent, ladies and gentlemen. Intent. Yes. I believe I can live with this plan. You are a man of brilliance, Mr. Swinnich. Quote
gslade Posted January 4, 2005 Report Posted January 4, 2005 I made no pledges, as I am already completely disgusted with myself and my inability to stop buying music! I did not want to disappoint myself again this year as I already have low self esteem. So, I made a purchase from Chuck, Mosaic (the Jazztet and the Woody Herman), and an order from CD Universe, and only three days into the year! Starting the year with a Bang and now broke but happy!

Ron S Posted January 4, 2005 Report Posted January 4, 2005 And do any of these brilliantly crafted defenses--(1) all-out insanity, (2) utter shamelessness, (3) previous intent, (4) Nessa Charitable Foundation appeals--actually work with anyone's wife or significant other??? Quote
Guest Chaney Posted January 4, 2005 Report Posted January 4, 2005 Significant other? Don't currently have one. (Not in the budget.) Quote
Ron S Posted January 4, 2005 Report Posted January 4, 2005 Significant other? Don't currently have one. (Not in the budget.) Perhaps if Mosaic issued the Complete Significant Other with alternate takes? Quote
chris olivarez Posted January 4, 2005 Report Posted January 4, 2005 I pulled the trigger on a couple of cd sets just before the end of the year. More purchases are coming soon. Quote
chris olivarez Posted January 4, 2005 Report Posted January 4, 2005 Significant other? Don't currently have one. (Not in the budget.) Perhaps if Mosaic issued the Complete Significant Other with alternate takes? Quote
Jazzmoose Posted January 4, 2005 Report Posted January 4, 2005 Significant other? Don't currently have one. (Not in the budget.) Perhaps if Mosaic issued the Complete Significant Other with alternate takes? I dunno...I have a feeling that if I tried any 'alternate takes' I'd get a frying pan upside the head... Quote
John B Posted January 4, 2005 Report Posted January 4, 2005 Significant other? Don't currently have one. (Not in the budget.) Perhaps if Mosaic issued the Complete Significant Other with alternate takes? Only if significant other was mastered by Malcolm Addey. Quote
Stefan Wood Posted January 4, 2005 Report Posted January 4, 2005 Dusty Grrove (da bastards!) have a bunch of new Fresh Sound releases that are damn tempting......... Quote
Peter Johnson Posted January 4, 2005 Report Posted January 4, 2005 Significant other? Don't currently have one. (Not in the budget.) Perhaps if Mosaic issued the Complete Significant Other with alternate takes? Only if significant other was mastered by Malcolm Addey. Then I'd give Malcolm Addey a frying pan upside the head! Quote
Ed S Posted January 5, 2005 Report Posted January 5, 2005 Plan B - for when I run out of sets that I wanted to buy in 2004 but weren't released yet: New Batch of RVGs coming out. I pass on all of them since I already have them. That's 6 x $10 or $60 bucks saved, right? Do that with the next batch of RVGs and that's $120 So now I've got $120 extra bucks to spend. Bingo - I bag a Mosaic and haven't spent anything. Quote
Guest Chaney Posted January 5, 2005 Report Posted January 5, 2005 Are you passing on pre-ordering or ordering? If I were you, I'd determine who has the RVGs at the highest price (Borders, probably. or maybe a retailer in Europe or Japan) and pass or ordering from them. Quote
Ed S Posted January 5, 2005 Report Posted January 5, 2005 I see your point. I think I'll not order and save myself more money. Quote
Ron S Posted January 5, 2005 Report Posted January 5, 2005 Do you guys have anything to do with the Federal Budget? Quote
