the reason for this blog

I was sitting at my desk at work the other day, and thinking to my self I need another way to keep myself bussy when I cant sleep at night, And it hit me. Im going to do a small review and maby story of how I got into the band blah blah blah... of the CD's im my personal collection.Have no fear I still will do "so this is where all my money gos" on a regular basis. That is dedicated to all the NEW items that wind there way into my collection. This is about the existing CD I already have and have bin enjoying for next to forever. Maby just maby Ill get into the vinyl. Im not 100% if Ill ever get that froggy, but who knows. This is going to be on a random basis. What I mean by that is this is NOT a top ten, tweny, or one hundred count down. Or a list of the bands that changed my life. This is a blog about ALL the music in my collection. IN NO PARTICULAR ORDER just what ever I have at arms reach of what Im listning to at the time of post. At the same time it will contain ALL the good, the bad, and the shit Im ashamed of. Im thinking this is going to take a while so sit back and enjoy the ride.

# 7 the damned ''smash it up anthology 76-87''

The damned is one of the best english punk bands of all time. this is a best of 2x cd. If you are new to the damned this is a great started kit for ya to pick up. I have a shit ton of there 7''es I think almost all of them. but I digress, lets get back to the cd at hand. cd 1 has 21 tracks all fantastic disc 2 has 14 tracks again all great stuff. some of the best tracks are new rose, I fall, smash it up, the history of the world, elose, anything, ohheck the list can go on and on.
one great thing about this set is it comes with a tracking sheet of all the stuff they released so us vinyl nerds know whats out there and we have a great check list.
funny story, a few years ago my wife and I went to see the damned with the misfits, after the damned played Cap sensible was at the bar hitting on my wife. It was funny, when I walked over he turned into me and asked if she was my girlfriend I informed him she was my wife and he looked at me and said ''good show mate'' and shook my hand. He was awsome we talked for about two hours he was telling us about tourning with the clash, and sex pistols and all the mayhem that went with that. It was a great night to say the least.
