You pull a CD out of your player and can't tell what it is because it doesn't say on the disc label? And you have to stick it back in and play some of it to figure out who it is?

Or even worse, when you play some of it and still can't figure out who it is?

Or when you get a new CD and it comes in a nice digipak so you unfold the cover and you can't get the friggin CD to release and you have to bend the shit out of it, knowing all the while you're triggering a spiderweb of microcracks that will someday render the disc unplayable?

Or you buy a CD when it first comes out cause you gotta have it and find it comes in a cheapass folded piece of flimsy paper made to resemble a minituarized but much less useful gatefold LP of yore, one that will surely fall apart unless the disc gets too scratched up to play first, and then a short while later you see it at the store being sold in a proper plastic jewel box?

Or you buy a brand new CD and then get it home and discover the jewel case is busted and falls apart when you get all the friggin plastic seals off?

Or you order a CD online and when it comes all the fingers are busted that hold the CD in place so when you open the case it jumps out and instead of falling harmessly to the floor, takes a gravity defying leap toward the only object in the room that could do it harm and gouges a deep, laser light scattering crevice across the playing surface?

Or you buy a new CD and get it home and play it and it starts skipping so you take it out and look at it more carefully and find that some yahoo left a jelly donut fingerprint on it while putting it in the case so you have to clean it before even giving it a listen?

But don't ya just love it when you find a CD that you can play all day, every day, for about a week or two and never get tired of it and can't think of anything you'd rather hear more?

Happy Belated Thanksgiving to all my Canadian friends and Happy Thanksgiving to all my Estados Unidos buddies and....well....Happy Thursday to all the rest of you goofballs!
