I found a really good deal on an unopened copy of the deluxe edition of Janet Jackson's 20 Y.O. CD on Half.com and ordered it last week. I was unaware that it came in a special package instead of a jewel case so I am a bit pissed off, because I am OCD like that. There is a standard edition that does come in a jewel case, but I am trying to find out whether or not it comes with the original artwork or the fugly ass fanmade artwork (IMO). I have emailed multiple sellers on Half.com inquiring about the matter, but have yet to receive a reply. I don't want to order anything until I am absolutely sure I am getting the standard edition that comes in a jewel case with the original artwork. Might have to just look around for it locally, which might cost more, but it would sure be a lot less stressful. Gotta love being OCD... NOT!

It's finally out and its AMAZING! I got my copy already (thanks Briefs!) and I give it 2 thumbs WAY up. Go buy it!

Like most (or what I would like to think of as most) gay guys, I am a Madonna fan. Her new album entitled Hard Candy will be released on April 28, 2008 and I am really looking forward to it. The artwork was recently revealed and I am really torn on whether or not I like it. I dig the candy background and her skin tone, but I am not digging the font, the hair, and the clothes. It seems as though the artwork is a blend of a candy and boxing theme and I am just not understanding what the boxing theme has to do with it. Fortunately its the music I'm more interested in so it doesn't really matter whether or not I like the artwork.

Even though we live in an age where most people probably buy songs and albums from iTunes or similar sites, for some reason I still like having the physical CD, even though I convert it to a digital format to listen to on my computer and iPod. I decided to go through my CDs to see if there was anything I was willing to part with. Of the 105 CDs I have, I decided to part with 9, but at least that puts me into double digits again.
