Just a random blog about CDs. A few lists really.. I’ve just started buying CDs in the past few months. Original CDs, that is. I used to buy bootlegs quite often in Brunei. Now I don’t think I can bring myself to do that. These guys make decent music for a living. Who are we to steal it from them for our own pleasure?
These are CDs I wish to get in the future. If you’re nice enough, you can buy them for me :P Haha

Okay. That’s a massive list of lists I’ve put on there. I know some of them are pretty harsh, and outright disrespectful. But that’s just me giving my opinion on which bands I like and I don’t like. I don’t mean to offend anyone. And I don’t mean to make fun of other people’s musical preferences. I don’t mind if you like My Chemical Romance or Simple Plan. Just don’t expect me to join in when you’re discussing whether Gerard Way should’ve never dyed his hair or if Simple Plan is the best punk band ever (oh hell, no).
