RE: The first music purchase in my life (I'd like to know yours as well)
I think the Scorpions are awesome. I always forget how many great songs they had. I think my first album I ever bought was probably some obscure contemporary Christian artist like Carmen or Petra. Beyond that I think my first secular cassette was either the Top Gun Soundtrack or Huey Lewis and the News (Sport or Fore). I remember joining the BMG music club and having my CD collection expand about twenty fold within the matter of a couple of months! That dang shipping was just so expensive though...
yeah i joined Columbia house at 10 different addresses and different names. Just to prove that it didn't really matter what name you used i would sign up under obvious fake names like Bill Clinton and Chuck Norris but they still sent the CD's.
I guess enough people paid for the absurd "shipping and handling" fees (gotta love a "handling" fee of $3 per disk) to justify this business model though.
Haha, that is pretty funny. I remember the first thing I did was send them a letter asking them to change my subscription to only send me the monthly cd if I wanted it. Not automatically like their default model. Probably saved me a ton of money.
