No need to be embarrassed about buying Murder She Wrote DVDs.

I heard Madonna's Dress You Up on the radio at this shopping mall I went to, and I loved it, so I just ordered her album Like A Virgin on Amazon.

Audio Technica ATH-M50x monitor headphones Lately I have been getting back into heavy metal of all kinds (I listen to a lot of music while I am working... I had youtube on in the background before but found myself getting distracted, and worse, making mistakes...), and while I have a decent pair of earbuds, it sure can't be healthy to have earbuds in for anywhere from 7-15 hours a day right?
This just so happened to coincide with my getting into high quality vinyl rips of albums (don't worry, I have all the albums on CD (seriously)). I know that you are losing what makes vinyl vinyl by converting it to a digital format, but I recently learned about how most CD releases are compressed/bricked to hell in an effort to make them sound "louder" and more "punchy" especially on portable players etc.
Even on my earbuds, the difference was night and day. A TON of heavy metal from the late 70s to mid 80s is only available on CDs that have been engineered to sound awful (almost all "remasters" are ruined basically). I can turn the volume up and up and up, and get no distortion, I can hear individual instruments whereas before it was just a wall of sound, drums actually have character and are not just thumping bass throughout the entire song. Never mind cases where the CD release just takes stuff out- "Stargazer" on Rainbow's Rising sounds totally different on CD since they removed the (very low key) synths that are audible on the album.
So with that in mind, I decided it is time to do my ears a favor and get some decent headphones. A lot of people suggested Sennheisers, but I was looking to spend 300 USD at the most, and every source I read for sub-300 USD Senns suggested they, while they were excellent for electronic, classic, and pop/rock music, they sounded lifeless for metal. The recommendation was to pair the Senns with a ~200USD portable amp. So I put that on the back burner and looked around.
A lot of people were recommending the ATH-M50 (which I eventually bought of course), especially for heavy metal, and it retails for just under 20,000 yen here, so I ordered and here we are.
At first I was a little disappointed. I was spoiled by the boosted bass of my earbuds, and the first albums I chose to listen to were not really good sources to begin with. However, the more I got used to these, the better things got. Biggest surprise: Slayer's Reign in Blood went from unlistenable to downright amazing- one band I could never see the appeal of, and now I am a fan.

You're probably wondering if I mean buy music I hear on store radios or buy Madonna albums. The answer is yes. Also, personally I'd have just bought Immaculate Collection. I just got that. Ha ha ha ha. But I never cared for Madonna's deep cuts usually. I just got that too. Ha ha ha ha.

Hee hee I just really like pop music, but at the same time I don't have a ton of exposure to pop artists in general, so sometimes I'll stumble across something that everyone knows about except me, and find that I want to get in on that music.

Myself and my sister are the only people I know that buy music on a consistent basis, and even then, my sister only buys new stuff.

The only music I "buy" these days is offer-exclusive stuff like the soundtrack CD for the latest Smash Bros or stuff I am unlikely to have another chance to get another physical copy of (like the time I got ZUN's music CDs at AWA when he was visiting the U.S. and a stand was selling Touhou stuff). Everything else? Either free stuff like Overclocked Remixes, soundtracks from games I own (sometimes bought, sometimes just yoinked from the data files), and Youtube uploads.

Bought a Gunpla of the Ez8 Gundam from Gundam 08th MS Team, plus the full DVD collection of said show.
This + the Gouf Custom Gunpla will look gooooood on my shelf.

Aside from a couple DVDs (Ex Machina, Gremlins) and a Blu-Ray (Taxi Driver), I don't think I want to mention anything else, haha. Man, I love Taxi Driver. Speaking of which, I got a haircut and wasn't paying attention and they ended up giving me a buzz cut, now my boss is calling me Travis (I don't have a mohawk though). Well, having just bought our first home I've been spending a lot of money on shit I don't really want to have to buy, like an induction range, vent hood, and refrigerator. But my wife also let me use some of our "house money" to get a new TV since my previous one is almost 10 years old. With the move and stuff I bought it about three weeks ago but only managed to set it up last night. Unfortunately, I can't set it up "for realz" yet because I can't find my HDMI splitter/switch. /firstworldproblems
