"Best/Worst Spur of the moment purchase?"

We've all done it. Just bought an album/DVD/book on a whim. Real spur of the moment thing.

So what's your best/worst whimsical purchases?

My best was Muse - Showbiz.

I'd only heard one single from it, and for some reason I felt a bit down that day and wanted to buy something to cheer myself up.

So I bought that. And it certainly did the trick! I tremendous album that I still listen to.

You?

I bought a book called The Good Soldier Svejk by Jaroslav Hasek because it had a nice cover. Apparently its quite well known (except by me). Anyway its about this soldier, Svejk, during WWI: he reminds me of Baldrick from Blackadder. It really is the funniest book I've read in a long time. Go get it, and pretend you're a cultured bohemian like me.

Worst purchase: a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles beat-em-up for the SNES. It cost about fifty quid, and I'd been saving up for something good like Zelda or Mario Kart. But I go to the shop, and did I manage to igore the hype and a big turtle display? Did I $#&%!

Worst is Ash - Free All Angels, hate that Album now, really can't remember what I saw in it.

(I think it was Sometimes, can't remember)

Everyone seems to have grown a dislike to that album since buying it.

The best would have to be Incubus - Morning View

I bought the Next Friday Soundtrack the other day which is pretty good really.

Best: NOFX, Punk in Drublic

Worst: Lyricist's Lounge Volume 2 (one good song the rest is dire, dire Hip Hop don't touch with a barge pole)

Best : Weezer - Pinkerton. Amazing emo album.

Worst: Went to see Pitch Black on a whim. Terrible movie.

On a purely inquisitive note, what on earth made you think that a Kittie album would be anything else?

Best most recently was "Iron Monkey", got it cheap with Crouching Tiger, thout it'd be a bit pants "but hey, its cheap" but found it to be one of my favourite Kung Fu films ever!

Worst, recently was probably Dancer in the dark. Amazing film, but too sad to watch more than once. Should have just rented it.

Worst;

Kittie ~ Oracle (turned out to be an album of goth screaching and screaming)

Ash ~ Free All Angels (Tried so deperately to like this band but can't)

Blair Witch OST (worst film soundtrack ever)


Best;

Charlotte Church ~ Enchantment (v.relaxing when stressing over coursework, 10 mile tailback on way to Uni e.t.c.)

Shania Twain ~ Come On Over Baby (ended up buying every album she has done)

Bring It On OST (very lively and great music from peole I've never heard of)

Worst has to be
Ash-Free all angels
Bad Religion-Process of belief
What lies beneath


Best...
Jimmy Eat World-Salt Sweat Sugar
Lord of the Rings

Best - Garbage "Version 2"

Worst - Faithless "??"

Best: dandy warhols album
