I know it can be overwhelming when you open your CD carrying case because there are so many CDs in there. How do you know which one to choose? Relax. Close your eyes and just point to a CD and wherever your finger lands that's the CD you're supposed to listen to - ThreadSky

Nobody else just goes through everything in alphabetical order?

ronzonie7.bsky.social•97 days ago

Post your CD case, let’s see how many counting crows albums you got

macg1llivray.bsky.social•97 days ago

I love this trick (I'm an eldritch horror born at the dawn of time)

puridenband.bsky.social•97 days ago

Hovering my trigger finger gently over the CD case attached to my beltloop like I'm about to draw and fire 💿

trans-porta-potty.bsky.social•96 days ago

Still got thousands of them. Thousands. lol

luchejimenez.bsky.social•97 days ago

Solid (case) logic.

smeent.bsky.social•97 days ago

Unless you already know it's Comfort Eagle

villawhatever.bsky.social•97 days ago

This is why you keep the front page of your 64-page CD binder loaded with only heaters like Now! That's What I Call Music Vol 1, Vol 2, Vol 3, and Seven Mary Three's debut album "Churn"

manatr0n.bsky.social•97 days ago

Not really a problem bc i have a cd case with 30 copies of jock jams

carnivorcupcake.bsky.social•97 days ago

Y’all ready for this?

samstrosity.bsky.social•96 days ago

I would swallow my pride, turn it inside out, then I’d point to one and listen to it.

jeffreymansell.bsky.social•97 days ago

Me later: man you really like everclear, huh?

naverick.bsky.social•97 days ago

This was the strategy I always took when trying to decide my next CD from my behind-the-visor cd case while driving 70mph on I-80.

It never led me astray.

tedcruznipples.com•97 days ago

I used to roll around with like 20 cds in the jewel cases in my backpack. The cd carrying case felt like the future had finally arrived

isny1.bsky.social•97 days ago

Well great. Kidz bop.

Windows 95 Professional Edition has some real bangers.

porcupinepopkin.bsky.social•97 days ago

Actually it does. https://www.vice.com/en/article/woah-weezers-buddy-holly-was-included-on-the-windows-95-install-cd/

russ41.bsky.social•97 days ago

Don't sleep on Edie Brickell 🤘

porcupinepopkin.bsky.social•97 days ago

Gimme some of that

jenx459.bsky.social•97 days ago

Sir, I’m driving. Should I be closing my eyes?

porcupinepopkin.bsky.social•97 days ago

Should you be on the internet while driving? 😳

jenx459.bsky.social•97 days ago

Why not? I’m already flipping through my cd case. 🤣

crimesprees.bsky.social•97 days ago

Sound logic. Carry on, then!

I love the fact that so many of your posts are just like little time-capsul nuggets straight from my formative years. It's like a little mini trip down memory lane each time. Thank you @eve6.bsky.social time machine!

thesociophi.bsky.social•97 days ago

I did that the other night, ended up putting my tender heart in a blender, and wrote you this entire ASCII word art thread.

The power of CDs knows no bounds.

It was post-2004 Staind and now I’m going to use it as a frisbee instead.

jordanrevon.com•97 days ago

And if you didn't want to listen to what you landed on? You only have yourself to blame for putting it in your CD case in the first place!

ceoartvandalay.bsky.social•96 days ago

Thanks, now I'm listening to the certified hood classic by a little band called "Windows 2000 Professional install disc"

popeawesomexiii.bsky.social•95 days ago

Welp. It was Weird Al again.

harrypujols.com•97 days ago

To relax, I listen to Psalm 69 by Ministry

wanderingrocket.bsky.social•97 days ago

I dont think I've ever heard a more 90s statement.

uofagrad97.bsky.social•97 days ago

My kid found my cd collection and was appalled by the lack of rap.

steven-dans.bsky.social•97 days ago

you've chosen the first laser disc of Beetlejuice

almightynoodle1.bsky.social•97 days ago

Trust the algorithm.

ricecooka.bsky.social•97 days ago

Just embrace the 20 year old mp3 CD folks

internetpal.bsky.social•97 days ago

Sarah Mclachlan!

internetpal.bsky.social•97 days ago

PERFECT! For racing through this snaking canyon.

tombtegtmeyer.bsky.social•97 days ago

I probably should have taken the Hillbilly Elegy audiobook out of my case.

tombtegtmeyer.bsky.social•97 days ago

It was a half-birthday present.

gpike.bsky.social•97 days ago

Haha I used to do this all the time. Then we got mp3 players with shuffle and I never looked back because I was always so scared of losing/damaging my precious CDs... >_>

margeatlarge.bsky.social•97 days ago

I have spindles waiting to be burned...

faustbot.bsky.social•97 days ago

Ah shit, I landed on the hit Sega Saturn game Clockwork Knight. Looks like I'm listening to data noise.

childlessgambino.bsky.social•97 days ago

are you sending this from 1997

technicallynathan.bsky.social•97 days ago

This post brought to you by the year 2002.

dasharkfromjaws.bsky.social•97 days ago

Incidentally, that’s how I also used to pick out movies at the rental store. Movie roulette.

usuallyannoyed.bsky.social•97 days ago

Coool

aeonlx.bsky.social•96 days ago

Dating myself here, but v relatable, i've done this many times in my life

dougadams.bsky.social•97 days ago

See? Stuff like this is why I used to follow Dave Lowery but he's just too heavy nowadays, you know what I'm saying?

blockyield.bsky.social•97 days ago

Gotta flip though it at least 3 times first

arizbrune.bsky.social•96 days ago

But you never mentioned how hard it is to peel that thin plastic away from the hard plastic to open the original case to get the CD into the carrying case.

hacim.bsky.social•97 days ago

I simply put all my music on one CD.

hazelazureus.bsky.social•97 days ago

you haven't seen my cd case's contents

there's a home-burned cd in there with "wallpapers" written on it that contains 15 songs all named untitled(number)

trawna.com•97 days ago

I’m assuming that Blur’s Song 2 is the first song, followed immediately by Mambo number 5.

mayamedia.bsky.social•97 days ago

I have the hardest time deciding what to put on the Victrola.

ericatlarge.bsky.social•97 days ago

It’s All in Your Head, man.

mrmalakai.bsky.social•97 days ago

Well, I guess Hanson it is.

arbitrary-noodle.bsky.social•97 days ago

How do you listen to a certificate of deposit? Also i don't have that many or keep them in some kind of case.

charlesesmith.bsky.social•97 days ago

mr 6 what should I do if my finger doesn't land on 90's alternative rock? Just kidding that's all of the CDs in the book

coolpapa22.bsky.social•97 days ago

Some of us also have early 00's garage revival.

bwphades.bsky.social•97 days ago

it's like bibliomancy but you get to listen to some tunes

k-heart-creator.bsky.social•97 days ago

What if I land on that special slot towards the back where I ran out of room but couldn’t decide which CD was worthier and put two in there

nunsovile.bsky.social•97 days ago

Did that, crashed into a tree. What do?

entersandwich.bsky.social•97 days ago

repeat that process once you find out the CD you burned in 2004 doesn't work anymore.

tessindapatch.bsky.social•96 days ago

The Wiggles?

rajohns0.bsky.social•97 days ago

Been late to work many times because I get lost in the pages

manwithidiotdogs.bsky.social•97 days ago

I’ll do that and then just decide to listen to Crimes by Blood Brothers.

sistermarycat.bsky.social•97 days ago

All these CDs (true, because I have a 20-year-old car with a CD player) but not one of @eve6 😢 Must rectify that.

casey0222.bsky.social•97 days ago

Oohhh. My car is a 21 year old Jetta! What kind is your car?

sistermarycat.bsky.social•97 days ago

2002 Buick Rendezvous. The electrical system is borked, if I play a CD or cassette tape the battery drains, and I don't have heat or AC. But for some reason I love this car and I plan to drive it until it dies.
