I think everyone has a band that as soon as they see a release by them, they just have to snap it up. On a lesser scale I'm like that with The Axis of Perdition (owning everything including the 20 copy demo CDr), but the band that takes the cake is Khanate.

So, are there any bands where you've spent stupid amounts for releases you already have? Or am I just a prick?
To me, Altar of Plagues are one of the most promising metal bands coming out of England at the moment.

Take Wolves in the Throne Room formula black metal, mix some Cult of Luna and Mono and you've got one of the best albums of the year IMO.
Slightly buzzed and looking at my life so far, interested in seeing how everyone else is doing.
When I was growing up I wanted to be a Tornado pilot. This is most probably because my dad was in the RAF so I was always living on/near airbases, going to airshows and the like. This dream was shot down because:
A) My eyesight was fucked from an early age
B) I've always sucked at maths
It's still my dream job though I'm planning on joining the RAF in a few months as a photographer.
After I left school I had about a month just sitting around playing video games before getting a job at Pearl Assurance. It was just a general admin job, got it easy since I've always been good with computers and I'm pretty good at dealing with people. Worked there for 2 years before quitting in August 2006 to go to college.
Went to college on a audio/radio production course. Stayed there for 4 or 5 months and then quit because it was shit. The tutors were never there and when they were they just told us to get on with our work. There are only 4 people left on the course as far as I know.
In June 2007 I got my current job which is just being a "sweeper" at Anglian Water logistics. That means if anyone is too busy to do a job they can pass it on to me and I get to sort all the shit out in the warehouse. I also do a lot of overseeing of the truck loadings, make sure everything is put on correctly etc. so nothing rolls off. Pretty shit job and my boss is a twat, but I'm sticking it out for now.
As I said I'm hoping to join the RAF in 2/3 months as a photographer. I was thinking about it since July last year, but back then I wanted to be a weapons techie but since I don't have the relevant maths qualifications it would be nigh on impossible for me to make it. I'm doing alot of exercising and mental arithmetic (as well as taking photo's) to try and prepare myself for the tests.
Now you (no tl;dr's please)
