LaLa....one week later
WaaaHOOOO! I got my first LaLa disc on Friday. What a thrill! I even played it twice through the afternoon. I noted on the LaLa website that I had received the disc in great shape with the artwork. Someone had also received one of the discs I sent on Thursday, so I was able to send another title. On Sunday, another title was requested, so I packed these up and dropped them in the mail on Monday.
At lunchtime on Monday I was kinda anxious about the mail, so I went back to check. Sure enough, there were LaLa envelopes in the mailbox. THREE CD’s came today! I’m listening to them this afternoon to be sure they play fine. One has a hairline scratch, but so far it plays fine. The others are in great shape.
At this point, one week after signing on with LaLa, I have sent out seven CDs, received four CDs, and have one more coming. Five of the seven I sent are still in transit. Once they arrive, I should be able to get more titles from my want list.
I've been quite amazed at what is available through LaLa. There are some great titles listed here that you just don't usually see in the used CD bins at the remaining decent record stores. I’ve already received four titles that I have not seen over the last two years while scouring used CD bins in Buffalo, Rochester, Cleveland, Bowling Green, Columbus, Pittsburgh, Binghamton, and here in Morgantown.On the flip side, I do see LOTS of the same ole, same ole: Crash Test Dummies, Joan Osbourne, Soundgarden, Collective Soul, Spin Doctors, Temple of the Dog, Stone Temple Pilots, and of course...Mother Love Bone. These seem to inhabit every single used CD bin I paw through, and they are usually marked as $1.99 or $2.99. These titles are here as well, which is kinda disappointing but I guess it is to be expected. After all, if I can find listings for Jules & the Polar Bears, or early Cure titles, or Comsat Angels, or even the first three Ultravox titles, then I guess it's okay to see those usual suspects.
For me, I see LaLa as a music trading pool. After reviewing much of my collection a couple times in the last week, I think much of it can be listed. I keep asking myself, "When did I listen to this last?" The answer hasn't been good in most cases. If you say the same about your collection, maybe it’s time to sign on to LaLa and move out the tunes you don’t listen to anymore and get some new spins.
That was just too exciting. Time for a nap.
