D’oh!

So I went to Borders today to buy some geeky CDs (music I’ve found by playing my geeky computer games, ie. classical music) today. I was looking for “Pictures at an Exhibition” by Moussorgsky. I found one CD that was advertised as a hybrid CD/SACD. So, on one layer of the disc, it’s a regular CD, playable on any CD player, while the other layer is SACD, Sony/Phillip’s fancy new CD format that’s basically like DVD-audio, except you need a special player. But then I saw another SACD that had more and better songs on it, in addition to Pictures at an Exhibition. So, I grabbed it. I was so excited, I walked up to the counter, paid and left. I came home to play through my new CDs and realized I had bought BOTH of the discs - so I have two versions of the same thing. To make things worse, the second CD I got ONLY works on an SACD player. D’oh! This is one instance where ignoring details comes back to kick me in the butt. :(So, now I have to buy this.The worse part is, that I can’t rip SACDs, cuz no computer drives recognize them, unless they’re hybrid CD/SACDs.Oh well :(Here’s all the new music I’ve obtained since my last music post:The Breeders - Cannonball It was there and it was cheap. Had to grab it.Tricky - Pre-Millenium Tension I keep thinking that the next Tricky CD I buy will have the songs that are remakes of Massive Attack songs, but it never happens. Still the first half of the CD is pretty good.Denali - Denali This group from Richmond sound alot like Portishead, which is a very good thing.Pearl Jam - Yield I had this CD before losing it in Boston. It’s good, in a Vitalogy sort of way. It was cheap, too.Nerd CDs:Handel - Gloria I guess this was a bunch of works that were undiscovered until 2000 (well, 1983, actually) (Handel lived from 1685-1759). It’s good Christmas music (hence the name).Valery Gergiev w/Wiener Philharmonkier - Moussorgsky - Pictures at an Exhibition, Night on the Bare Mountain This is the first one I saw, which I can play on my current equipment.George Szell w/the Cleveland Orchestra - Grieg (Peer Gynt Suite No. 1, Op. 46), Bizet (L’Arlesienne Suite No. 1), Mussorgsky (Pictures at an Exhibition, “Dawn on the Moskva River”) This is the better songs, but SACD-formatted one. I think my parents have an SACD-compatible player…
