alm034, I did the same thing – bought my kid a cd of songs I thought he’d love because the list showed all his favorites, but didn’t realize they were sung by a bunch of kids. What a joke! He tossed that one out quickly in favor of the NTHICM cds.
By the way, I’ve seen Yanni in concert twice – he rocks!
I loved Jewel’s “Foolish Games” cd and listened to it all the time. So I bought her Christmas cd and couldn’t stand it. I haven’t bought another one of her cds since.
In grad school I listened to the college radio station a lot. One day I called in to answer the “name the last 5 songs/artists played” contest in order to win a free CD by a new artist. I had no idea who the artist of the prize CD was, but I always enjoy discovering new music and figured a free CD would be nice no matter what. The CD I won? Andrew W.K.’s “I Get Wet”. After looking at the cover, my heart sank — I knew immediately that I would hate it. In fact, I almost threw it out without even listening to it. But, not wanting to be so close-minded, I decided to give it a try. Let’s just say that by the time I got to the track called “Party Til You Puke” I had had enough. I ended up giving it to a friend who worked out a lot (I figured it might be good to listen to while running or something.) I know a lot of critics praised the album (including EW’s own David Browne), but I thought it was the biggest pile of garbage I’d ever heard. At least I didn’t waste my money on it!
A 24-case of diet 7up. Wait, hear me out. I thought I was buying regular 7up, until I got the case home. Since it was 24, I decided to put my girl panties on, woman-up and drink the stuff. It was awful. AWFUL. My dad said bring it to him he would man-up and drink it. Nope. He couldn’t even get down a whole can. So, brother said bring it on. Well, he couldn’t drink it either. So my other brother (who has 4 kids) said bring it over, his kids will drink anything. Well, his kids wouldn’t drink this stuff. He asked it I wanted it back. I told him to just throw it out.
On a trip to my Grandma’s, I noticed that she had rented Lambada from Blockbusters. When I asked her about it, she said she had rented the movie about Ritchie Valens because she had heard it was really good. I thought about not telling her she got the wrong movie, but decided against it. She didn’t seem too upset when I told her what the movie she did rent was about so I’m not sure if she took it back or not. Pervert.
