Have You Ever Destroyed an Album?

nbakid2000 · 08-23-2011, 05:35 PM

Either intentionally or by accident.

One time I had a CD (it was my brother's copy) and put a ring around around the edge by pressing on it as I spun it in the portable disc player. I think I was curious to know how hard I had to press to actually get it to happen, plus it wasn't my copy, plus I may have been mad at him for something.

I think that's the only time I've ever intentionally harmed an album.

Accidentally, I may have dropped a disc on the pavement and scratched it once or twice, if that.

Well, not an album, but my original copy of Tekken 3 was destroyed by my brother truing to make it more 'shiny' by using water.
I was pissed.

I've had a few cassettes get tangled up and destroyed inside the tape deck but I've never had any CDs destroyed. I suppose that's one of the strong points of a CD, they're very durable and not easily damaged. Although there are some CDs I've bought over the years that I wouldn't mind destroying.

I ended up throwing a couple childhood CDs in the microwave. Will Smith maybe. Just cause I needed any CD to explode. CDs in microwaves are fun.

I had a little hobby of taking CDs that didn't burn properly and were useless to make weird designs in it. I would take a lighter and melt the CD some then throw it in the freezer so the design stays put.

i only wilfully destroyed one CD before - it was an Ohio Players comp of their early hits

i thought that it was a comp of their funk hits, but no, it has some of the ****tiest soul pastiches ever - i burnt it literally with a lighter

on a side note, i have a multiple personality disorder, during an episodes, i threw away a few "demonic" CDs:-

Slayer - Reign in Blood
Iggy & The Stooges - Raw Power (Bowie mix)
The Psychedelic Sounds of the 13th Floor Elevators

and a ton of pirated DVDs, mostly gory and violent stuff

I ordered The New York Dolls Roir Sessions album from a mail order company and ended up being sent The Mekons New York live album (Also on Roir so I can see how they made the mistake)

I phoned them and told them of the error and they sent me the right one without asking for The Mekons album back.
I listened to it, thought it was shit, and then decided to use it as a ninja star against the shed door.
