Your friend is silly.

There are two factors at work:

1. He's a ****ing Luddite. Seriously. I mentioned mp3, and he literally said "and what kind of file is that?"

2. He prefers a go-between because his wife is a bitch who complains about him spending his money on "useless crap".

You're more right than you know. Check this list out: it's all the stuff he's having me either buy or burn onto CD-Rs for him.

Instead of ordering records for him, you should order him a new wife! I'd advise opening that package though when it arrives.

I'd open his wife if she wasn't such a munter.

He has interesting taste but if he's looking for original pressings of those items then I hope he has a nice job and if he does then he can also tell his wife to eat a knuckle sandwich.

He is adamant about 1st pressings with all inserts etc intact. Yeah, in addition to his main job which he pays his bills with, he tells me he has another job that is just for purchasing records and cassettes.

Your friend is silly but I like him.

He's good people.

I'm guessing Luddites aren't that much like the Amish if that's his music taste.
