MSOTS vs. TFE (Dividing CDs at the end of a marriage)
 
So my soon-to-be-ex-wife and I divided our CD collection tonight, and while we had duplicates of most of the Pumpkins discography, we only had one copy each of Mary Star of the Sea and The Future Embrace. we had a lot of difficult decisions (who keeps the remastered Cure cds and who keeps the original versions? who gets Interpol, and for that matter, do either of us really want their last album? etc.), but the most difficult decision was Zwan vs. Billy solo. after all, the Pumpkins are the sole reason are relationship began.

so what we decided is that I'd keep Zwan, she'd keep TFE. we'll each rip the one we gave up, and will probably buy a new copy soon. we're both very anal about having actual CDs. i'm now questioning whether i made the right decision. do i really like Zwan more than TFE? can you even buy a copy of either album that isn't used? keep in mind that i've had about 6 beers, so that may have influenced my decision. i don't really know what i intend to accomplish with this thread.

are you even sad? that sort of division would kill me.

emotionalfriend 05-23-2008 11:55 PM

oh yes. it was a lot more difficult than i had imagined. i originally divided everything myself, and then we went through each of our groups to make sure I had it right. i separated into three groups...mine, hers, and argument material.

i say MSOTS based purely on length.

especially if it includes the dvd.

ESPECIALLY if it includes the stickers.

Why doesn't your wife post on netphoria? She's obviously not a true fan if she doesn't, ergo all her pumpkins shit should go to you. If you bring up this salient point, I'm sure she'll agree.

fluxequalsrad 05-24-2008 12:16 AM

beg her to get back with you.

she's not well liked here. in fact, i don't think i'm well liked here, but i think that's mainly guilt by association.

the dvd was one of the major reasons i chose it. that and "I'm Ready". I think I dislike that song more than any other I've ever heard.

Gish08 05-24-2008 10:25 AM

Eulogy 05-24-2008 11:26 AM

i'd probably take msots. more bad songs on tfe. but i do love me some mina loy, camera eye, and walking shade. and a100. mmm

trev 05-24-2008 11:41 AM

msots hands down, even without the dvd or extras. tfe is prob one of the best albums to only own digitally anyway. i mean who wants to look at that artwork?

are you bacemaster j

emotionalfriend 05-24-2008 02:20 PM

i'm sober now (final total was 9), and I think I made the right decision.

and for those wondering, I kept "Let It Come Down", as she didn't want it.

Rickpat12 05-24-2008 02:23 PM

9? NINE? OMG, dude you at least need to knock of a 12 pack.

emotionalfriend 05-24-2008 02:25 PM

i know. i dropped the ball. i started late.

Rickpat12 05-24-2008 02:27 PM

Ehh it's all good. I was living my life through yours, the way I wanted to do it. I was out of beer last night :(

i_adore_adore 05-24-2008 02:28 PM

MSOTS. You made the right decision.

MonteLDS 05-24-2008 02:33 PM

i would of taken TFE personally. seeing that i sold all my zwan stuff in one big lot.

mayday 05-24-2008 02:45 PM

Sorry to hear of your parting ways.

Either choice is ok. For me I love all the work equally. :)
(Accept one particular song which makes my ears bleed.)

A big plus is, if you remain friends you can share your stuff. Or if not than that's ok too.

Take care. It'll be ok. :)
