and i have another 10 cds to add, which will take me to 70. ready?

animal collective - hollindagain - $150 (found at cd warehouse in ottawa)

david bowie - heart's filthy lesson - $35

david bowie - christiane F soundtrack

micronaut - posi001

cevin key - music for cats

download - charlie's family

coil - musick to play n the dark 1, 2 - $500 (ordered from coil in 1999)

tea party - alhambra

tea party - 1991 eternal demo - $250 (windsor cbc radio copy. found for $2 at garage sale)

the unmarked are ~$20. 

that's another $1100, for 10 cds. i'm at close to $2500 for 70 and will be pushing $3000 for the first 100.

these aren't for sale, but i was curious. this is apparently market data from recent sales. the price is set entirely by past sales.

this is the top 7:

it falls off after that to round off the top ten, for now:

but there's only 50 cds uploaded so far. so, a full 20% of these old cds has a potential resale value higher than $25.

i understand some of these. but you could just get loveless or cf & m at the local store, couldn't you?

i've updated the next ten cds for the discogs list, so i'm up to 50 now.

there's a lot of list updates. i need to mirror that on my own site next and then get back to cleaning/installing.

i was at 145.2, so i'm going to eat. the next thing to eat is three big bowls of soup with four pieces of toast and cheese each, so i'm going to split each into two two meals and start with the toast. i'll eat the soup after i get back to 145. a couple of pieces of toast should be quick.

i was able to get the rest of the shelving in place last night before i fell asleep. i need another day or two but i'm almost done. i also got through all of those 14 cds except ep7, so we're moving to cataloging the warner list tonight before i get back to work for tomorrow morning.

the next ten will be 

pelican - australasia

hot hot heat - future breeds

belle and sebastien - dog on wheels single

fuck buttons - street horrsing

gorecki - symphony of sorrowful songs

mike keneally - the universe will provide

ps i love you 2008 ep

radiohead - airbag / how am i driving?

radiohead - karma police digipack single

animal collective - feels

i'm an extreme example. the shift in policy from carbon taxes, which are an extremely progressive form of taxation, to upper class tax cuts, which is extremely regressive taxation, will not cost your average taxpayer over $30,000 in the long run. 

however, carney's analysis is not based on math or facts, it's based on flawed political perception. it's magical thinking.

the actual facts are that most people are going to be worse off as a result of this shift, albeit not by as much, and they should slowly figure it out over the next few months, as the right-wing propaganda wears off and individual budgets assert themselves. people are going to realize they have less money now than they did a year or two ago and realize it's because they took away the carbon rebates, without sufficiently replacing them (unless you're rich. then you get a big tax cut this year. but that's only going to be the case for a very small percentage of people. most people are going to come up short.).

it's not entirely clear what the political ramifications will be once people realize they're actually economically worse off after having the carbon tax cancelled than they were when the carbon tax was in place. the political class seems to be trying to blame the decrease in income caused by the reversal of the carbon tax on grocery stores, on trump or on the phony war in the persian gulf. the phony war may have some minimal effect on inflation, but it won't be a fraction of the income lost from the removal of the carbon rebate for the vast majority of canadians. canadians should just stop to do the math and realize that they're $200 short this july because the government took the rebate away. however, canadians have proven that they're pretty stupid and pretty bad at math, so they might fall for the deflections and the liberals might get away with what is in truth a pretty devastatingly bad policy for low to medium income canadians, at the benefit of the corporate sector and the rich.

there are two major ballot issues that my votes in upcoming political cycles will be based on:

1) i will not support any political party unless it is explicitly secular

2) i will not vote for any party unless it promises to bring back carbon taxes

unless you take not one but both of these positions, you're wasting your time with me. i won't vote for you.

always good to make time for the classics.

it would have been expensive for canadian industry, but highly beneficial for individual canadians, who bought the corporate propaganda like the uneducated lumberjack retards that we truly are.

i'm personally out hundreds of dollars a years due to the change from carbon taxes to upper class tax cuts that my income is too low to qualify for and that was set to rise to thousands of dollars a year. the difference is a net decrease in my personal wealth of upwards of $30,000 overall, which i would have profited off of by not using carbon as an energy source. that $30,000 would have ultimately been transferred to me from users of fossil fuels, mostly industry, and consumers that support dirty industry.

the long term effect of trump on the culture of the republican party appears to be the adoption of what republicans once called a "victim complex", when they criticized hillary clinton for it in the 90s. in fact, a stark and objective comparison between clinton and trump on the question of actual policy would be enlightening. americans thought they were avoiding a hillary presidency and they basically got 12 years of it (in truth, 20 years of it!) in disguise.

poor america. it always loses. aww. so sad. 

take pity on the wretched americans.
