Currently Reaching Astounding Levels of Embarrassment and Shame, originally uploaded by krisalis903.
So I’ve begun the arduous task of wading through my collection of CDs, converting the ones I really want to digital, and sorting them for sale or storage.
As I’m filing through some of these CDs, I think I can only attribute my having some of them in my collection to temporary insanity. Like this one, for example, the Garth Brooks album where he was parading around as some fictional character named Chris Gaines. Seriously? I paid money for this?
On the other hand, listening to the album I realized that among the duds, there were a couple of really good songs that I liked, such as “It Don’t Matter to the Sun” and “That’s The Way I Remember It.” And “Lost in You,” one of the more popular songs from the album, was a really great love song. It’s unfortunate that it’ll probably be easily forgotten due to the overall failure of the whole record. At the time, I had no idea what he was doing when he released it, but after doing some research this evening, I found out the CD had been released as a pre-soundtrack to a movie in which Brooks would play the character Chris Gaines and that the movie would follow. But after the soundtrack flopped, they dropped plans to make the movie.
The unfortunate thing is it’s completely non-existant these days. They don’t even have the album artwork stored anywhere for me to download and import to iTunes! It’s not even part of his discography on his website. It’s almost as if this album never existed. Hmm, maybe I should keep it. It might be worth something someday
