Yo! Check Out This Ride! (2004) + My First Concert

Image
OKAY!!! this was originally gonna be just about YCOTR, but I got it at a concert, so I guess I'll tell both stories. Finally It's Over!...Or Starting? It all started when The Aquabats last (and possibly final?) album released, Finally! (2024). The Aquabats tour every year, So why would this one be any different?  When the dates for the Finally tour released, There wasn't one in the state! Now granted, there was one in another one a 3 hour drive away.....But I wasn't fucking driving that far!......Unless it's for They Might Be Giants, I will be driving that far in november. Anyway, I can't drive, had no ride, and no money. so obviously I wasn't getting to that Aquabats show, So I had the great idea of emailing gloopy and begging/complaining!!!!!  Now if you don't know what gloopy is, it's the aquabats merch/management team...I guess. Anyway, I sent them an email, had a good conversation with Jessa (Rest in power) and left it at that. I didn't thin...

All My CD's And How I Got Them: Wiggle Bay (2004) + Hot Potato! The Best Of The Wiggles (2010)

  Okay, Part 2! I'm grouping these two together because, well, they're pretty much the same story. This is how I got Wiggle Bay and Hot Potato: The Best Of The Wiggles! Wiggle Bay popped up on ebay for a pretty decent price, so I thought I'd nab it before anybody else did. I went to purchase it and realized I was fuckin' one cent off. I had never and have never been angrier in my entire life Okay, No wiggle bay? Fine. I'll just get a different one, which is when I got my copy of Hot Potato! It's a library copy so it looks like shit, theres a lyric page ripped out, and theres writing all over the disc, but it doesn't skip! So who cares. A few days buying that, I got some early birthday money (Win!) so I bought wiggle bay! Funnily enough, Wiggle Bay shipped weeks before Hot Potato.  It was a win, but also a loss, but also a win! So I rate these purchases a Hip Hop Hooray out of a Gee C'mon.
