Well it's quite hard to break it in 2 pieces.

You could've just given it to someone!

I ought to have done that, as well... instead I remember just wanting to cry.

Eventually a sketchy roommate dude in Hopkinsville, KY stole my copy, and it really concerned me not in the slightest.

His 'karma' payback for that act would be either:

a) listening to it, and suffering

or

b) having such shit taste that he listens to it, and enjoying

Either scenario is a curse that I would not wish on anyone... so enjoy, BILL (whatever the fuck your last name was)

or

c) having to live in Hopkinsville, Kentucky.

When did you live in Hoptown? I've been teaching at the community college there since 1996.

It was some kind of various artists compilation, and in said add records where smashing all over the place as the announcer told you about all the "smashing artists" that the record contained.

My parents discovered me in the yard a few days later in the middle of destroying there entire record collection.
I remember it being a giant stack, probably a couple hundred records that i sent flying into the cement while trying to re-create the same cool "chart busting-ness" that i saw on TV a few days earlier...

I'm giggling insanely at this.

One time my little brothers tried to recreate a toilet paper commercial by rolling TP down the stairs....your story is like that times a thousand.

The only records I've ever destroyed are those concerning my taxable income. Ooops, wait, I guess I shouldn't mention that on the internet, hey?

When my friend and I were about fourteen we destoryed that live Meatmen record, which we bought because their lyrics (which they always thought to print on the back of the jacket) sent us into hysterical fits of laughter at the record shop, Vintage Vinyl in St. Louis. When we listened to the record we realized it would only tarnish the greatness of the lyrics for us and we smashed it.

We also broke my dad's copy of Tarkus, by ELP. We would have done the same to Led Zepplin I, but we liked to listen to You Shook me at 18 rpm for some reason.

That ELP record was in my father's collection but I'm sure he has no idea who ELP are.

Sure.But I didn't know anyone who like the Buzzcocks back then ( and still don't now )

Arvo Part LP, found in my grad school house. Not that I like Arvo Part, but I could've sold it and made some money.

pretty sure most forum users do.

i heard a big black bootleg where steve played a game called, "name that buzzcocks tune." where he then played the intro to a buzzcocks tune.

(it was "walking distance." which reminds me of the steven wright joke, "anywhere is walking distance if you have the time.")

altered a journey record with nun-chucks and scotch tape. seemed to improve the sound, but the owner wasn't pleased. no accounting for taste, i guess.

I remember I snapped a copy of "The Black Album" once. Things this bad need to be the object of my rage.
