You fail.

You're right, I forgot that it was copying him, not that he actually had anything to do with it. It's been a while since I played videogames.
 
The writing was excellent, but the gameplay was atrocious. If the guns had actually done damage it would have been tolerable enough to get me to finish the game, but I couldn't even finish it as it was.
 
I don't like to buy used albums, although I know it would save me a lot of money.
 
It was my mom's Honda Odyssey. It has 150,000 miles and they also want me to fix a couple of paint scratches too. :(

Go to a local junkyard(or search on ebay), and see if they have any mirrors for your car.
It's not that hard to fix by yourself.
One mechanic quoted me $145 to change my brake light switch.
The part cost $30 and all I had to do is screw it on.

Oh, I see what you mean. I was being dumb.

Unfortunately, the plastic housing broke too, and I don't see any place to buy that, although I can't imagine a piece of plastic would be more difficult to replace than a mirror.

Drive the Honda Odyssey into a lake and buy a completely new car.
Christ, do you even have a big family to justify that monstrosity?

It's not that big. And my dog can ride in the way back. At the time my dad liked the high safety ratings and gas mileage didn't matter back in 2000. It turns out not to have been a wise purchase, we had to replace the transmission twice.

Now I'm back down to $185. Technically I don't have to buy all these Ornette Coleman albums at once, but if I'm going to buy them eventually anyway...

Order is placed, $200 is too much for one order of music, even if it's music I will probably buy eventually.

For anyone who cares, it was:
Beethoven Symphonies - Abbado
4 Seasons - Pinnock
Change of the Century, Shape of Jazz to Come, Ornette! - Ornette Coleman
Karma - Pharoah Sanders
Spiritual Unity - Albert Ayler
Ascension - John Coltrane
Grand Opening and Closing, In Glorious Times - SGM

Now I'll have to start considering the Henry Cow, Ligeti, Webern, and Vivaldi boxes.

They're good, I've heard them before, but I never owned In Glorious Times, and I have Grand Opening digitally, but I'm trading up because I want to see the artwork and the remaster (can you really remaster an album that's five years old?) has 2 bonus tracks I want.

I realized after I turned my car radio off how important classical music is to me, and Jared recommended me Pinnock and Abbado's conducting. I think Pinnock is actually on eMusic, but oh well, I don't mind spending extra money on the PURE AWESOME of the 4 Seasons. Granted, I could also borrow it from the library, but it's too good for that. 

You should have heard of Ornette, but I can understand why you haven't since you like that dirty rock music. ;-)

I tried to really get into SGM.
There are a few really amazing tracks on In Glorious Times and a few really terrible ones.
It's 2.5/5 perhaps.

I have never heard any of their albums because I have a problem with Mr Bungle. Mashing together pastiches is not progressive in my opinion because the individual sections are not progressive. There's a reason they were on a major label, I am elitist, etc. California is saved by the strength of its poppy melodies, but I heard Disco Volante once or twice and didn't find it particularly interesting most of the time, and the legendary status it has didn't help either.

From what I've read I might like SC3 more because of their more diverse and complex songwriting, but there are about a billion other artists I am exploring at the moment, and so they take precedence. Even though I do like California.

Harry you need to listen to Of Natural History. And the point of them is 20th century classical music taken into a rock setting, so I can imagine why you might not like it.

Nothing wrong with taking 20th century classical and putting in a modern rock context for me at all, it's a just matter of whether I feel it's done right or not.
I haven't heard Bungle in ages, so wont comment there.
