I'm because I lent an original issue of Pete Rock's Petestrumentals to a guy at work last night. He phoned me and said it fucking BROKE! How the hell does a person break a CD??

That CD was soon replaced in the market with a revised version with different tracks, so it's not gonna be the easiest to replace.

Last time I fucken lend someone a CD

Did it "break" or did he just not wanna give it back and made up some excuse? Either way...hit him with a

Always giv them the COPY of the CD not the CD itself

..just to check ... I mean if he's really lying to keep the CD himself... ask him to give you the broken pieces ehmm... if he asks why... just pretend you have techniques of repairing this with Scotch tape

Dancelot said:

Good idea (if you haven't already got it)!

No, he is bringing me the broken copy. I know it is actually broke.

But damn, I should just lend a burnt copy next time.. that's a good suggestion Izak.. A cd-r would have cost me much less grief than replacing the original, and the "cost" of not trusting this guy anymore.

That guy gets the

That sucks I'm not too sold on the CD-R idea though. I don't want to go through the hassle and expense (though both are minimal) for that. If the album is good, I want the person to go out and buy it! That's just me...

RipHer2Shreds said:

Please, if they want it and they keep buggin ya, just giv em a coy of the CD. it aint gonna hurt nobody, and trust me the artist will be doing dine without an extra what $3 they makin off they albums?

Anyway, don't want nobody to break ya stuff? Burn em a copy, its just as good.

If they're buggin' me, they ain't gettin' a damn thing from me!

In this case, he was just going to play the cd in the background in his mobile unit as he drove around, so it wouldn't even be moving to and from its case too many times, and certainly not with much frequency for the 24 hours he had it in his posession before he managed to BREAK it.

He must have grabbed either side of the disc and pulled even though the centre of the digipack you have to press the centre down for it to release the cd.

I didn't think I needed to give him training on this! Silly me..

Oh well, I think I found a copy with the original tracklist on the Canadian Amazon site. Let's hope they don't send me the revised edition.

I have learned the hard way about trusting people with my CD's. One time a let a family member borrow some my Cd's and they were returned with scratches and ruined. From that point on, I have learned my lessson, I have decided that I will be burning people copy of CD's instead letting them borrow my CD b/c they don't return back in good condition and they make me pissed off.

I don't feel good about burning a CD that they should really be buying themselves, but I guess if they don't care about Liner notes, etc then they don't plan on ever buying it. Leaving me with 2 options:

a) tellin' em to fuck off because they don't care about my recommendation enough to buy it themselves.

b) lending them a burnt copy as a small "insurance" investment on my part if I really want them to hear it, but they wouldn't know what to expect if they went to buy it (total risk management on all levels).

1st Rule of CD CLUB: NEVER EVER EVER; LEND OUT AN ORIGINAL CD

2nd Rule of CD CLUB: PAY CLOSER ATTENTION TO RULE #1!!!!






I say make him buy u a new one, pay you for your time lost without the cd, and then raise up on his punk-bitch ass and fuck 'em up!!!

btw, here's Cee in 1986:

Yknow, he's not a total bastard because
he phoned me at work (from his house, he's not on-shift) to tell me he broke it and told me how it happened, and that he would bring in my broken copy and buy me a new one, without any suggestion on my part.
So it wasn't like I had to harass him because I found out way after he returned it, etc.

CinisterCee said:

just do it!






for me!

I'll send my CD goons after him still..

CinisterCee said:

did he sit on it or something? its pretty hard to break a cd.not cause they're so strong but.... cause i mean wtf?! lol

Christopher said:

Yeah see it's one of those digipacks, where the CD sorta clicks onto the button to stay inside, so to take it out, you have to push the centre in, otherwise you grab the edges the disc and bend it. (I imagine he bent it until it snapped).

Although, since it was a digipack, he could have sat on it and had the same effect.

Either way, he wasn't treating it with the care I expect.

CinisterCee said:

awww sucks.


did you at least have a copy of the cd on cd-r or tape to get you by while you find a new one?

Christopher said:

Naww.
really learned a lesson 2nite.

I just know that when someone lends me a CD, it is returned in the same (if not better, somehow ) condition.

Damn...how do you break a CD? Ask him....then report to us here.

Well he said it didn't split in half (I still haven't seen it), but there is a crack from the centre to one edge.

Still doe.

You ever physically broke a CD in half?

Let's say:




It takes alot of force!

CinisterCee said:

If it's just a crack then it might still work well enough for you to make a copy on your PC, as long as it doesn't have bits falling off it or something. Worth a shot, as it could save you the cost of replacing it...

knowing how my cd-r rips audio, it would be a problem.

besides, i want the damn disc!

i ordered it on amazon already anyway... i just hope they dont send that damn revised version.

CinisterCee said:

I know how you feel, i always prefer having the original disc and not some burnt copy.
It's too bad that happened. me and my friend used to lend each other cds all the time, and nothing happned. A story like this makes me feel like never lending again.
I would definately never lend out anything rare that i got of ebay or amazon.
