Today’s goal was to go to Best Buy and purchase R. Kelly’s Trapped in the Closet DVD. I know, I live quite the life. From what I remembered from the ad it was supposed to be $11.99, about what I am willing to pay. However at Best Buy there was no sign on it indicating it was on sale and the sticker said $17.99. I checked at the desk and he confirmed $17.99, I figured I must have been mistaken, 11 could have actually been 17. I was extra disappointed because on the back of the box it said there was commentary on the whole thing from R. Kelly. Really made me debate if the $6 price difference was worth it. But I decided against it.
I was so focused on R. Kelly I forgot about the massive amount of stuff that was released today which made Best Buy the most dangerous place I could have gone today. First off, the obvious one, Star Wars: Episode III. No debate about that one, pick it up. Over to the CDs. Blink 182′s Greatest Hits, which I mentioned yesterday. No desire for that. Right next to it was the Greatest Hits DVD, all 13 Blink music videos. I could not resist. Also on that CD display was Taking Back Sunday’s Tell All Your Friends re-release. It came out a few years ago but I never actually bought it. Plus, it had a bonus DVD with the music videos and some live acoustic videos. I know this is the kind of stuff that I said I never watch, but TBS is a special circumstance. So I picked that up as well. I decided that was enough to spend for the day.
On the ride home I popped the Taking Back Sunday CD in to the player. I probably haven’t listened to this CD the whole way through in about 3 years. It is absolutely amazing. One of the best written albums I have listened to. Listening to it I realized it was time to re-do my Top 5 albums. The videos on the DVD are also really good, there were 4 music videos from this album, only one of which I ever saw. I do think the DVD is screwed up though because the Live acoustic stuff and interview listed on the back are no where to be found. The Blink 182 DVD is also pretty impressive. Its just their videos, but 13 of them. Its no stretch to say over the past few years Blink has put out some of the best videos.
While I was writing this I found Trapped in the Closet for $10.79 on deepdiscountdvd.com (my favorite place since its cheap and free shipping). So it should be here next week.
