well - of course I'm not actually going to pay that much money for just those two tracks! but also - they're not just shortened versions...

I was listing the asking price for the promo which contains the mixes to put it in perspective for those who would normally just say "why don't you just buy the promo?"


and yea - I could make a lot of sandwiches with that money... as I kinda need to budget myself, as I'm currently in that grey area of "out of college but still don't have a real job" -> I'm taking some extra classes for if I decide to do med school, I will have pre-req's ready... and hey some added science courses also wouldn't look bad if I decide to go to grad school instead

...I had made a deal w/ my dad that I could "goof off" and just do music and art stuff for a year or so (unless something kicks off) as long as I take some classes that will be worth my while.

(edit)
and no - I've never forked over that much money for promo's... ever

I think the most "wacky" purchase was like ~$20 or so for a promo which had a unique mix of a track... but also - don't quote me on that... as it's crazy late, and I should be asleep (but can't fall asleep)

(edit 2)
and I should note - I even have returned stuff, because after the fact - I realized it was a bit silly to own the "special version / edition" like today... I had bought the Killers album as a 7" box set. I then was like "why exactly did I waste my money on this?" esp as I already had the album + majority of the bsides, plus two of the remix 12"'s -> then I realized it was just b/c they stamped the word "limited" on the box, and it was vinyl... it made me overlook the fact that (A) the album's not that great and (B) I don't really listen to their tracks anymore, save for a couple of the remixes
