OK since that's out of the way I'm going to get into the two CD's I picked up at the used record store I said I was going to in one of the recent blogs I wrote. This store was pretty cool, they actually had a section for industrial music which I never saw at the other used record store that I go to. They also had a quite a few good artists that I haven't seen that that other record store too like Ego Likeness (I was surprised to see one of their CD's there). Sadly I'm trying to save my money so I can have some gas money before I get my college refund for the fall semester so I can drive to school so I only bought two CD's.
Yes, the first CD I got was Crackle by Bauhaus. Bauhaus was a post punk, gothic rock band that formed in 1978 and had 5 studio albums (each came out a year after the other with the exception of the last one which came out in 2008). Sadly they are not together anymore. Anyway, I usually don't buy band's greatest hits CD's but this was a special occasion because I think that Bauhaus is just an OK band but they do some really great songs and pretty much all their songs I like are on the CD so it worked out well. One thing I think is cool is that the purple bauhaus symbol on the CD is shiny... I don't know why I think that's cool but it is lol.
This is the other CD I got; Of Faith, Power, and Glory by VNV Nation. VNV Nation is a synthpop, futurepop, EBM, and industrial band that started back in 1990 (I can't believe that's more than 20 years from now) and are still around today! I think that this CD is good going towards OK, it has some really great songs but it also has some songs that aren't so good.
Here are some songs from these CD's that I really like (only three songs per CD)

Reminder for blog # 16: Sometimes it is better to get the greatest hits CD of a band than to get all of their CD's.
