CD jewel cases- where to buy in the US?

Sorry, there are no jewel cases available in the US.

But seriously, why not go do the closest dollar store and grab a bundle?

Well I didn't know they sold them there. I thought those stores sold only refrigerator magnets and air freshners for cars.

They carry all varieties of cases?

I've seen them there, yes. I've noticed the "classic" style jewel case and the new fangled slimline ones. Depends on the store, of course.

Just don't get the Jewel boxed set.

I have a story about Jewel you won't believe. Would you like to hear it?

k,

Ludwig,

Those infmaous rumours are not true -- both myself and Paris Hilton were not in New York on the dates mentioned.

Matthew

Matthew,

last week's Hello magazine clearly show the three of you stumbling into the elevator at, funnily enough, the Paris Hilton.

What were you doing, kitchen safety inspections? Yea right.

On second thought the story's lame, but I'll tell it anyway...

It was the summer of 1993 or so, and I was visiting my college roommate in Albany, New York. We checked out a concert of some unknown folkster, Jewel, in the local park. Needless to say, the show was dull but we liked Jewel's looks. At the end of the set (played to 100 people tossing frisbees, making out, and drinking beer) we approached the stage and began talking to Jewel. She packed her gear and joined us at the local beatnik Tex-Mex joint for a few cervezas and grub.

She was fun to look at, but dull as marbles for conversation. So instead of inviting her to join us bar-hopping, we actually ditched her!!!

Magic Moments, eh?

Are you two aware of the upcoming show "The Simple Life"? Apparently it features Paris Hilton and Lionel Ritchie's daughter living on a farm in Arkansas, where they're tasked with plucking chickens, manually inseminating cows, washing dishes, shoveling shit, folding laundry, etc.

That's a fantastic story Ludders! It could only be better if you'd failed to recognise her and ditched after she'd become famous.

FYI This is how Popbitch reported poor Paris's recent troubles (I think the URL is out of date now):

>> "Aarrgh! Paris Hilton bacteria!" <<
Shannen Doherty hates it dirty

Beverley Hills 90210 star Shannen Doherty is a
hygeine freak, carrying anti-bacterial soap with
her at all times so that she can wash herself if
someone touches her... because, she complains,
"you don't know where their hands have been."

Luckily Shannon won't have that problem with her
husband Rick Solomon. If she wants to know where
his hands (or other parts of his body) have been,
all she needs to do is check out the website
below. Presumably Rick is currently being
furiously scrubbed with industrial cleanser.

(FYI: Paris is a lifelong 90210 obsessive. Aged 12, she named her pet rats after 90210 characters)

Although personally I prefer this story from the same saource just becuase of the pecualiar juxtaposition of people and, erm, acts:

Sean Connery explores the back streets

F writes:
"A mate of mine and some footballers were out
on a golfing jolly, and sat in the clubhouse
having a celebrity shag conversation.

"Sean Connery walked in, so a couple of the lads
shout over to him 'Hey Sean, bet you've had a
celebrity shag or two.. what's your best ever?'.
Connery just grimaced and walked out.

"Later on, some of the lads were still sitting
around and Sean walks back in. He comes over to
the table and said,

"1964. Petula Clark. Up the arse"

Then he walked out.

Then you'd really like my Tanya Donnelly story.

Hey Ludwig,

Local record shops carry jewel cases. The Landing, in roosevelt, carries them, as well as Tower. Don't know about Easy Street. Haven't looked in Sonic Boom. I'm sure Landing would give you a good decent price if you were buying 50 of 'em.

Who is Tanya Donnelly?

Connon

Oh,that's who.

Famous is relative.

Yup, Tanya is of The Breeders, Throwing Muses, and Belly "fame" (to your point). I really liked those mid to late '90's chick bands. Altough I'm a spindly geek, I somehow met a few of them.

Tanya


PS- There are quite a few Seattle folks here. It would be very cool to get together for a few beers and/or some music listening.

PS- Thanks for the tips on the jewel cases. I'll check it out.

you are welcome.

here she is as a normal mom. nice eyes

You've completely ruined my experience, which was in 1995.

I hope you didn't diss Tanya, Ludders, as she is a Rock God even if most of it turned out to be Reflected Rock God Effect from first Kristen and then Kim. Whatever their subsequent sins you have to show some respect for someone who was a main part of early Throwing Muses.

Matthew

PS Tanya -- who I alwways thought had a very lovely mouth -- was the one you wanted a wild weekend in Tijuana with but Kristen was the one you fell in love with. Although to be fair I don't recall Tanya ever cancelling tours becuase she was pregnant again.

I simply turned down an opportunity "to hang" (with her, Belly, and friends). I don't remember why. But you're right- she was the fun, dirty one.

PS- Your mouth comment reminds me of an observation a redneck coworker from Texas once made about the CEO's executive assistant: "You don't get a round mouth eatin' square meals".

Hi Ludwig

Do you have a really cheapo store near you. In EK theres a shop which has everything for a £1.00 and they do a Standard 5 pack of jewel cases with inserts. Also a 10 pack of the thinner variety. Hope this helps.

Yours in Music

Syd

Ludwig,
Not sure if you are still looking for cases. I have a goodly pile of (30?)singles and some (20?) thin doubles that are new, but iffy quality, that I could let you have very cheap. I live a couple of miles north of the landing. I would also second a Seattle Naim get together of some sort, over some sort of drinks during xmas break?

Try bagsunlimited.com. not sure but they might have them.

Also most office supply stores might have them

ET, I appreciate the offer. I'm such an anal prick (that sounds oh so wrong) that iffy quality would make me lose sleep.

In a few weeks let's start a thread to try and gather Seattle Naim and music freaks. While we might have disagreements here, I'm sure we can share drinks and laughs together.

Ludwig,
sounds wonderful, cleanliness and the rest are not exactly me, so your collection could be a bit mismatched with my stuff. I will keep an eye out for a Seattle thread.
