Collecting

[James Gryphon]

I have a bunch of souvenirs from interesting moments or times in my life (particularly from youth trips) that I keep on the top of my dresser. It isn't very organized right now, but hopefully that will change after I clean out my room.

@ Lutra: I would totally depend on where you buy them. You could probably get them pretty cheap off of half.com or something.
I LOVE the Prince of Egypt soundtrack!!! That's one of those soundtracks that I desperately want, but haven't gotten yet. It really annoys me that it's not on iTunes. If it were I'd have at least 3 of the songs already (Deliver Us, The Plagues, and When You Believe). I also like Mary Poppins!
I haven't heard of Princess Mononoke, Spirited Away, or Raise the Titanic. Any specific tracks I should look up on YouTube or something?

@ DanielofRedwall: Yeah, that Owl City song just doesn't fit in with the rest of the music, does it? Drives me nuts every time I hear it.

@ icefire and other soundtrack collectors - I base my prices on amazon marketplace and what I've seen the cds go for on ebay; half.com usually doesn't have the selection of those two sites, and some of the scores I listed you aren't likely to find there. 

Some clips from the soundtracks I listed above for your listening pleasure:

"Princess Mononoke - Legend of Ashitaka" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zdctS6E97hA

"Princess Mononoke - The Journey to the West" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s03F_Y0yaXo

"Spirited Away - The Reprise" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4zDIMNc5Vc4

"Raise the Titanic - Prelude" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PVzm-dMBfVQ

Horray for all the soundtrack collectors! I guess you could say I collect soundtracks. If I like it, I'll buy it, so I have built up quite the collection. I also quite like video game soundtracks, especially any by Uematsu Nobuo. Another Japanese composer I like is Hisaishi Joe, those of you who have Ghibli soundtracks will know him.

The Prince of Egypt is good because it has music composed by Hans Zimmer AND Stephen Schwartz! How could you go wrong with that combination?

Another thing I collect is theatre programs. My collection is kinda small because I've never lived anywhere with easy access to large theatres, but I do have three versions of The Phantom of the Opera program (Melbourne, Sydney and Osaka) and two versions of the Wicked (Melbourne and Osaka) program, as well as Bell Shakespeare programs from the last couple of years and Cirque Du Soleil programs for Varekai, Dralion, Corteo and Kooza. Obviously, most of my collection is in Australia, so I can't list them all.

My thoughts exactly!!!

@ Lutra: Thanks for all the links! I don't have time to listen to them just yet, but I'll let you know what I think as soon as I do!

I collect Littlest Pet Shops (I sound so girly right now). That collection is perfect because I have enough to have a city and not too many that I forget their names (yes all of my pet shops have names).

Exactly the same as my sister.
