<description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;a class="image right outside" href="http://www.thecure.com/discography/detail.aspx?pid=982"&gt;&lt;img class="upload" title="Greatest Hits" src="http://cache.interscope.com/images/local/100/baa713b8-c7c4-48a3-863f-5113048f6753.jpg" alt="Greatest Hits" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; Recently I heard some &lt;a class="url http outside" href="http://www.thecure.com/"&gt;The Cure&lt;/a&gt; tracks &lt;a class="url http outside" href="http://fuerdich.ch/"&gt;in a nearby bar&lt;/a&gt;, that were slightly different from how I remembered them. The waiter wasn&amp;#x2019;t too helpful, misunderstanding my question twice until I was confused myself. Back at the table I used &lt;a class="url http outside" href="http://www.shazam.com/"&gt;Shazam&lt;/a&gt; to identify the tracks. This worked much better. &lt;img class="smiley" src="http://www.emacswiki.org/pics/smile.png" alt=":)" /&gt; It turns out that these were acoustic versions of the songs I knew, and they were on the album &lt;em style="text-decoration: underline; font-style: normal;"&gt;The Greatest Hits&lt;/em&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Great, I thought! I looked at &lt;a class="url http outside" href="http://cede.ch/"&gt;my favorite local online CD shop&lt;/a&gt; and saw that the album cost over CHF 40.– (with the dollar and the Swiss franc being about 1:1), whereas it cost USD 17 on iTunes. I bought it on iTunes!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;But when I started listening, I realized that I wanted the &lt;a class="url http outside" href="http://www.thecure.com/discography/detail.aspx?pid=982"&gt;limited edition with bonus disc&lt;/a&gt;. Damn you! Now I am unhappy and wasted USD 17. &lt;img class="smiley" src="http://www.emacswiki.org/pics/sad.png" alt=":(" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Tags: &lt;a class="outside tag" title="Tag" rel="tag" href="http://alexschroeder.ch/wiki?action=tag;id=Music"&gt;Music&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a class="feed tag" title="Feed for this tag" rel="feed" href="http://alexschroeder.ch/wiki/feed/full/Music"&gt;&lt;img src="http://alexschroeder.ch/pics/rss.png" alt="RSS" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a class="outside tag" title="Tag" rel="tag" href="http://alexschroeder.ch/wiki?action=tag;id=Cure"&gt;Cure&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a class="feed tag" title="Feed for this tag" rel="feed" href="http://alexschroeder.ch/wiki/feed/full/Cure"&gt;&lt;img src="http://alexschroeder.ch/pics/rss.png" alt="RSS" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>
