I Hate Greatest Hits Albums

  One of the things I despise the most is greatest hits albums. They are pointless and are a huge waste of money. I get the fact that they are made to make a quick buck for the record labels and might contain one or two new songs on them. On the other hand they seem to clog up the racks at the record store.
  Most fans despise greatest hits albums because they don't want to spend more money just for two new songs. I have to agree on that 100%. Greatest hits albums are a disease. Everytime I go into Kmart and look at the $5 CD's they have 99.999 % of them are some form of compilation album such as Greatest hits albums or Extended versions. Listen up record labels, nobody wants to buy extended versions or greatest hits albums!
  Greatest Hits albums make no sense at all. For example, Nine Inch Nails was supposed to put out a contractually obligated greatest hits album for their former record label, Universal Music Group, or UMG for short. The album was supposed to have two new songs on it. Here's how Trent Reznor outsmarted UMG, he started out making the two new songs for the greatest hits album and turned them into a brand new Nine Inch Nails album, Hesitation Marks. So Trent Reznor basically gave UMG a middle finger when it came to the Greatest Hits album. It would be weird to hear songs like Head Like a Hole, Down In It, Closer, Starfuckers Inc, Only, March of the Pigs, The Perfect Drug all on one CD when they are meant to be heard on their original albums.
  Also Best buy has tons of Greatest Hits albums that are being shelfwarmers. Move over Rey Mysterio and John Cena there's a new king of the shelfwarmers in town.

What To Do With An Old Bridesmaid Dress

  One thing that really grinds my gears is that people spend a ton of money on dresses for a wedding. 99.9% of the time they are only worn once and then they are forever banished to an eternal hell in a closet. I am a man writing my opinion about what you can do with an old bridesmaid dress. Men don't like to spend money on clothes they are going to wear once so this is why I am writing this post.
  So what can you exactly do with an old bridesmaid dress? Well here is a list I came up with to help you decide what to do with that eyesore in the closet.
  1. Donate it to charity

  16. Curtains
