I’m sure I’m late to this game, but have you guys seen or heard about lala.com???

Basically, it’s like a cross between ebay and netflix, only for music CDs. How does it work?

Much like your netflix queue of movies, you create a list of CDs you have that you want to get rid of, and you make a list of CDs you want. They coordinate the trade for you for under $2 per CD. They tell you when someone wants one of your CDs, you fill-out the mailing address on the prepaid mailer envelop provided by lala, drop it in the mail, and meanwhile, you get something that’s on your list.

So I’m getting rid of CDs I never listen too, and now I have Van Halen I being delivered to me this week. SWEET. My first CD in the mail was Fair Warning. These are records I had on cassette (or even in some cases, 8-track), and never got around to getting the CD. So now I have an easy, affordable way to get this stuff without springing $10-$15 for an oldie but goodie.

I’ve been wanting to build up some classic rock CDs for my kids to listen to because they love this music and they instantly relate to it. Guitar Hero helps. Plus, it is just great/fun/real music which you almost never find on the radio today. Even my 11-year-olds know this. They are not buying all that crap on the radio today. For the most part, it’s a joke to them.

So more VH coming our way, plus Boston’s debut record, and maybe someone in the lala database is ready to give up there Supertramp Breakfast In America???
