so, the deal at the cd firesale today was 100 discs for $50, or 50 for $35 and decreasing levels of firesaleiness. i pulled out 81 to start, so i felt i had to pull it up to 100 to get the deal.

they had a large amount of jazz and classical from the cbc libraries. the cbc digitized everything and dumped it at the university, and they put it up for sale. fine with me. none of it is stuff i had on high priority, but it's all stuff i'd _eventually_ get, so might as well grab it when it's $0.50 a piece.

the one rarity i found was the first tea party demo, which was self-released on a limited edition. this is a real find.

for the rest of it, i'm not going to write it all out, i'm going to go by genre and disc number. it won't add up to exactly one hundred because some of the players and composers are on multiple discs.
