Strange New Dysfunctions for Strange New Times
May 12, 2004
This CD will self-destruct in twenty, thirty years. Yes, the Washington Post today reports on how techno-rot affects the supposedly indestructable CD. (And you thought music from your favorite era would last forever).

A much earlier piece from Canada's Chart Attack long ago informed me of the existence of CD fungus, discovered by a scientist from Madrid. I held the information from that article close, as there was something about it that inspired me to wage the quiet fight.
I have regularly mailed all those unlistenable, unwanted, unrecyclable, unsaleable, untradable promo CD's and a bunch of the ones I just don't like to a fictitious person, who appears to be traveling and receiving mail at General Delivery postal addresses in various cities along the coast of Belize. A harmless though often expensive practice I have dutifully, quietly, and anonymously continued since that early date.
