Today, I learned a valuable lesson, never leave your "Let It Be" album, which you paid $489 for on eBay out on your desk. My brother also learned something, old records make for very breakable, one use frisbees. FML
Collection
Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I came home from work to find my kids playing Frisbee with my collection of rare, valuable vinyl records. The term "smash hit record" took on a whole new meaning. FML
Today, my little brother watched an old video of The Who, who are know for smashing up their guitars and such. He decided it would be cool to try it with mine. That guitar was worth over $3000. FML
Today, I accidentally left some music playing on my iPad, then left to do some errands. When I came back, I found it smashed into a million pieces. Apparently, grandpa couldn't find any other way to "shut off that goddamn music." FML
Today, the framed memorabilia that I spent $195 on last week came crashing to the floor. It was on my wall for less than 2 hours. The picture is torn and the glass is shattered, but at least the frame is alright. FML
Today, it's my birthday and I received a signed vintage Beatles' album from my wife. Awesome right? It's the same album some jerk way over-bidded me for on eBay. That jerk was my wife, using my credit card. FML
Today, I asked my father if I could have my grandfather's old vinyls, record player, and vintage tube radio. He told me he threw those out years ago because, "Who listens to that crap anymore, now that we have mp3s?" FML
Today, my brother inherited a book from our grandmother that, in his ignorance, he donated to a charity shop because he’s “not a big reader”. I raced to buy it back, but someone had already bought it. The book in question: a mint condition, 1954 first edition Lord of the Rings, valued at £5000. FML
Today, I finally had enough to buy my dream guitar, made in 1965. I buckled it into the passenger seat because it unfortunately didn't come with the original case. Once home, I tripped over my own feet before reaching my front door and scratched it on the concrete. It wasn't in mint condition when I bought it, but now it looks like it had a bad relic job. FML
Today, I lent a pair of expensive headphones to a "friend" for the weekend. As a thank-you, he bought me a soda. He moved this weekend, taking the headphones with him. I lost a $250 pair of headphones for a $1 soda. FML
Today, two days after getting a fanny pack so I could more easily store my stuff when I'm out and about, I accidentally broke it without even trying. Don't be cheap. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

The Beatles are bad anyways, you should be thanking your brother for destroying it. Hopefully it will knock some sense into your head that you should not spend so much money on bad bands.

yeah, just some crap old band that millions loved. even if you only like shitty recycled chart music now doesn't mean you can't have respect for the beatles

Do you not know who the Beatles are? How many times did you have to be dropped on your head as a child to damage your brain or ears that badly? Go listen to a few songs, read up on your 1960's historical events, then come back here and tell me what you think. They were a phenomenon that has not been reproduced yet and probably never will be, and for good reason.

Well, I hope you're not trolling, because it's good to see someone else who doesn't like the Beatles. I must just hate all pop music because I can't stand them.

wow. not pop. by any means. i hope you know how ignorant your statement is. i hate pop with a passion. i can guarantee you that the beatles are not pop. i have a feeling that one listen through of abbey road or sgt. pepper's lonely hearts club band will quickly change how you feel about the beatles.

Sorry, but The Beatles were pop. They were just revolutionary. Pop music is really a softer version of rock n' roll, which is why it's so easy to listen to. The Beatles were cutting edge for their day, and ushered in a whole new wave of bands which is why they're so "revered" in culture. Like, Gene Simmons from Kiss and Joey Kramer from Aerosmith both watched the Ed Sullivan show when The Beatles first hit America and were totally blown away. The Beatles had it all down - the look, the catchy hooks of a song, the merchandising. They were pop, but they were revolutionary.

The Beatles are absolutely pop music. Not to be confused with the modern pseudo-genre of popular nonsense.

No, punk rock emerged in the 70's from the garage rock/DIY scene. The Beatles have absolutely no ties to garage rock or DIY. Punk rock is almost entirely defined by fast, loud percussion. It is not punk rock without the drummer playing as fast and loud as possible. Needless to say, this does not describe the Beatles. The only similarity between them is socially and politically inspired lyrics, and obviously you can't consider every artsit with a political stance punk rock.

Ever listen to Helter Skelter? Tell me that's pop.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gsVlmp8eQ7s Yep, definitely pop music. Anyway, that sucks for you dude. The Beatles are amazing and I suggest you kick your brother's ass.

I would have killed him. Even if it was a $5 copy of Let It Be, if anyone breaks my Beatles Albums then there'll be hell to pay.

It's not something you could have seen coming, so I don't really think this is your fault. It is in some respects for leaving it out, but it's more your brother's fault for not asking before borrowing something that is yours and using it as a frisbee. Older brother or younger brother, dude needs to learn some manners.

You're in luck, there's one on eBay, brand new, still shrinkwrapped, with a buy-it-now of $37. http://cgi.ebay.com/THE-BEATLES-LET-IT-BE-BRAND-NEW-LP-VINYL_W0QQitemZ200361094551QQcmdZViewItemQQptZMusic_on_Vinyl?hash=item2ea673ad97&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14 YDI for paying $500 for a $20 album.

Well, maybe it was autographed? You never know.

Damn. Let it Be was a great album. Kill him.

OP, you should force him to become an excellent musician (via torture and blackmail), and make him imitate the Beatles to re-create the album, note for note. When he fails (which he will), put him in a monkey costume and make him dance on the street to pay you back for the album, the music lessons, and the monkey suit.

The government continues to cut back on education because they don't know how to handle their own money for shit we don't need.
