not really feeling the new cd cellar. lacks vibe.



but that did not stop me from picking up a few things.
i did feel like a small child sheepishly hoisting my selections up to the guy at the counter.
the great jack sheldon on trumpet on the curtis counce (ojc reissue, but still cool).
woody shaw deeply missed.
grant hart comes with a dvd doc (from $30 (?) to $3, can't lose)
not iggy's finest, but no such thing as boring iggy.

dude.. we have similar tastes for sure...oh i had that grant hart one in my hand but put it down....i also eyed the curtis counce.. such a great album cover...i guess i am holding out for the original but i've been holding out for over 10 years now...i almost bought that iggy cd for the extra tracks...

they have to change the layout or do something... i feel like i'm being observed from an observation tower or something while i'm in there...

I came up with the following a couple of years ago:

The Four Levels of Record Collecting

Level 1: The Backgrounder
Likes music enough to play it occasionally, usually at a low volume. Has a small collection (<100) of chart-toppers and compilations.

Level 2: The Fan
Plays music often, sometimes at moderate volume. Has a penchant for particular artists, especially ones that they have been a fan of for many years. Collects many of the releases of those artists plus other hits and deep catalog titles. Typical collection size of 100 to 500 releases.

Level 3: The Listener
Wide breadth of music interest and knowledge. Plays music often. Collects recordings of many genres and eras. To some degree, may be a completist collector of particular artists and/or labels. Collections are usually well organized  and contain over 500 releases. Many such collections number well into the thousands.

Level 4: The Hoarder
Extremely large collection sizes, often well over 10,000 items, many of which may be duplicates. Collections may be well organized but these collectors are sometimes overwhelmed by the shear number of items. Items may be stored in more than one room; some may be stored in off-site storage. In the most extreme cases, items may be stored in unusual places, such as in ovens. Items may be accumulated indiscriminately with the idea that they will eventually listen to them or that they may someday be valuable.


This is pretty much a draft with no actual publication intended, just sharing here. What would you change about it?

^ pretty spot-on.
i've a ways to go before i need to start being concerned, at least that's what i tell myself.

a deutsche grammophon mini-hoard that i'll get around to alphabetizing this weekend...
i've accumulated most of this in just the past few months for pretty much next to nothing.

This reminds me, I need to score a copy of Mesh and Lace or another 4AD Modern English LP, to get signed at their upcoming show...

If any of you crate diggers happen upon one, hook me up!

I demand an explanation for the unholy alliance of 2016 score, dyecraig!

Did Henry Rollins sell off his triplicates??

a nice lady that runs auctions out here has a barn in the back and lets me know when she has a stash.
believe me, i was losing my mind looking through this stuff.
some of the covers were pretty filthy, but the vinyl was clean.
she did not have a story about the records, but definitely someone from the u.k. or europe with amazing taste/luck.
basically just let me cherry pick it and gave her a benjamin for the time, effort and dirt.
wifey told me i'm done now.
