Sure they outright admitted that it was a sell-out so Gibby could buy as much heroin as possible, but Electriclarryland got some jams. I've never managed to make it through a single sitting of Weird Revolution, though (See also: King for a Day... Fool for a Lifetime). EDIT: New page! Today I'm cleaning my apartment (I'm in SF for The Residents next weekend, friends gotta come check on the cat and I don't want them knowing I live in filth) and spinning records.  Definitely my favorite album of the last 20, 25 years. DOUBLE EDIT: Rembrandt Pussyhorse is objectively the best Butthole Surfers record, though.

Definitely an album from a time when it was very easy to hit the Skip button

I haven't received my order yet but I got the tip from a store in Portland called AstronautSaint Records via reddit. They have a pretty decent selection online and offered free shipping at $75, so I picked up this, Yumi Zouma, and Jawbreaker. They seem like pretty cool people and if all goes well in shipping I'll be buying from them again. https://www.astronautsaintrecords.com/

Here is a weird kinda depressing doc about vinyl collecting. Haven't gone through it all yet. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nkCMSrvOTAo As someone who has a couple thousand records I see a little of myself in some of these people. For me it started as a cheap way to acquire music but it has obviously evolved into something else. I tell myself that I will play all these on my mixcloud show (or if I ever dj out again). But there is obviously something more to it than that. I relate to the hunt. I definitely relate to the getting rid of and regretting it (Thus my reluctance in getting rid of all my boomer rock. I liked it once? So I will probably want to revisit it at some point). Part of me really likes having these things that not many other people have. When a fellow collector comes up and asks what the gently caress you are playing kinda makes it all worth it. I dunno. I have never collected to the point where it was very detrimental to to my life. For a while we lived in a cramped apartment and that was the closest I got to dumping it all. I spend within my means and keep it mostly contained to one room. Still the thought of getting rid of all of it crosses my mind a lot. Sorry for the rambling. Anyways. Here is the record I am listening to right now.  Haha. Like why do I keep poo poo like this. Well. It has a couple songs I don't have on other albums and I probably wouldn't get poo poo selling it. So dumb poo poo like this stays in the collection.

It seems he cherry picked the horder-ish weirdos for this. A lot of flipping through piles thrift store dreck and not a lot of cool collections. It's a weird doc. Bonus Harvey Pekar being the most normal one in it haha.

I think we've touched on this subject in here before, but I think that the fact you were able to say "oh btw this is what I'm listening to right now" means you're doing okay. You're not just collecting for the sake of collecting, you're actively enjoying the stuff. Not to get all Seinfeld-y "not that there's anything wrong with that," but... I'm not trying to throw shade on collectors that just collect necessarily, it's just that the hoarding tends to crop up when you can't stop yourself from acquiring stuff even if you'll probably never use or look at it.

What if you have several hobbies that all involve or encourage gathering up a bunch of poo poo but it's never enough and you never stop because you just want to have any moment at all where you just feel something positive and the brief rush you get from that has less and less of a return every single time? Is that technically hoarding? CPL593H fucked around with this message at 04:54 on May 11, 2022 |

Well if you can still walk through your home you're probably fine? I think what saves me is that I purge whenever I move and I've moved a lot as an adult. The stretches in places are starting to get longer though, so might need to figure out another way to check myself.

My solution was to stop buying poo poo for collections I stopped caring about and start selling them, while being super picky about what I buy for the collections I still enjoy. Went all in on quality over quantity. Isn't a good chunk of hoarding being unable to get rid of things? As long as you curate a collection and periodically remove mistakes, duplicates, and disappointments one ought to be fine.

One issue (that I also suffer from) could be thinking that your poo poo is too valuable and needing to sell things instead of get rid of them, and then either you don’t get what you’re looking for or it’s just a pain to sell and you don’t do it. Then boom - horde

Yeah I dont collect a bands complete discography (besides like Talking Heads, which its the Talking Heads and that's just one band) and I'm constantly selling poo poo. I feel good about my collection now, maybe some stuff I may re-appraise and see if I'm still into it periodically and I've been thinking of getting on this flipping my colored discs for just basic black versions of albums. Like that Run The Jewels 2 4 disc set with the instrumentals is cool, but I kinda just want a basic copy of it with just the album. I never spin the instrumentals and I only bought it because it was legit the last one available anywhere at their show. It was the one that was taped down to the table so people have something to point at when they want to buy it when I saw them back then.

You know what's fun, Naked's (Nothing But) Flowers is a different edit. The intro is cut down to but the instrumental bridge is edited quite differently. The biggest difference is that you get a bunch more organ.

I'm getting to the point where I need to start cutting down my collection a bit, but I feel bad cutting out some of the stuff I'm most likely to drop because it feels like I'd be stripping out a bunch of the diversity in genre and style, basically proving that yeah, I'm actually pretty boring

Though I wasn't sure if there was a collectable market in Legos, like maybe they spent a small fraction of that on it but the value rose. Either way, I'd be happy to be their Marie Kondo influence for a piece of that pie.

I buy everything at thrift stores and garage sales so while everything I have is worth more than I paid for it, I have no desire to grade and sell records that are imperfect condition online. I'm going to have a garage sale in a few weeks and throw together a couple bins of stuff that I never listen to and try to get $2/per. And then anything leftover just sell in one lot on Facebook or something. I'm only keeping one out of three Garth sets...

The fact that there is a definite date set for the garage sale I'm doing has been a great motivator.
