Comment below if you want to talk about music, as I make sure to dig into music of the past.

Sick collection! How are they organized? Do you play all new arrivals before they’re filed into the rack?
They are organized alphabetically by first name, and in order of release, even down to the month if multiple releases came out in one year.
I always play new arrivals when I get them. When I bring stuff home, I go on discogs and catalog them in my collection, so i have a day-by-day note of what albums I got, and I play the albums to check condition.
Is your collection public? Would love to browse through it!
no problem, here’s the discogs account:

Man those weather report albums are bangers. You’ve got great taste and a very nice catalog.
Yeah, I’m close to getting every record from them. I’m just missing the Japan-only live album from 1972 and most of the 80s albums.
also thanks for liking the collection. anything else stick out to you?
I haven’t gone through it all yet, but one thing that I generally like is how eclectic your collection is.
My dad was constantly playing Beach Boys. I put on a song once in a while to remind me of him and his horrible singing voice. (Haha)
But I also remember being a kid and seeing Iron Maidens Eddie and thinking how bad ass he was. My uncle was a huge fan and would always spin their music.
Lots of punk… but also not afraid to branch out and appreciate great musicians. I’ve seen a few large collections, but they were kinda just in one lane as if all this other wonderful music didn’t exist.
Yeah, I don’t try to block myself into one singular focus of genre. I mainly go for punk and new wave stuff, but I also like 60s soul, doo wop, 20s-30s country and blues, jazz, Brazilian music and all other types of genres. I’ve been digging for 7 years now and the discoveries I’ve made would have never happened without record collecting (like how else would I learn about New Zealand indie rock without digging through discogs to find out about it?)
Amazing, thanks!
No problem.
