Nobody Wants Your Shit is also another good book. 😂
Give Me CDs Or Give Me Death.

I think it will be also curious moment, when things that were scarcely available and never in circulation may be coming available due people tend to live in some pace. One can remember things like when CD came, people throwing out most of vinyl. Streaming popularized, people throwing away CD's. Vinyl becoming hip, people buying vinyl and ditching CDs and so on. But also the age. When I work in record store, I see certain ages appear in waves. People who bought certain titles, are at age of getting kids and suddenly they sell part of their collections. Many times it is the same stuff.
For example. you recognize guys years of involvement based on what type of Black Metal 7"s they bring, haha.. Things that may be tiny editions and globally rare, but the return to 2nd hand market in bulk at some moment. It may be also curious if the active generation changed in a way that all those bands that were sought after and valued, mean nothing to "new guys".


I never really had problem with the "spicy stuff", as I never kept it secret. Not only immediate family or friends, but my relatives (plus everybody else) have google, so they know what's up.

looking at my Discogs I have around 7400 records, 500 cassettes, and 100 cd's. I plan on selling everything in the next 10-15 years and putting the money into a retirement account that will gain interest.

in the long run I can't take this with me wherever I end up when I die, though I wish I could. I'll have my collection divvied up amongst my friends and the more prized pieces go to my partner.

I'm nearly 64. Retired. I'm lucky - I have a good Airforce pension.

A big part of my retirement enjoyment is...Noise!!! 😂 I've never bought/devoured so much.

Won't you miss this stuff in 10-15 years?

(Although I imagine 7400 records is Rock vice Noise, mostly? And to be clear, 7400 is an order of magnitude above me.)

 



Give Me CDs Or Give Me Death.

impulse manslaughter

I have roughly 4500 7"s. A big chunk is original pressings of killed by death type punk/hardcore. My oldest son loves this stuff so he can take these records when I'm death and enjoy them for some more years. He's 17 now and I gave him my doubles and represses over the years, since he was 9. Hoping my youngest son will get into noise/industrial/avantgarde so the rest can go to a good home as well. If not it will be sold off together with all the CDs (2500) and LPs (1000) I guess. My wife knows it's worth something.
