Moderately extreme...
I spent some time today working through all of the music on the hard drive of my Yamaha CDR. Just a tidying exercise really, as almost none of it is indispensable.. I have it on vinyl or something. But as I'm planning to do a lot of recording I decided to tidy up.
I've deleted a lot, as almost all of it was recorded from analogue for the purposes of making CDs for the car, or whatever. Worryingly though... I found quite a bit of music I didn't recognise immediately and one considerable chunk which I would never have purchased in a million years.. Where did that come from?...And WTF was it?
Anyway.. this got me thinking further....
I've got albums I've played once.
I've got about 50 from the D'Agostini Jazz series still sealed.
I was wondering what an old Isley Bros album was doing in my 'currently up for playing' pile.. when I noticed it was a 180gram re-press and still sealed. Where did that come from? I assume I bought it somwhere.. probably a show.. but where?
There's little doubt my memory isn't what it was. Ageing and a couple of 'brain accidents', have seen to that.. but is it worse than I thought? I'm not the only old git on here.. how are others faring?
There was a time when I could tell you every album or single I have.. where purchased etc.
I've also got mountains of second hand vinyl, mostly classical, which rarely gets an outing.
Thing is... I have this inherent 'thing' with music. As a kid, I struggled to acquire either records, or the means to play them. These days, music is almost free, but I'm reluctant to get rid of any..
Is it just me?
