"Our band could be your life.
Real names'd be proof"
My record collection is neither monumental nor tantalizing. Yeah, I have a couple of rarities, some real gems; but I also have complete trash, and things that I actively dislike, that I can't seem to get rid of.
I fetishize records. I feel sorry for them. I care deeply for them.
They have their own stories, journeys; they co-mingle with mine.
Records are totems for me.
I love listening to them.
I like to organize them.
I love hunting for them.
I like to look at them.
I appreciate them as objects.
I associate certain times of my life with certain records.
Oh, and I have opinions about many things, which I will try to temper with kindness and understanding.
