I heart music

CDs - Fall 2006 - sm Here’s a relatively current picture of my front closet at home, with my custom/built-in cds shelves running floor to ceiling. Yes, I have a lot of cds, but note that this composite picture (roughly pasted together with The Gimp) doesn’t show the ~300 that I’ve pulled for sale/trade in. I’ve been shopping for cds since 1985, and I used to really enjoy hitting used stores all around the St. Louis Metro area. Once I moved to Austin my shopping focused a bit more thanks to Waterloo Records (sigh), but then the used powerhouse Cheapo hit town; they had so many used cds constantly coming in it was insane. Now I’m a regular at Euclid Records, browsing the racks and barking out special orders non-stop. While I haven’t seen the number of rawk shows that I used to, I still needmoresongs! Some call it a sickness, but I contend it’s just part of the therapy.

I knew there was another reason I liked you so much. I spend so much money on music it’s not even funny. My favorite place to kill time between classes was called Dave’s Music Mine, a FABULOUS used music shop. Too bad the university ran them out of town. There’s still one on the other side of the city, but it’s way less convenient.

Oh… and what do you have pulled for sale? Anything interesting?

Ah, the smell of old record stores, it takes me back. Yeah, music I’ve pulled isn’t unnecessarily bad, I think of them as more like clothes, they just don’t fit me like they used to. I’d say most of them are from about 10-15 years back, just since that’s when my purchasing condition was at it’s peak. I have put only a few up on lala.com page (http://www.lala.com/frontend/action/karma?userToken=21969@12236) otherwise shoot me an email and I can kind of list some of the highlights. I’m happy to send off whatever you think you’d like, as long as they’re going to a good home, and it sounds like you have a similar love for it as I do.
