Yes, when presented with the task of moving: Amazed Impressed Confident Optimistic Determined Overwhelmed Uncertain Disbelieving Exhausted Relieved
If a record store employee tracks you down at home because no one at the store saw you this week and they got worried.
........Spend more time hemming & hawing over which LP is the "Perfect" LP to listen to at that very moment (that has long since past because you're still hemming & hawing )
...you are to overwhelmed by making a choice and end up listening to your favorite go-to record for the one millionth time.
Haha, that's what a hobby's for. I went through that phase years ago. But, I ended up with all the vinyl records I need, and even thinned out the herd a few years ago (no one needs Chicago X). I was lucky to get into vinyl collecting before the hipsters drove the prices sky high. And, you're right about women. If I ever met a woman who was into collecting records the way I was, I would be torn between thinking she was a rare awesome creature, and kind of a weirdo.
Thankfully I get to work from home on Fridays....so there for the new releases being delivered and usually able to hide them. And before someone asks, no I didn't purposly change my work practices to accommodate this...just one of the benefits...means I get to listen to them straight away as well!!!
Your house is is need of dire repairs and furniture is falling apart and they only thing keeping it from collapsing is stacks of records.
A black widow has moved into a stack of records but you don't want to spray it with raid because you are afraid it might damage the records.
I have certainly had to slow it down, but mostly due to the $$ plus space minus time equation. My point was they can't find a way to keep the damn things from coming out!
Did not mean to send. I am at this point now. So far have moved 8000 CDs and have two more large cabinets to pack. Such a range of emotion.
Your dreams are allot like the last scene in "Citizen Kane", where Orson Welles is dying and repeating "Rosebud", but in your dream you are repeating "Butcher Cover".
On my current round of collecting vinyl I have made It a point not to get records just for the sake of having them. I only buy things that have some kind of meaning to me. This is helping.
… when you started listing your collecation on Discogs 2 years ago, and still aren’t finished. Another sign is when you actually have to create new entries in Discogs to get your items listed.
"You know you have too many records when..." It's a trick question! The answer to "how many records do you have?" is ALWAYS "not enough." Always.
When you buy a record (used or new) and than find you already have it. You forgot you had it already.
when you buy 2.5mm thickness outer sleeves, instead of 3mm, because you're worried about the space it will take..
When you're running out of room in your 3 bedroom house + full basement, but the thought of moving everything to a bigger house sounds far too exhausting - and you won't stop buying new records.
