It is difficult to limit this to ten people! I will ponder this and come back (although John is #1 because I want to see how much his collection has changed since last I saw it).

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Monday, 28 March 2005 19:27 (twenty-one years ago)

Perhaps it's because people have preconceptions based `pon fervent proclmations you have made about your favorite artists (`tis an albatross I certainly wear), which is why I started this thread:

― Sven Bastard (blueski), Monday, 28 March 2005 21:00 (twenty-one years ago)

My favorite slsk experience was talking with a dude in Israel who's a New Orleans brass band freak. He loves the music but can't get any of the records except at great expense, and here I am the one guy online with every single record, a ton of bootlegs, etc. It was the kind of ego validation that you fantasize about.

― Jordan (Jordan), Monday, 28 March 2005 21:07 (twenty-one years ago)

Hey Dan, you'll have your chance when you visit our frozen tundra...I've crossed the 2000 mark on CD's. Because I am profoundly and deeply disturbed, I think.

The LP's are another sickness entirely.

― John Justen (johnjusten), Tuesday, 29 March 2005 01:18 (twenty-one years ago)

thankee, alex -- i think that there's considerable overlap in our collections, though. mine has little less killing joke and cop shoot cop, and little more jay-z and fiddy cent though!

Also:

Tim Finney

RS

and then it's all a blur

I think the reason Ned's collection isn't showing up in more of these lists is we're all afraid we'd die from heart attacks when confronted with the immensity of it all.

― Paul in Santa Cruz (Paul in Santa Cruz), Tuesday, 29 March 2005 01:37 (twenty-one years ago)

― Eisbär (llamasfur), Tuesday, 29 March 2005 01:39 (twenty-one years ago)

I don't know why there's a little box after RS's name in my list.

(Probably something to do with my typing "Rockist Scientist" out of habit and having to delete most of it.)

― Paul in Santa Cruz (Paul in Santa Cruz), Tuesday, 29 March 2005 01:42 (twenty-one years ago)

It's an option.

(The scary thing is I've been trying to reduce the Raggettstacks as such and it's like NOTHING changes. All I've done is get CDs off the floor!)

he thing i couldn't help noticing about alex's cds, besides the unexpectedly complete interpol collection and the nonchronological ordering of the iron maiden catalog, was the filing of klark kent as a "KE" item, and therefore before killing joke, rather than a "KL" item, which would come after killing joke, and which is where mine is filed (except for the minor detail that i don't actually have any killing joke records). where do the rest of you ILM librarians stand on this important issue?

Being that Klark Kent is the pseudonym of Stewart Copeland (and not a band), he gets filed via the last name, Kent. Franz Ferdinand, however, is a band (and not an individual), and thus they get filed in the "FR" section.

― Alex in NYC (vassifer), Thursday, 31 March 2005 16:05 (twenty-one years ago)

Oh, and the only reason I have all the Interpol albums is that I used to know Daniel Kessler when he worked at Route 66 records and then at JetSet (Firewater's old label), so I believe I got the early ep for free. I bought their debut album, and then someone gave me Antics for my birthday this past October. I liked them at first. Apart from "Evil" (which is a great song, despite incomprehensibly crap lyrics) I can't say I know or would ever consciously listen to Antics again.

― Alex in NYC (vassifer), Thursday, 31 March 2005 16:08 (twenty-one years ago)

where do the rest of you ILM librarians stand on this important issue?

I file Jethro Tull under "Jethro." I file "Homer and Jethro" under "Jethro" too...

― edd s hurt (ddduncan), Thursday, 31 March 2005 16:45 (twenty-one years ago)

I file Jethro Tull under "Flute-polluted Crap".

― Alex in NYC (vassifer), Thursday, 31 March 2005 16:55 (twenty-one years ago)

(though `Maiden did cover "Cross-Eyed Mary")

― Alex in NYC (vassifer), Thursday, 31 March 2005 16:55 (twenty-one years ago)

homer & jethro should be under H. You don't put simon & garfunkel under G. they are group names.

― scott seward (scott seward), Thursday, 31 March 2005 16:57 (twenty-one years ago)

C/D: Having the Maiden boxset surgically attached to your neck I say Classic all the way. Alex In NYC, you're hardcore!!!

I'm not a librarian, although I did misspend much of my youth inside the library, but I would just like to put my two cents in and say that, however you file it, "KE" and "KL" are both good combinations of letters.

i want rockist scientist to burn me a copy of everything he owns. super-curious to view the collections of bob snoom, george gosset and bob zemko. would really like to compare notes with mike taylor, alex in sf, fezaffe, jaxon, omar, jess and andy k.

― vahid (vahid), Friday, 8 July 2005 18:02 (twenty years ago)

I love the "Sub-Culture" remix! It's the album version I hate!

Also "My October Symphony" is one of the Behaviour songs I pine for since that CD was stolen.

― The Ghost of Dan Perry (Dan Perry), Friday, 8 July 2005 18:10 (twenty years ago)

(The only negative thing I can see in the archives that I've said about "My October Symphony" was aching regret that it inspired Axl Rose to write "November Rain".)

― The Ghost of Dan Perry (Dan Perry), Friday, 8 July 2005 18:14 (twenty years ago)
