You have too many records when.....

[Amelie]

1,You can and do use them to fan the flames of a barby to get it going like.

2, You get dead alarmed that you found yet another copy of a record when you have been searching for three hours in piles of vinyl for summat else.

3, You return home to find a card form the Parcel Force dude, and you state 'ah, i'll go for it another time, its not one i even really want*' .


Feel free to add to the list. I could go on all frigging day.




* who buys something they don't even want?

I bought a small clutch style black bag the other day - got it home and put it in my wardrobe.........................yesterday digging through a large box stuffed full of handbags I find an identical clutch style bag.........now i have two the same and I cant find the receipts to take one back

still at least i liked it enough to buy it twice:|

You know you are addicted to vinyl when...

- You pop out to the one-stop for bread & milk & come back 6 hours later with bags of vinyl, including some w/l's that you haven't even listened to but 'were cheap & you never know could be your most wanted ID' - when in fact it's UK speed gaaa-raaaaaage..., some Klaus Wunderlich albums... oh & no bread. Or milk.

- Your opening line to any convo with a mate consists of "What tunes you got recently ? / Have you heard this beastie ??"

- You've spunked the last 1.50 in your pocket on some Oxfam usual suspects & have had to walk home

Are You A Trainspotter ?

Ten Ways To Spot One :-

1. Buying several copies of the same record. You know, to mix with, or to have the import copy, or just to have...

2. Managing to buy a record every time you go to the shops, even if you only wanted a pint of milk.

3. Cataloguing your records alphabetically.

4. Not cataloguing your records, but somehow finding them with your spotter,s sixth sense.

5. Getting a potent ecstatic rush when you finally track down that rare tune.

6. Not being able to listen to music whilst having sex, because you start thinking about the producer, remixer ect.

7. An unbearable urge to take over the decks at any party / chill out sesh / major nightclub.

8. Looking through your friends record collections whenever you visit. Which wont be very ofter, eh?

9. Conversations with your spotter mates that start off with the words: "heard any good tunes lately?"

10. Conversations with your mum that start off with the words: "heard any good tunes lately?"

You know u have far too many tunes when...

you buy that record you have been after for ages, but when it arrives you go to file it with the rest of the tunes & realise you already have it :$

3, You return home to find a card form the Parcel Force dude

Telling you he's fecked off with your missus

I think she's having a sly dig!

certainly sounds like it,maybe she needs new oven gloves

 

[lippiatte]

you know you have too many records when...


You sell 75% of them, because the thought of having to move them for the 9th time to your new residence just doesn't seem worth it.


...only to start re-purchasing records that you've sold once you get comfortable in your new place.

[siman91]

....when you move house and have to hire a luton van to move just your record collection, beleive me we bloody filled it too with records stacked 2 high on edge.

....when you buy a sealed version of a record you have been after for years and wont open it so still have to buy another copy...maybe that s just me being a sad b@stard.

....when you have to clean certain parts of your collection before using them as they are covered in dust from not being used for months.

....when your local post office dont ask for id and know your first name when handing over the little red card
