Just something I've been thinking about.
A) What percentage of your CD's or music collection will you NOT
listen to again in the next 5 years but you hold onto them?
B) What percentage will you NEVER listen to again but you hold onto
them?
C) What does that mean to you if anything?
I'm not trying to be cheeky but I get in this mini-dilema of the joy
of new discoveries (or getting as much as I can of an artist I love)
vs feeling like a piggy, compulsive, hoarder. I have about 1,000
discs which seems like a ton to most people who don't share this
same passion. I know on this list that's probably a low number.
I guess it's the age old question of passion verses obsession and
the point of it all(for me). Again, I know some people are
more "collectors" and this might not even be something they relate
to at all.
Fer instance, on the other side of this. I have a friend that is
very into music but he's always been very clear about it, to the
point it's almost annoying. :) He'll like someone and get a few
things and say "that's all I need". I'll say but John have you heard
this one by him...He'll say, "no thanks but if I'm in the mood for
him, I have 3 discs by him already. I don't need any more".
Me:
A) 30 %
B) 2-3 % (assuming I live awhile):I
C) above and in process.
