I did a similar purge when I was 19 yrs old, leaving to go on "mission" for the Mormon church. I partly wanted to go on an epic (2 year) spiritual adventure and took to heart a scripture:<br /><br />1 Corinthians 13:11 <br />When I was a child, I spake as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child: but when I became a man, I put away childish things.<br /><br />So, couple arm fulls of vinyl into the trash. I was becoming a man, right? "Childish" things behind. (Eyes buldging towards your Mayfair album)<br /><br />Fast forward from my 1989 departure, the church sent me to the land of Satanic mills... a.k.a. Royal Tunbridge Wells, to today, 2015 where I'm still not sure what all of those records are. So be it. I measure a few are meaningful to me, or at least they buzz attractively after reading about them. Since I'm walking around Montreal, today, I'm hoping some metal heads have grown weary of Nothingface and shucked a pearl back into the small sea of records at Phonopolis, a nearby record store located next to Drawn and Quarterly, a comic publisher I've read about. <br /><br />Anyway, it's to late to pray(Tyrant). More life experiences have expanded what is "manly" which I perfer to say, "meaningful." Words by authoritarians should be challenged and wrestled and distilled into one's own wisdom, then acted upon, imo. If the desire to hold a physical LP in my hands, lyric sheet, artwork, credit info ( I don't have a record player) so be it. I'm still learning about my own psychology. I know I like the hunt, for one thing. Man, if I can find anything by Secrecy or Building Rome by Mercury Rising or Social Grace by Psychotic Waltz, whoa... those will all be meaningful. <br />knifetoothhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02626123032500629329noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-355108483588914160.post-25021150222414203752014-02-20T09:00:34.750-08:002014-02-20T09:00:34.750-08:00I was browsing through your old posts and came ove...I was browsing through your old posts and came over this again. This time, almost 3 years later I could spot over thirty albums. How times change, I even own a few of these myself now (although only from the ones I initially could guess, slow n' steady. I'll leave it to you to guess which ones!). I still don't know what all of these are though, even some the one's that are in plain sight! Maybe I'll check back in another 3 years to see if there has been any improvements!

To be honest, i've done a little bit of ''cleaning'' myself a year back and gave a friend of mine about 200 cds for free since they were of no apparent use to me. An interesting thing though is that there are some genres of music (especially indie/alternative stuff from the early '90s) that had records released on cd only format back in the day and it's a bit pretentious seeing them reissued on vinyl (just an observation). Keeping the cds has nostalgic value for me (even though this feeling is a bit made up since i was a little boy in the early '90s) because that's the format i associate them with. <br /><br />On the other hand i see myself regularly deleting my mp3s without thinking twice about it.WebInFronthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05655730140443925842noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-355108483588914160.post-20366807653386392872011-04-22T17:33:07.139-07:002011-04-22T17:33:07.139-07:00http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mJBZluOfFy0http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mJBZluOfFy0Helmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00584102280299430293noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-355108483588914160.post-72002651225761547132011-04-22T07:55:05.191-07:002011-04-22T07:55:05.191-07:00Jean Michel Jarre, Equinoxe.

I have also done this in the past, when I left my last childhood toys, along with a perfectly working AMIGA 500, to the garbage, because I was also moving, and I no longer needed them. <br /><br />However, I have to ask. Why did you decide to throw away the CDs, instead of selling them? <br /><br />As for Jag Panzer's "Dissident Alliance", I have your answer: Greek Metal Hammer.Normalized Freakhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03064603625162406138noreply@blogger.com
