Classification of collection(s), various methods I've actually seen: 1. Random ( an I ching approach to a library ). This was on a 2-3000 piece colection of vinyl. I plundered it closely....no order at all that I could see. 2. By spine color ( this was a 10,000 + ) vinyl collection. 3. By predominant instrument(s) played ( a jazz collector friend...this kinda makes sense in a jazz collection. ) 4. A guy I knew arranged his records into piles: "new arrivals" and " to sell" As Poison Idea ( 80's American Hardcore Punk band ) penned, " Record collectors are pretentious assholes" np: Azad ( new Muslimgauze ). I am enough of a fan to always pick the new M-gauze stuff. I'm enough of a critic to get rid of 1/2 of it. This is a keeper. There's only 1,000 and each of the 1,000 CD covers is unique . Idm list friendly... Also : if you dig This Heat, Can, Fela Kuti, Miles ( 70's era ) Davis, Liquid Liquid, African, and dub....*do* check out the new double LP on Leaf, " Last Light" by Eardrum. Not idm, but groovy as fuck. pps: any digesters here having problems? --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: idm-unsubscribe@hyperreal.org For additional commands, e-mail: idm-help@hyperreal.org
