10 ways to check if you're a spotter... 1. You know all the Warp catalogue numbers off by heart 2. You find yourself chatting up a girl at a club and saying '...this record is using the Apache break. You know what the difference between the Apache and the Amen is don't you? Well, let me explain....' and then being surprised when you see her walking out with your best mate 5 minutes later. 3. You have the Skam frisbee 4. You were in the front row next to the speaker when Aphex Twin played the Sandpaper disc at Disobey. 5. You get a black eye after spilling your pint on the deck's at Metalheadz trying to sneak a look at that dub plate Grooverider's dropping. 6. You boast to your mates about being onstage in the Aphex Teddy Bear suit. 7. You wake up in a cold sweat after a nightmare about Skam re-issues. 8. The guy in the local record shop knows you by your first name and stops talking mid-sentence to other customers to serve you. 9. You agonise about indexing your singles by label or by artist. 10. Your name is Lance (sorry Lance!) I ain't gonna tell you how many of these tests I pass;) ____________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

Psykoscifipoppia comp LP (Gagarin) . Palminger/Kubin: sabàta 7" (Gagarin) . Black Faction: internal dissident pt 1 cdr (Imprint) . Black Faction: internal dissident pt 2 cdr (Imprint) . Sack & Blumm: s/t cd (Tom) . Adult: entertainment 12" (Ersatz Audio) . Gerhard Potuznik: the 20th door 12" (Interdimensional Transmissions) . The Mad Circus comp 12" (Throw) . Reznick & the Manuela Boys: playa non-stop 7" (Meeuw Muzak) . Goem: twaalf inch 12" (Audio.NL) . Neina: formed verse cd (Mille Plateaux) . Antitrade comp cd (Ash International) . Mouse on Mars: diskdusk cd (Our Choice) . Hecker: [OT] xackpy breakpoint cdr (OR) . Corners of the Mouth comp cd (Bubblecore) . Robert Babicz: MoMente cd (Mille Plateaux) . Nothingface: s/t cd (Harvest) . Dettinger: intershop cd (Kompakt) Had to buy my second copies of the last two because a close friend liked them so much he took my copies! : ) btw: i'm not bragging just trying to prove/disprove my trainspotting status... -->-Lance--- mclance@nacs.net lance@inaudible.com p.o. box 450715 westlake, ohio 44145 united states

...way too many records listed... Some people recognise that they have an addiction, and they get help. I hereby declare Lance the founding member and apostle of Trainspotter's Anonymous [TA]. Instead of the 12 step plan, it's the 12" plan. s'ok, I have a similar problem with design magazines/books and old decrepit Macintoshes from the early 90's +odd -- Todd Sines icq: 11117580 SCALE:form | image | sound http://www.scalestudio.com

Lance doesn't sound like a trainspotter to me, at least nowhere near the level of some of the others on this list. Am I expecting a flame war here?
