<< Yeah, I think a trainspotter is someone who knows a ridiculous amount of
detail about a particular thing/event, and that someone like Lance, who
keeps an organized database of information, but doesn't necessarily have
fetishistic levels of information. Lance is like a librarian, not a
fanatical trainspotter who is into information for information's sake. >>
Lance is definitely the archivist. Or maybe just a computer program.
You can plug in a release, artist, track listing, anything, and get lots of
info.
And might I say, I'm really glad he does it. Big ups to Lance.
So we are saying there's a difference between obsessive music lover and
trainspotter? That seems right.
