Records. Dream.

zotzI have at least eleven Cocteau Twins records.
So at least I didn't waste the Eighties completely.
Last night I had a very odd dream. Someone climbed onto a roof on Cockburn Street, possibly with the intent of lobbing herself off (it might have been![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
duranorak, sleepycinderell, or some sort of weird Duranorak/Sleepycinderella hybrid. You know what dreams are like).
Various other people went up to dissuade her, and she went over the crown of the roof where I couldn't see her, but had obviously slipped. While I was trying to work out whether she'd fallen off the roof on the far side, a chimney stack thatnisaba was leaning on toppled into the street, taking it with her.
In spite of falling four stories to the pavement in a shower of rubble, though, she just stood up and dusted herself off.
There was a runup to that, and some consequences, but I can't remember them any more.
I was up until silly o'clock last night sorting out records. All the vinyl's now ordered correctly by first letter. Ordering them correctly within each section shouldn't take too long, and I can do it gradually. It's been at least a couple of years since they've been that well sorted. I inevitably found a few oddities (Howard Jones? When did that happen?) and a couple of duplicates I was unaware of (although to be fair one of those was a Papa Brittle album with two entirely different sleeves).

Date: 2003-11-13 06:36 am (UTC)There comes a point when you need a filing system, or you just won't be able to find things. I wouldn't do it otherwise - I'm not naturally a tidy person.

Date: 2003-11-13 06:42 am (UTC)I agree with you about ~needing~ a filing system, but I now settling for a vague segregation by genre. So now I know vaguely where to find something, but I still have to do a bit of hunting.
In practice it doesn't matter, because I tend to listen to the same few things over and over again, anyway.

Date: 2003-11-13 07:52 am (UTC)We've been in the present house 3 years, and I finally acquired lots of book shelves, so I'm slowly trying to put them into some kind of coherent order.
My music is all in alphabetical order, with a separate cabinet for compilation CDs.

Date: 2003-11-13 07:15 am (UTC)My record collection seems to get talked up a lot by other people, but it's really not that impressive, not in sheer volume anyway. Certainly not compared to Graham's!

Date: 2003-11-13 06:39 am (UTC)This is like a goth version of The Tuxedo, isn't it? The Corset, which when worn gives you amazing dancing, seducing, and generally gothing-out powers ...

Date: 2003-11-13 07:53 am (UTC)It is solved though by having a record collection which only consists of The The's back catalogue.
It's alright for you. I've got Love Plus One stuck in my head.

Date: 2003-11-13 08:07 am (UTC)It's more pragmatic than purist. I only have one McCulloch solo record, so it goes in with the Bunnymen stuff.

You know, there used to be an Edinburgh punk band called Beergut 100. I bet you really wanted to know that.

Date: 2003-11-13 08:41 am (UTC)Beergut 100 = Mark Radcliffe idea also, perhaps they were graveyard shift listeners... or perhaps it's just an amusing joke that must occur to everyone in their lives at some point.
Howard Jones
Date: 2003-11-13 09:26 am (UTC)And as for the
gimpdancer, from the FAQ:"Where is Jed?
Jed is alive and well working in High Wycombe. He attended the Tribute Show for Thelma and John in 2002.Will Howard and Jed work together again.......maybe......!"
Re: Howard Jones
Date: 2003-11-13 10:20 am (UTC)This is the hybrid of the band that I spent 2 years working with between school and university. They work with hojo now.

Date: 2003-11-13 10:12 am (UTC)I file mine by genre. It's a completely impenetrable system to any newcomers to my collection but a) I know my way round it like the back of my hand and b) if I don't know exactly WHAT I want to listen to, but I know the TYPE of music I want to listen to, I can browse by section and usually find something I'm in the mood for. :)
