If you have a physical music collection, just go fishing through it once in a while. Have a big ol' rummage, get all your CDs, tapes, vinyl, whatever, out on the floor and just look through em. Bang a few on, read some liner notes, it's just magic, honestly.

7,000 CDs and counting. Can't do my radio shows without them.

I do it all the time. I love reading liner notes. Some can be quite surprising to find some other artist on their for a vocal or a guitar part.

This!

agreed. my collection is large enough to have 2 full walls of coverage, and very often I will just grab something off the shelf and peruse the artwork and liner notes, let alone listen to them, lolz, which I do daily.

I went digital only a few years ago, but you are right and I think iTunes, etc are missing a trick in having a virtual equivalent of exactly what you are talking about.

I had a more than 5k pieces of vinyl at one time. A tragedy occurred and they were all gone. I ended up selling my stereo and quit collecting - for 30+yrs. With encouragement from my brother, I got a new set up and have been buying vinyl like a mad man. TV consumption went to 0 and music went to 100

Absolutely

Just today, listened to these CDs: John Coltrane, Coltrane Shabaka and the Ancestors, We Are Sent Here by History Various artists (Hed Kandi), Beach House 04.03 Toumani Diabate’s Symmetric Orchestra, Boulevard De L’Independance Sadly, back to work tomorrow

It took me 60 years to get them in alphabetical order by artist in genre sections, so putting 1000 lps and 2000 cds on the floor won't happen unless we have a major earthquake. I do look at them, play them and re-read liner notes as often as I feel the need.

Not to mention the sheer joy of putting them back in alphabetical order after awards as well 🥰🥰🥰

haha, I reassembled mine by grouping bands together yesterday - no idea why I'd not done that before. looks nice having all a band's discography lined up!

Or you could put them back autobiographically. (From the movie High Fidelity)

You are describing a very important part of my youth. The first money I ever made was spent at the record store

My first summer holiday job wage went on a mini Phillips hi-fi with cd-player in 1988. Blew it all, no hesitation and no doubt about what it was being earned for 🤣

I know. And my cat has outgrown knocking down the CD player… still goes for the Sangean radio though

Hard agree. Not the part about turfing them all on the floor, right enough, but definitely on the rummaging through them and putting on stuff you haven't listened to for years. A joyful way to spend a few hours.

I've been trying to catalogue mine (when I remember and can be arsed), and have been using those times to listen to albums from whatever letter I'm cataloguing at the time. The constraints make me play stuff I might skim past if I had full scope.

We're gonna need a bigger floor.

It's always for me been 50% the physical object, the images, the text. I have to confess to being a sucker for something unusual, my first of yours being the Bloodsport tin, I also really like those CDs with the Polaroid photos on. It introduced me to lots of great music by you and others
