I know this kind of thinking is deadly in these circles but if anyone can seek out the film "Vinyl" from Alan Zweig of Toronto, Ontario, Canada (available at Roger's Video for you Canucks) it sheds a lot of light on the habits and obsessions of the music enthusiast. Basically it made me wonder why the fuck I was hanging onto all this stuff I never had time to listen for. Does anyone out there keep an album simply because it's a classic or obscure or coveted or whatnot? I don't really care that some will say fuck you but it's really interesting that this great music and work ends up being treated by people as objects to worship. I'm currently in the process of getting rid of a lot of stuff. Not like I have a lot compared to most, but I don't want this obsession to take over all my time. But do try to find the film.
