In an age when music collecting is torn between the vinyl revival (Hipsters mainly) and streaming services (which screw over most artists whose names don’t rhyme Dickweed Pest or WASP-y Thrift), I’m still a purchaser of CDs. Should CDs go away, I will probably find someway to support my faves.
Meanwhile, my collection has hit 4000 CDs (or sets, sometimes there’s multiple discs like The Wall by Pink Floyd as an example) if the FileMaker database I built in 1994 were accurate. I need to hurry up on getting the shelving figured out.
As for which title has the honor of being labelled #4000…
Depth of Field by Sarah Blasko
She’s an Australian singer I’ve followed for over a decade because she was featured on She Will Have Her Way, a collection of Finn Brothers’ songs sung be female vocalists. The selections covered Split Enz, Crowded House, Finn Brothers and the solo material Tim and Neil have done during their long careers.
I want close by thanking my friend Chip and his employer Waterloo Records for making the size of my collection possible.
