Today, I would like to discuss hoarding. You see, hoarding comes in all shapes and sizes. But, I don't need to tell you that. First, you have the kind of hoarder that you see on A&E that basically lives among all his/her isht in a depressing as all hell existence. So, my question is this - what is the difference between hoarding and collecting? I think the most obvious argument is that hoarding is a detriment to one's health, while my stack of mp3's won't topple over and kill me. Ah well.
If any of you are familiar with this blog, then you know Freshy over at eLarceny as well. And if you know Freshy, then you know he loves music - really loves music. So, much so that the chase may have equaled his love of actually listening. Hell, I think I am guilty of that as well. But, is our hoarding unhealthy? Well, you be the judge.
Fresh acknowledged today that he has 4 days of music he has never even listened to in iTunes. This is from 2004, but still...4 days. However, I am no better. I have a whole folder on my Drobo dedicated to music I have heard. But, I love knowing all that lovely music is there. Perhaps that is what the hoarders say about their garbage and living in their own filth. I should probably ask my next door neighbor, who seems to be a world-class hoarder...named Bliss. hmmmmmm.
On that note, let's listen to LCD Soundsystem and Skream, shall we? We shall.
