It is 5 AM, Do you Know where Mikey Fremer is?

At a garage sale, so Mikey tells us on his latest DVD. He must be the ultimate vinyl junkie, always looking for more, more, more. Are you part of his competition?

It appears the long ago, Mikey moved from one who just listens, to one who just collects for the 'just must have' but no time to listen school. Sad.

Does that describe you? What part of your music collection has never been listen to, 20%, 50%, more?

I have about 500 LPs or 30% that are waiting to be cleaned. I decided to purchase no more until I get these under control.

Maybe 5%...mostly stuff I got for free, including a nearly complete collection of studio Grateful Dead stuff that I'm just getting into. I was pleasantly surprised when I finally got around to playing their debut LP. When I buy something, I typically clean it and listen to at least one side right away. I think about 500 or 600 LPs is the most manageable size for an LP collection. It should be easily possible to listen to this many, without becoming overly familiar with them.

A friend gave me his collection about 800 albums and after 3 years am about half way through cleaning them, still pick up an occassional album, but with so much to clean it really has to be something I want

It's sad that listening to records becomes a chore. I guess I just don't buy enough to not have time to listen to them all. Usually a new LP won't sit for more than a week before I have a chance to play it.
