Surely a huge loss for the record company though. Heavily caveated but my favourite Jason Pierce album that isn't a Spacemen 3 album.

chrisp65 Posted December 28, 2021 Share Posted December 28, 2021 I’ve got the Bagpuss CD and that came in a hardback book format. Impossible to store with other CD’s, so it rarely gets played. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The king of absolutely brilliant albums that are awkward to store.... If I take out any other CD in that section, it rolls off the shelf 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sections at home: Hers, single act/artist titles, Classical, SACD, multi artist compilations, Soundtrack/Production/Library, Electronic/Sampled/Hip Hop, boxes, slip cases, singles and nearest the player is stuff I've picked up recently. It's worked really well tbf, but CD spines are generally easily identifiable. The same quantity in vinyl and I'd be alphabetising for sure.

Mark Albrighton Posted December 28, 2021 Author VT Supporter Share Posted December 28, 2021 I remember an article by Nick Hornby (which possibly was the prototype for “High Fidelity”) where he was saying he ordered his music by first name so Bob Dylan would be under “B”. If I remember rightly the reason he gave for this was to avoid things like Dave Matthews Band going under “M” or The Dave Clark Five going under “C”. I was going to say I’m not that particular, but looking at it now, it turns out I do have The Jimi Hendrix Experience under “J”. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PJ Harvey the band is under P, when it became just her, it's under H. Don't think I own any Alice Cooper but thats an A for me. I repulse girls and am still a virgin. 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, it all requires some thought, especially with the 'Solo Artist'/'The Solo Artist Band' dilemma. I've become more pragmatic over the years - it doesn't make sense to me to have the Mothers of Invention albums separate from 'Hot Rats' (which is solo FZ) so they all go under Z for Zappa.

I have this issue with Thee Oh Sees / OCS / Oh Sees - they all get filed under T primarily because they were Thee Oh Sees when I first got into them (I don't think of Thee as The which would obviously be ignored), however Damaged Bug go under D as do John Dwyer plus whoever albums (Dwyer always listed first) - they are all John Dwyer btw Ty Segal - only the acts that name Segal are in S, So Ty Segal and the Freedom band go under S with all the other Ty Segal albums but Fuzz for example are in F Moon Duo / Wooden Shjips / Rose City band are filed under band name and not Ripley Johnson Anyway Sections wise in Vinyl I have General / Jazz / Dub and Reggae / On-U Sound (which again causes issues because not everything is on the label - Lee Scratch Perry therefore is present in 2 sections) / Compilations / 12" singles / 7" singles / 10" Records CDs are General / Compilations All sections alphabeticised, though I really can't be arsed doin that with vinyl compilations by title, they are filed in a last one to get used goes at the end, so my popular ones all end up at the one end 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisp65 Posted December 29, 2021 Share Posted December 29, 2021 I was using the download code on some recently purchased obscure elitist stuff and it was so straightforward it made me realise what a bum ache some other companies manage to make of it. I tapped in the simple address, up came a screen that said ‘put your download schizz in this box’. I did that and it bounced me to my Bandcamp account and I downloaded it. Idiot proof. Fast. The only slight downside was in my state of unexpected joy, I mentioned the above to my missus. Who said ‘you have a Bandcamp account?’ 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh look its that band people claim to have never heard of in a totally depressing trailer for a series no-one ever watched 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it wasn’t the song you tried, then play Hoppípolla. One of those where you go “Ohhhhhh that song.” I wouldn’t exactly call it downbeat. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
