Better, better, better. That's all you ever say about our respective collections, Erik. Remember your post from June 12, 2006 on Oregon in which you say:
"...One thing about Portlanders though. They always talk about how their city is so much better than Seattle. A quick message to you all: shut the fuck up. If your city was actually better than Seattle, you wouldn't talk about it so much. Do you think Seattleites talk about how much better they are than Portland? No. Why? Because they don't care about you. Plus, there is no way that Portland can make this kind of claim until they have major league baseball. Right now, they are a AAA city in many ways. So again--shut the fuck up Portlanders...."
You can take your AAA music collection and cry alone in your room my friend, because you're about to read a major-league random 10:
1. Cibo Mato--Blue Train
2. Antonio Carlos Jobim w/Astrid Gilberto--Agua de Beber
3. Tom Waits--Grapefruit Moon
4. Ivie Anderson--Troubled Waters
5. The Del McCoury Band--It's Just the Night
6. Bob Ostertag--Oxblood
7. Steve Earle--Somewhere Out There
8. John Coltrane--Cousin Mary
9. Jay Cloidt--Auto/Motive
10. The Velvet Underground--One of These Days
The difference between my earlier post and this is that I am condescending to you. I kind of feel sorry for you and Mr. Trend really.
ReplyDeleteNo need to feel sorry for me, Erik - I'm comfortable knowing that my music collection is better and more modern. Just the tired rumblings of a crazy old man...
ReplyDeleteSorry to step into a family dispute, but... 4000 LPs of rare jazz, rock, punk, African, latin, soul/r&b, and outre. 4000 gazillion hours of mp3s of the utmost quality. Several hundred cds, mostly disposable, as cds are.
ReplyDeleteWashington, DC, center of the universe of bloated, obnoxious power, sheer power.
In other words, suihhj....
