I get alot of comments about how its a waste of money and space but music is important to me. I don't just want a collection of digital music on Spotify or Mp3s on a hard drive. I want physical versions of the music I like with the artwork and liner notes and lyrics. People that don't have a strong passion for music will never understand that but it's fine. I don't understand the things others spend their money on.
Same. The people who don't 'get' why I drop $$$ on CD's every month are the same people who spend the same amount or more on booze, vaping, tattoos, lattes, and other nonsense.
My father loves fixing up old cars. He absolutely loves it. His passion. I don't understand it but that's his thing. Music is our thing, we can't get enough of it 😂. It's a way of life, there ain't 2 of us the same and that's ok. Have fun!
@@toms4442 I listen to music 🎶 in my car on cd 💿 and vinyl in my living room and I listen to my cassettes in my room and I watch my music dvds blu-rays and music vhs tapes of all my favorite bands usely on Sundays I enjoy my collection of music 🎶 I'm glad I have collected music 🎶 for years and years
I have CDs that I have not listened to, that I'm saving for Winter time when I can't be outside. I am increasing my finds for the collection so fast that I can't keep up with listening. I don't care what other people think. I do what I do for what makes me happy so long as I am not interfering with somebody's else's rights. My goals and dreams are mine to achieve and at 64 I still have many goals and dreams to achieve.
I love owning the music I love. Spotify can go "poof" tomorrow and you sure as heck can't resell your mp3 files with any degree of a viable return, if you ever need to. Further, I love having the artwork, the recorded format, and all that comes with it. It's not just throwing money down a vapid digital hole and having absolutely nothing to show for it. Keep up the great work, Brendon! :)
Record collecting is a passion! I use streaming platforms to discover new music and I'm really happy we are in a position to discover new music pretty easy. And in the case I like the band/artist I would go and by the CD/LP to have it in my collection.
I had a similar discussion with someone saying to me... "Why do you buy CDs? It's a waste of money when you can have Spotify." This particular person was a smoker (each to their own) and I demonstrated to them that they spend more money on cigarettes than I do on music... then I said "Now tell me who's wasting their money?" On a seperate note my new CDs aren't filed away until they've been listened to.... then on top of new stuff I delve into my collection all the time to listen to various stuff depending on my mood. At least music is a healthy obsession 😂
I've loved music ever since i can remember. I started with vinyl when i was a kid...then to cassettes and then to cds. Im envious of that music room Brendon 😊. I have a lot of cds ,approximately 9,000 or so but its from years of collecting. I wouldnt call it hoarding but a love of music. They may not be as organized as I would like but I know what I have and where it is. Like you said some people collect shoes etc so this is my pleasure so I do understand your passion for it. Who cares what other people think.
I totally dig where you guys are coming from. I've been collecting music since I am 12 years old. There are lots of things in life I enjoy, movies, art, photography etc., but I'm only truly passionate about music. And as you guys said, you're never done. I mean how can you be? Great video, gentlemen!
The other day my neighbor asked why I would ever have over 1,000 albums. I told him it's the joy of collecting and they also sound much better than just streaming music over your phone into a Bluetooth speaker. He reacted like I'd just said the most insane thing he'd ever heard.
I have buyed albums since i was 7 years old back in 1972 and never stopped. The thing is that i not jumped on that cd train late 80's that mostly everybody else did. I continiue buying cheap vinyl almost for free the whole 90's and still do. But now when everybody see vinyl again its begin to be expensive of course.
Just recently I bought a sealed Australian classic album on discogs that's been out of print for 35 years. I told my son in law who is also a fan about my lucky purchase. The first thing he said was are you going to open it? I couldn't believe my ears. I said, of course I'm going to open it and actually play it. That's what they're for!
I couldn't care less about what people are thinking about my love of music. I collect, I but a lot and I try to listen to everything. Sometimes it takes a while, but the intention is there.
We’re not “record collectors.” We won’t buy anything that we don’t think we’ll listen to more than once. Mostly buy vinyl, but buy CD’s too. In our vehicle, we love listening to satellite radio as well as some of our CD’s. Music is LIFE.🎧🙏🏻
funny thing is , I had many over the years ask me why I have so much room devoted to my lp's , many are my younger friends , they never heard a good record on a good system , they heard the songs on radio , in the back ground ......, I get them to sit down , to listen , and ALL of them are blown away at the sound , the clarity , many say they heard " new " things in a song they never heard before .., I just smile ,
When it comes to my vinyl and CD collection my passion is condition, condition, condition! I try to find the nicest cleanest copies of anything I want to add to my collection! I will not buy any records with ring ware on the cover, split seams, writing or someone's name written on the cover, any kind of stickers or price tags stuck on the cover! I will not settle for a bad copy of an album. I don't believe in place holders until a better copy comes along.
Regarding the question about buying new stuff, I've already bought 33 CD's that have been released in 2024, and have 6 more currently on order. I know that quantity is not a big deal for you, but it is for me, and it illustrates your point about always wanting to investigate, hear, and acquire great new music.
I get it and when I get something I always play it. Once in a while I'll have two copies and don't open one. I found the original Gun vinyl in a store unopened about ten years ago and the first thing I did was pull it open and listen to it but I did a disc recording off the pristine vinyl, I've never played the vinyl again though. I blame my collection (although it's only about half of yours) on my wife and Peter Banks. She thought I needed to have a hobby and knew my love of Yes so she decided I should should encourage me to collect that. Then I found out Peter Banks was still around and I really started by grabbing everything of his. It.s been a downhill slide ever since, I already had a lot of other stuff, but the Yes collection was like a gateway drug for me. I keep thinking I should find a way to thin it out but I can't give it up yet and the only reason I think that is because of my age and the fact I've almost died a couple of times in the last four years. Without the collection I would probably feel like dying was an option. 😄😄😄
I bought all 1, 2, 3 and 4 of those "Lover" CD's. 😊😄 I have about 10,000 items in my music collection. I'd say about 7,000 are CD's, 2,000 are LP's, and the rest are digital albums from iTunes or wherever. I used to get that "You could open a record store" comment when I had under 4,000 music items. 😁 I agree with a lot of what you said. Young people today wouldn't understand music collecting at all. It's all on their smartphones. They'll say, "I've already got everything, on my phone". But in reality, they own nothing. And what if their favorite artist got removed from their favored streaming service? Or their favorite artist got "cancelled" for whatever reason. If that were one of my artists, I'd still have it. But I must say, I rarely listen to my Bill Cosby comedy CD's anymore. 😊
@@davidtrahan3062 I have very few sealed LP's and CD's. Just a few autographed CD's and a few extra copies of RSD LP's, like the Taylor Swift "Folklore - The Long Pond Sessions" and the Bob Dylan "Blood On The Tracks" test pressing facsimile. And some rare 45 singles by Taylor Swift. And CD's I have in duplicates. Less than 20 total.
People tell me CDs or records are worthless/everything can be streamed, why buy physical format. I get called 'analog man' and asked why I don't just have music on my phone: "It's easier".
I'm into both physical and streaming. As I clean my incoming vinyl, I make wav files on blank cds. That way, I can upload to whatever, cloud, cellphone. My micro SD card in my phone, has a big portion of my record collection. Most albums have 3 or 4 great tracks, some only have 1, some all songs are great. I make my blank cds according to that standard. I started doing this way back in 1999, when I first hooked my turntable to my computer. I now have 600 mix cds from my vinyl. I don't view them as mutually exclusive. With a little extra work, they go together. Put my phone on random, and you're gonna know I'm a record collector lol
Love this discussion. Here is a question from one Record Collector to another: How do you curate your collection? To me it is an organic thing. stuff comes and sometimes some stuff goes.
I actually made a video on this topic about How To Grow A Music Collection where I get into the ways of what to look for and why I’m always able to find things that then relate to how it’s curated. See link if you’re interested ruclips.net/video/fmAG3dkiMlM/видео.htmlsi=9-SKA4I73X5bS7C-
I buy CDs online from local record stores antique shops & thrift stores Now the ones I get from thrift stores have to be near mint & most of the are very low price as sometimes I get something that's new to my ears & if I don't like it, I can take it into my local record store ZIAS 6 locations in Arizona & 2 in Vagas they have a web site that can tell me what they have in stock on CDs LPs & tapes & other stuff So I know if it's worth getting & trading it in for trade credit that I use for something I know I will like & keep. All my music has to be played before it hits the shelf Some get played more than others before that happens. thanks for another Great show.
I hear that all the time. When do you have the time to listen to all of it? I do have stuff in my collection I am not crazy about, but there is a reason I own it. It could be one or two songs that I like. It could be music that I once liked and no longer enjoy it. Or it could be one of those bands where I have their complete collection and that comes with some records that are less than stellar. But for me, for my favorite bands, even their bad albums are part of their story. And I may listen to them despite the fact that I don't like them. I could be giving them another chance. Or to just try and understand what happened or how this particular entry in their catalog doesn't work.
The problem is not listening to the "new" titles that I get. The problem is ever going back to listen to them again, since I'm listening to all the new music. I am currently in the process of trying to go through and listen to all of my 10,000 "old" CDs. I started at the back (Z titles) and am currently in the S section. This has taken a couple of years. At this rate it will take me another 10 years! Not enough time to listen to all my CDs more than once.
I like buying CDs because I like to physically own things. I own that CD forever. I do stream music but Spotify can close down tomorrow and then there goes all your music.
I blind buy if it’s something released by an artist or band I really like. Once in a while I’ve gotten burned doing that but I guess the completist in me needs to have it just to round out the collection. Dokken’s Shadow Life is a prime example of this for me. It came out circa 1997. I raced out to Angelo’s Records in Littleton, CO immediately after work, bought it sight on scene and popped it into my car stereo and was immediately disappointed. I still have it but I haven’t listened to it in a number of years.
I would love to find an original Morrissey. You are The Quarry. Just not for $300. Maybe one day. Like when I found Michael jackson, Blood on the Dance floor... I play it often. People are like, you paid $150... and you're not worried about wearing it out. I hope I do! But like yourselves, I will buy one to play and one that's a special keeper.
I'm in college so collecting a ton of vinyl isn't too viable for me, say new releases, so anything I buy is something I KNOW for a fact I will listen too and enjoy. I usually listen to my music on streaming sites and will only buy an album physically if I genuinely love an album. Absolutely love the feel of a physical vinyl, the whole deal, it makes listening a true experience not just some background noise. My friends say I'm crazy, but man, I love it and they're always so interested in it (genuinely) because they can't fathom how much I love music haha
The main problem with collecting is not having enough time to listen to what you already have because YOU'RE SPENDING ALL YOUR TIME BUYING AND COLLECTING. Especially if you're a working person with full time job. Even if I stopped buying cold turkey now I still wouldn't be able to listen to it all. Except maybe when I'm retired.
I used to have a wall of DVDs (this is before streaming was a thing)... people would always ask me 2 questions: Why do you have so many DVDs? (because I don't lend them out) Can I borrow one?
I have several that I haven't opened. Mostly because the records came out 30 or more years ago and I managed to get one that was still sealed. It would seem a crime to me that the record survived decades without being opened and then I desecrate it by breaking the seal. I can still play most of them because they can either be streamed or I have it on CD already. For me, it's the ultimate sign of respect to that album that I kept it pristine.
I just say , do you have a problem with people that collect baseball cards, sure they take up a little less room, n it is art , but you really need the cards mint to have full value, i have seen collectors devalue a perfect card cause it was from age of the gum stick in the pack, n the card had some sugar residue. Same with coin collecting, stamps etc. Its collectible art, and you can in the case of cds n records u listen to em too, n that's a big deal, its the one artform that package is worth something, but has a bonus of music
In record stores yes…most other establishments no. Places that are looser like record stores, tattoo parlors, comic shops, or any kind of fringe store, it goes with the type of clientele and territory. Plus Anthony is the store owner so he has prerogative. I’m sure his employees do not do it nearly as much.
Record collecting is one thing but what Brendan does is not normal, buying multiple CDs every day is a complete waste of money and some kind of illness or addiction. He must have a good job to support his habit.

Anthony seemed distracted.

I just say , do you have a problem with people that collect baseball cards, sure they take up a little less room, n it is art , but you really need the cards mint to have full value, i have seen collectors devalue a perfect card cause it was from age of the gum stick in the pack, n the card had some sugar residue. Same with coin collecting, stamps etc. Its collectible art, and you can in the case of cds n records u listen to em too, n that's a big deal, its the one artform that package is worth something, but has a bonus of music
Is swearing by owners/employees while customers are in the shop normal in America?
In record stores yes…most other establishments no. Places that are looser like record stores, tattoo parlors, comic shops, or any kind of fringe store, it goes with the type of clientele and territory. Plus Anthony is the store owner so he has prerogative. I’m sure his employees do not do it nearly as much.
Hi Brendon
Do you like the Band
Gotthard??
They are from Switzerland
If not try the album Lipservice
It's really good
I love Gotthard.. Steve Lee (RIP) is a great vocalist. Not a big fan of the new singer
Record collecting is one thing but what Brendan does is not normal, buying multiple CDs every day is a complete waste of money and some kind of illness or addiction. He must have a good job to support his habit.
My dad says that about my cds 💿 and why do you want scratchy vinyl lol 😆
I still have the original right said fred album. Im never opening it
