I didn't catch that. Busy chewing.

I always come up with possible projects to do around the apartment for the break. I do accomplish a lot of organizing during that break. I also donate clothes, old glasses, old cell phones, sundry charitable donations.

We've been working on the garage, doing the same thing. I keep looking at it as another as-yet-unpopulated space that we could use to hang out, so the urgency to clean it has been increasing.

I don't think we have Savers in Oregon. (At least, I've never seen on.) And I'm not familiar with Deseret Industries, either. (Probably regional.)

We most have Goodwills, and a lot of indie stores... St. Vincent De Paul's, now and then.

a kinda famous collector here in Australia sold almost all his records. He said stuff like "I've listened to the Beatles, do I still need a copy of all their albums? Do I have time to listen to my whole collection" and he just....purged it. Gutsy.

Woah!

I have been cleaning up "The Archive," as I sometimes call it, but that has mostly to purge duplicates, some gifts, and thrift-scores that were not as great upon listening. But really, I've only gotten rid of 20 or so records...

But the collection is VERY well organized now!

"Fascination Street" by The Cure sounds better at 45 than 33.

A friend of mine used to insist that "Hey Jude" sounded better at 45 than 33, and would play it that way at parties. I was never convinced, personally, but I heard it that way a lot over the years.
Avatar 👻 Swag For Life Member 8:35pm

While I can't precisely recommend listening to them this way, The Pet Shop Boys at 16 Speed sort of sound like a doomy industrial band.

It's not bad, but as it happens, The Pet Shop Boys are pretty good on their own.

For those two, I say: no notes. They're doing just fine, as is.

But for a giggle, 16 Speed can offer some fun...
