Disposing of "music from when you were young"
Posted by: Disposable hero on 01 November 2012
This is partly inspired by the Remember when you were young thread, however a bit of a twist since it requires throwing away your old music. As I keep mentioning in other posts, I'm running my first ever Naim and in the process rediscovering past music albums that were otherwise shoeboxed over the last decade. To my own surprise and sorrow, there are some artists and music, that upon loading up and playing back their albums, I just felt not in any way involved at all. At the time of my youth these bands and their music were powerful and energising, now after 10 years it feels tedious, crude and a bit embarrassing to listen to and requires fast-forwarding or track skipping right to the end. There is even a Tesco bag on the floor for chucking these albums in to for their swifty dispatch off to Oxfam Music shops (prefer to go to charity than to try and sell). By the time I've gone through all CDs it will be something like one third is now unbearable, another one third is keepable but to remain shoeboxed, and the other third that was in the regular circulation case already. Is this just one of those things that comes with age?
Dh,
What CDs have gone in your Tesco bag so far ?
Stu.
Some dodgy 80's-90's rock/metal including W.A.S.P, Dinosaur Jr., Zodiac Mindwarp and the fittingly titled Ned's Atomic Dustbin. Did you want any of this
its gone to Oxfam now.
