Mp3 DJing is Gay. So is CDJing. So is vynil DJing. I just plug a mic into the mixer and hum that hot shit for a whole set. Bitches show their titties. I'm a HumDJ.

Collecting is for losers, I just bring records to my house.
yes! nice point about the analog analogy. pun intended. and yes, when you are deep into collecting it's not really collecting anymore. i am not trying to build up a collection...i'm just constantly on a hunt. for music. but from analog sources.
it's nitpicky, but i really don't feel like i collect records (things), but that i buy music i really like/love...there just happens to be a lot of it.
I went through a "fuck records , MP3s, please" phase. Sold off maybe 2000 / 5000 records. The Expedit had gaps and I started to panic. There is no feeling like coming home to a room full of records. The smell is so sweet, my daughter loves to look at the covers and watch the record spin, and non-record collector visitors think I'm cool. Plus they sound better.
Digging for MP3s does not create the same rush and excitement that digging for records does. Plus there are memories attached to the physical vinyl that MP3s cannot touch. They are souless and cold and honestly do not sound that great at home or in the club.

There were always LOADS of records around when I was growing up, from my uncles' KISS and Iron Maiden with the amazing/scary sleeves, another uncle's wall of R&B and country-rock, my dad's shaped picture discs of 80s pop shit... all this left a major imprint on my little brain...
can't say i have ever seen an oscilloscope and a microwave that close to each other before. interesting.
i feel what most of y'all are saying. i agree with most of it as well. except the djing with mp3s being gay part. i broke my back 6-7 years ago, and the fact that i can roll to a gig with a backpack with my hard drive in it fucking rules. not too mention i am always prepared for any party. and i don't have to spend money on club hits that last a month and nobody wants to hear anymore. but most shit i play i would like to find on record if i don't already have it.
man, all this talk makes me want to go buy a record of some shit i have never heard before...
and fr*nk, probably got a gig for you coming up this summer, not sure when yet, but we want you to play with us. and that studio party is the 18th, so mark your calendar if you are still down. probably be a 6 to 9, after work type event.

you know it. hopefully I won't sell all my records by then.
I have a 5x5 Expedit that is 90% full and 5 boxes of 45's, but I haven't bought a single piece of vinyl in the last 6 months. I don't DJ anymore and the time in my life when I could be out "digging" and all that crap has passed. I'm busy playing with my kids, working on my house and doing square shit like that. I still love music just as much, but spending all day in dusty shops is a bad time investment for me nowadays. Limewire and Soulseek are a godsend to me as far as new music goes, and if I find the vinyl one day, great. But I can't lose sleep over stuff like that anymore.
I tend to think that some (Many?) of the collectros that go out and buy 50 records every weekend end up not loving the music they buy much anyway, they never get the chance to really listen to it and live with and have it become part of them. If you have that much music to sort through all the time how much time do you spend really listening, as opposed to needle dropping and filing stuff away if it doesn't hit you immediately? The "quality not quantity" maxim applies to the amount you listen the same way it applies to the size of your collection IMO.

i definitely agree with all you say but i think this applies exponentially more to people who strictly download because you get so much so quickly and it's free so it's basically worthless and you just constantly amass music but don't have nearly enough time in your lifetime to listen to it.

get on MY motherfucking level!!!!!
I sit on my couch and, after the tubes warm up, the ghost of Hank Mobley stops in. That other stuff hurts my ears.
SG
one nice thing about records is that they aren't digitally compressed mp3's.
Real life is analog so I stick to analog sources.

REALITY:
No wonder why kids these days are addicted to jacking off.
that couch as a chair is so sad

YAY!!!!!!
[Ray Luv ]
One mo' time for the streets of Killa Cali
Grew up on the dank and shootin dice up in the alley
Back when niggas had names like Rock Tee, Chin and Butta
O.G. game from the muthafuckin gutter
I guess it was cool when a nigga had no riches
Cuz niggas didn't p.h. and run they mouths like bitches
Much love for the hood, what up, nigga, where's my homies?
Show love for these niggas, but they ain't got no love for me
Jealous as fuck when I got love from the Crest niggas
But all I get is mean mugs from you West niggas
Now that I think these muthafuckas is so funny
'll peel a nigga's cap for a trick-ass nobody
(You better check your heart and your brain, man
I think you niggas need to get up on some game, man)
Picked up on your ho, I'm gettin jocked by your steady
All I want the money though, I'm all about my fetti
Nigga
Money money money's all I know
I gots no time to waste with you trickin punk-hoes
Money money money's all I see
You need to get some game and quit fuckin with me
Moneeey
(I'm all about my fetti)
Money
[ Mac Mall ]
Now half of these niggas is falsified
The rest is full of mess, so they tend to hide
A lotta them is cowards who be actin hard
Some is tired-ass tricks who will never get far
Some is straight dopefiends tryina grind they lley
But they still pushin pebbles to this muthafuckin day
Some start funk over hoes and blame it on somethin else
Them niggas need to check theyself
But the sucker that I hate the most
Is the busta full of envy, mad cuz he broke
Every night he be stressin, thinkin that his hoe wanna get me
I wouldn't fuck her with yo dick, she ain't got nothin to give me
Cuz your nigga is broke, so hoe, I know you're starvin
So you won't have to worry about Mac Mall harmin
Your boyfriend and girlfriend relationship
I got my money and my cuddies, who needs a bitch?
Mac Mall will never get played
I'ma stay Ses ways
And you know I'm all about that money
That's all I know, nigga
Fuck them hoes and them niggas
That's all I see in the Triple C
Stop fuckin with me
I'm all about my fetti
I'm all about my fetti
Yeah, my nigga Young Lay
Come serve these fools
[ Young Lay ]
Gettin blimped with a tramp up on ? confusin what's right
To hide the doubt, so I grab my money and my lle', high
Why do these youngsters by so nervous,
niggas creepin thru these turfs
Plus these po-po's tryin to serve us ill
But I kick back and just act with my fuckin clan
And kick that gangsta rap and spit about my gangsta macks
On rap tracks and spit for those that copy free
And givin they dap and tellin me it ain't a day without drink and weed
G's get stacked, now who's a mack, yeah, the nigga shook ya
Ki's of crack get cut down, but but not by the cook up
But yo, they crookers, watchin me all the time
But I keep lookin and keep a nine by my spine
Or to my side, cuz when I ride you'll never know
But if it's over some dough, Young Lay is quick to let it go
And let him know, nigga, that this is loc side
Home of the mack, playa pros, squares run and hide
Cuz tonight we gonna do it just like this
But if your hoe is choosin, nigga, the mic's in my fist
Some of this mixed with a whole lotta that
Old fuelin with new, it made my fetti fat
Money money money's all I know
I gots no time to waste with you trickin punk-hoes
Money money money's all I see
You need to get some game and quit fuckin with me
Moneeey
(I'm all about my fetti)
Money
Ah yeah
Youknowmsayin?
There it is right there
And there you have it, muthafuckas
Straight muthafuckin game
From three pimpin-ass young playin-ass muthafuckas
Ray Luv
Mac Mall
And Young pimpin-ass Lay
Youknowmsayin?
They just touched it on that 6th bar of them 32 muthafuckin bars
You muthafuckin busta-ass niggas with complexes
Broke punk-ass muthafuckas that always got your muthafuckin nose
Into somebody else shit
Now what you need to be doin
Is gettin your own muthafuckin game tight
You understand me?
And eh - youknowmsayin
Put some fetti in your own muthafuckin pockets
'stead of runnin round here talkin bout what the fuck is we doin
Youknowmsayin?
Cjz we straight dwellin on the green
Ain't got no time for that in-between
Youknowmsayin?
So all you busta-ass niggas
Fuck y'all, we all about the fetti, man
Stack them shekels mayne...
I think unless you are eating your records, there is probably not a "hunting" instict involved in your collecting.
