Thursday, March 5, 2009 Moving Forward Since starting this campaign I have received a wide variety of feedback from individuals. Everything from: "Mook, your doing it wrong." - to - "This is the greatest idea ever."
i really dont understand why you felt the need to type them all out in a spreadsheet
I am typing out every record in the collection, because I am keeping them and want to put them in order. This makes it easier to put them on shelves and keep track of the records. They were all mixed up in boxes, so typing them out in a spread sheet keeps the exact location (to get rid of doubles) and helps later with putting them in order. Right now I have the spread sheet according to crate, but can switch to alphabetical order, and sort the records onto the my shelves like this. I want to make sure I keep only 1 of each in the collection, that's it.
Is that really unusual to type out your collection? How do you guys keep track of your records? (serious question)
The only thing I am giving up to goodwill, is the doubles, which I posted here. My original post probably wasn't clear, but there are not 2000 more doubles, just 2000 more records I have to go through/type into the spreadsheet (in doing so, I will probably find doubles/triples of things I already have on a spreadsheet).
play them both and decide for yourself. sometimes they are the same, sometimes different. no records on your list were valuable, so i wouldnt worry about that aspect.
i alphabetize by genre. its not that hard to alphabitize without a computer...it still seems like an extra step. if i was given the wretched task of alphabetizing your particular records, i would make 20+ piles, one for each letter (x,y,z can go together, so can p & q), get high with friends, and just sort em out. then you can stick em on the shelf with dividers and at your leisure alphabetize each letter (much more manageable).if you kow your abcs, your doubles will all magically appear next to each other!
dont ask me why i typed that all out....but im kinda into the whole organizing aspect. spreadsheet still seems absolutely worthless, imo.
I wouldn't get too high though or else it takes for ever, especially if your mates keep stopping every 5 min to say 'hey whats this one sound like? any good? let me hear it?"
Now the big question is. Do you alphabetise by First name or Last name?

Try to get a million dollars for all of them. Making a video with Bono sunglasses where you cry a single tear at the end always helps.
Reynaldo already said he doesn't want them.

If alot of the doubles are promo copies, which one should I keep?
Later when I play the record, will the demo be the same quality?
Sorry about the stupid questions, I just want the version that plays better. Thanks.

dollar bin fodder can be dope, but should be treated accordingly.

The idea of going by first name is frightening to me - its like having no order, but instead its a bizzaro-world idea of what order is.
But now I see the list above is actually by first name.
RESPECT YOSELF!
