2021 Headliners

Am I the only one who has his records completely random. General Laziness, I also love going to look for one record and then get sidetracked by another which then leads down a session of records I was not expecting.

 

Was thinking of categorising them, maybe alpha but maybe genre. Each time I try, off I go on another random excursion and never get around to it

• A to Z

• Artists by surname

• Middle names ignored - David Lee Roth goes under R

• Ignore 'The' i.e. The Beatles are under B

• Multiple albums by one artist are chronological 

• Lana Del Rey under B for Bin.

Anything else is a travesty. Including:

How do you file your side eye dog photos?

It's their CV as Glastonbury headliners rules them out as Glastonbury headliners.

I'll always stand by Gorillaz and say they would deserve a second chance. I saw them on the Plastic Beach tour, and it was a bit "eh"... However, I saw them 4 times (I think) between Humanz and The Now Now, and every show was brilliant.

I'd understand people's hesitation about them headlining after last time, but I personally don't think they should be judged solely on that. However, if they played I would love it if they were on John Peel Sunday night... Though I'd imagine Other is most realistic.

This is how I try to organise but I’m terrible for a. Not putting records back in the correct place and b. Not incorporating new purchases in to the system so I’ve currently got a hellish mishmash of some records in the right places and others all over the shop.

Here's one for you;

My RSD copy of the Tron Legacy: Reconfigured album just arrived. It's the Daft Punk album, remixed by various artists. So does it go next to my copy of Homework or inbetween Underworld and The Walkmen?

Soundtracks go by name of the film.  Whether you have them in amongst the main bulk of your albums or in a separate sub-category of their own is up for debate.

I’ve also got two whole boxes stuffed full of records that need to be put into the system that I have had for a couple of years now and just not got round to doing.

This can be a problem. My vinyl is stored in boxes under the stairs, so I build up a collection of stuff by my player that I've dug out plus new additions until I snap and have to sort them in. 

Given each box holds about 25 albums, this can be a right pain in the arse as adding in new ones can fill the box, so the ones at the back have to move to the front of the next box and on it goes.

Last time...

Just checked, that was May. Don't think I can hold out until Christmas.

You definitely need to ask for a vinyl holder for Christmas. Maybe an excuse to buy some new furniture!

Not much chance of that. Was hard enough convincing the Mrs I needed new separates and they had to stay in the living room. She wanted some form of small spreaker.

I feel so embarrassed. 

I've finally gotten round to giving Kendrick a proper listen and.... Oh my god. It's incredible. 

I'm terrible for recognising the artist so was surprised when of the first 15 songs I knew, and loved, every single one.

 

Kenny convert. 

Welcome to the club 😍

This was me when he was announced for this year. And I have revisited him all day now Glasto 21 is on with him headlining due to the vaccine 😁

Very late to the record organisation chat, but this is how I did mine while I had them (currently they are waiting to be shipped to Aus).

  • Pop and rock, bandname/surname A to Z, then chronological
  • Pop and rock compilations / various artists, sorted by label then chronological
  • Classical, composer surname A to Z 
  • Jazz, bandname/surname A to Z then chronological
  • Funk, soul and motown, broken down into:
    • Motown, bandname/surname A to Z then chronological
    • Motown compilations by chronology (although I put all of the Motown chartbusters in sequence)
    • Funk and soul artists, by bandname/surname A to Z then chronological
    • Funk and soul compilations, by label then chronological (Northern soul compilations had their own mini-section within this)
  • Soundtrack by name of film
  • Other - a few records that didn't seem to fit anywhere, can't for the life of me remember what they were now but I think there was an easy listening compilation. 

I stopped buying so many when the vinyl revival kicked off and the second hand market went crazy, but I had enough to breakdown by genre. I could probably have eeked out a dance section, although admittedly it would almost entirely be 90s dance and where do you draw the line with some artists (Portishead, Prodigy). I swear I'm missing a category, but having not seen them for over a year I can't think of it. The order of the genres was entirely determined by where there the right amount of space on the shelves. 

I miss my records :(

    • So, what would the weather have been like at this year's festival?   It's been shambolic around here, the rain is soul destroying and showing no sign of letting up, bar odd sporadic days here and there. Disgraceful for June.   What's it like down there? Have we had a lucky escape?...
