Crazy?

The New York Times has an article on a serious vinyl collection, should not be missed.

http://www.nytimes.com/2014/08/10/magazine/the-brazilian-bus-magnate-whos-buying-up-all-the-worlds-vinyl-records.html?action=click&pgtype=Homepage&version=Moth-Visible&module=inside-nyt-region®ion=inside-nyt-region&WT.nav=inside-nyt-region

Now we know who to call to collect our vinyl. The mystery buyer is unmasked.

Whatever floats your boat.

Somebody should tell this guy that they are pumping out new records by the thousands. The average person doesn't even know records are still made, so this story seems somewhat interesting to them.

Here is another very interesting story about the world's number one audiophile. We should keep these stories available in case anyone starts feeling a little guilty about our own minor obsessions.

Not crazy but seriously obsessed. It does beat having all these Lps end up in the dump. Now he has to set up a trust to maintain all this stuff after he's gone.
