It is 5 AM, Do you Know where Mikey Fremer is?

A friend gave me his collection about 800 albums and after 3 years am about half way through cleaning them, still pick up an occassional album, but with so much to clean it really has to be something I want

about half my collection is unopened. lots of multiples.

It's sad that listening to records becomes a chore. I guess I just don't buy enough to not have time to listen to them all. Usually a new LP won't sit for more than a week before I have a chance to play it.

Well Buco, Having spent my fair share of time with Mikey, I can tell you he listens a great deal. He pays for his own media, for the most part, and happens to live in an area that is ripe for having LPs at garage sales. Folks who retire to "sunny (anywhere)" listened to vinyl in their younger days. When the estate is liquidated, the LPs go in the garage sale stack. Witness all the LP selling members here, with Florida return addresses. When does the guy SLEEP is something I would like to know...

Cleaning vinyl is the bane of our existance. But you gotta do what you gotta do.
