Ok, cataloging records

lou reed scott walker monks niagra (chinavision!), Thursday, 17 January 2013 04:31 (thirteen years ago)

Depends on how many times you've sorted the same batch of records imo

lou reed scott walker monks niagra (chinavision!), Thursday, 17 January 2013 04:33 (thirteen years ago)

sort em right, don't have to sort em 1000x
at least if you remember how you sorted em

this customer is a jerk (La Lechera), Thursday, 17 January 2013 04:36 (thirteen years ago)

sorting can be interesting, it's the re-shelving after listening that's boring
cataloging is boring eg putting them on discogs to sell
packaging records properly you've sold is the boringest of all

train rides

i almost went with this and then i thought about all the times riding the train is neither boring nor pleasant and didnt but i think the right answer is 'looking out at the countryside from a moving train' or something close, same thing with car windows really, thats a dull but enjoyable thing, time and distance passing

saltwater incursion (Dr Morbius), Thursday, 17 January 2013 15:42 (thirteen years ago)

Like a skein of loose silk blown against a wall,
She walks by the railing of a path in Kensington Gardens,
And she is dying piece-meal
To a sort of emotional anæmia.

And round about there is a rabble
Of the filthy, sturdy, unkillable infants of the very poor.
They shall inherit the earth.

In her is the end of breeding.
Her boredom is exquisite and excessive.
She would like some one to speak to her,
And is almost afraid that I
Will commit that indiscretion.

calling one of your favorite bands "boring" in a bid to distance yourself from said band's mindless uncultured fanboys and convince people on the internet that your interest in said band is a rare lapse in taste and/or a palate cleanser for the free jazz and harsh noise you spend 99% of your time listening to because you're an interesting person with interesting tastes and definitely not an indie folk librarian whose knowledge of Peter Brötzmann begins and ends with the title track of Machine Gun but who knows all the lyrics to every Sundays song by heart including their Static and Silence era b-sides and unreleased concert tracks like "Turkish" and "Something More"
