I feel this! I have moved so many times in my life. I have given away so many "collections" of things. Music used to be obsessively dear to me. Now, I have sort of just let it slide. Not because I am depressed, but because other things in life have slid into more importance. I suppose also because owning music takes up space, time and money that can be redirected elsewhere or gets lost in the mix. But nowadays making a digital collection can be a shady mistress too, because it seems like owning anything nowadays is a ridiculously tough task. It's a lot of renting. Or being locked into certain "environments." Or having to give assholes like Amazon money, cause fuck Amazon!

But I thought about it the other day, when I was gallivanting around one of the last mom and pop thrift stores in the US (hot damn so many have closed down ;_;!). I saw a whole lotta records, and my little brain bin lit up like a pinball machine. But I realized if I were to grab a slew of these little plastic discs, somehow grabbed some kind of jank box of a record player and sat around with these guys for a minute listening to them - that I'd probably have to just give them away next big move I've got. It's just not worth the effort anymore. Too bad listening to music on youtube has been stinking for a while now too. My latest trick is type in x-mix or x-instrumental and just letting it go. And looking for the least jank generic channel that doesn't look like it's funding some asshole in some country who's politics I don't particularly love. It's an uphill battle, but dungeoncore has been keep me a float lately. I pray I've got something else that can do it in the future =P!

THAT IS TO SAY IF ANYONE WANTS TO TOSS SOME RECOMMENDATIONS THIS WAY I WILL GLADLY TAKE A LISTEN!
