I see some nice box on top of one shelve: Magnolia Electric Co, an unknown (to me one) and David Thomas, and many CDs also of Pere Ubu elsewhere. Are they particularly important for you?

Greg Kelley – “I tend to like things that are in between the cracks and haven’t yet been codified”
I love the totally different shelves/boxes/furniture where the records are stored. It’s funny, they even look like if they’re from different houses.

It just happened with the Cassette Hoarders United, a Facebook group devoted to this hissing media. Here are some of…
