Who it is: Why Are There So Many Records In My Life?

It’s been a while since I’ve done one of these “Who it is” posts, where I talk a little about one of the links over there to the right. Considering my friend Ian just started a new blog that I think is the friggin’ bee’s knees, why not do one now? The site is called Why Are There So Many Records In My Life? What’s it about?

In Ian’s words:

“I was organizing my records today and I realized that I never really listen to them and I need to do that more. And then I fixed my stereo. And then I decided that I want to listen to every record in my collection alphabetically. There is no schedule, it will just be fore fun and then write about them. I also want to see how much money I have spent so I can pass out when I realize how much money I’ve wasted.”

Thus far, he’s done three records. And, really – props to any blogger who regularly posts photos with their laundry basket in the background. It looks to be an exciting project, as well as one that could be never-ending, considering Ian buys records as much as I do. That picture up there looks rather daunting, especially when you factor in the 200 singles he also has. I look forward to reading it, and based on the three entries, you’d do well to add this to your blogroll as soon as possible.
