“This shelf is a right state in the best possible way. You aren't just a casual listener; you're a completist who gets obsessed with specific eras and oddball runs. Most blokes have a few Beatles records and call it a day, but you've gone and built a fortress around the 2010s and 2020s, which account for nearly half of your thousand-record collection. The Various Artist run is what really kills me. Seventy-nine records spanning from 1985 to 2026 — from Ring Parade to comps that haven't even gone cold yet. That shows a real love for the scene as it happens, not just the big names on the marquee. You're tracking the movement of music through the labels, which is why you've got 480 different imprints represented here. Then there's the Mansun and Gorillaz stash. Twenty-two Mansun records tells me you probably spent a lot of time in the late 90s chasing B-sides and EP tracks, which fits the same pattern as your Everything Everything obsession. You don't just want the hits; you want the session scraps and the stuff most people ignore. It's a collection built on curiosity and a bit of a manic streak. Keep it up.”
