Loved this article in today's New York Times about the Japanese loving their CDs. (So do I, they were always so much nicer than other countries'!) I've had several newish friends stop by my apartment recently and give me this look of pure pity when they see my hundreds of compact discs in three different towers. "This reminds me of college," one younger friend said with a wistful nostalgia in his eyes. Another even offered to "help" me get rid of them, as if they were only there because I didn't have the strength to extricate myself of them. Call me Japanese, but I'm a collector and music is one of my favorite things to collect. What's more, it's nice to have backups of the music I have in my iTunes. As much as I know I should be backing everything up to an external hard drive, I often do not -- and with these dust collectors on hand, I don't really need to!

I have a number of CDs in my queue to purchase at the moment. I like the liner notes and usually pretty pictures of the artists~
A decent amount of my collection is adorned with hot guys because I bought a number of things on impulse when Tower Records was closing out their brick and mortar stores.
1000 cd's and 800 vinyl lp's and counting
they'll never get me!
