Robert Crumb on Collecting « Observations of a Nearsighted Man

Applies to Ebeaners pretty well.

“Any of the younger guys who get into collecting are quirky and oddball types, pretty maladjusted people. They’re not into hanging around in bars and picking up chicks or nothing. If they have a girlfriend at all it’s amazing. And the older collectors I know, a lot of them just have their little room down in the basement where they go and listen. They don’t share it with anyone, and their wives don’t know anything about it. So when they die, the vultures start descending.”

This is creepy and sad.

Collecting 78's is lame.

Edison Gramophone cylinders are where it's at.

Is converting 78s to MP3s heresy?

Don’t know what you guys are talking about. Went to the bar the other day and picked up this chick. Took her back to my place and pulled out a copy of the Freestone “Bummer Bitch” 7″. She had her pants off within seconds and her mouth around my you know what in minutes! RECORD COLLECTING RULES.

I like the old man in the record one.
