It’s taken a long time but I finally found a solution to my storage/display problem for my CD collection. I have been searching for a storage solution for my collection since we moved into our house on Halloween 2006 and I have been met with dead ends. Back in our old apartment, we had high [...]

As many of you already know, I had some extremely bad luck losing a brand new CD close to two weeks ago. The CD in question? Night Sun – Mournin’ (1972) I won the CD for around $35 on Ebay on March 3rd. Around the same time, I went on a little shopping spree at the local [...]

Just when I thought I was finally back on track with listening to music and writing reviews, something always happens. This time it’s what I just received in today’s mail: Tank – The Filth Hounds Of Hades: Dogs Of War (1981-2002) box set – (2007) This is one big box set: all Tank’s albums (8) remastered in [...]

I have a lot of CDs but I have no idea how many I actually have. I probably own somewhere between 2500 and 3500 but not having an actual count, and inventory, bothers me. I’m a very anal person when it comes to my music collection, so much so that even my wife thinks I’m crazy! [...]

I couldn’t take it anymore so I decided that I would sit down and organize my CD collection. It took a few hours to take everything out of the banana boxes from the move in October but I got it done. Please check out the latest pictures of my collection at my Flickr! page. When I [...]

Here’s my collection in all it’s splendor! I think the Chiquita Banana boxes add a tropical accent to the display. Seriously, what your looking at is my CD collection still in boxes from our move to the new house this past Halloween. We are in room two of the master bedroom, this serves as the [...]

Storage issues

Posted: April 1, 2007 in My CD & DVD Collection

It’s been five months since we moved into our new house and my CD and DVD collection is still in boxes and Rubbermaid containers. I have access to my full collection but they just aren’t displayed properly. At our old apartment, the CDs were stored in these really nice unfinished wood cases by Bostonwood in Boston, [...]

I don’t drink, smoke, get high or gamble. Sounds like a boring life to some people. But everyone has a vice, everyone has that one thing that they absolutely have to do to maintain a happy life. My vice is collecting music. I’ve been a Rock/Metal fan since I got my first KISS cassette when [...]

Is it a cassette or a tape? Technically, it’s a cassette tape. With the invention of that thing called a CD, some people call them trash. One person’s trash is another’s treasure. I’m sitting here at my desk and I just noticed that my stereo has no cassette deck. We live in a small apartment [...]

Storage solutions

Posted: April 27, 2006 in My CD & DVD Collection

Storage is an important part of any collection. It is a combination of presentation, space, function, durability, flexibility, and price. I have spent the better part of the past year researching the best storage options for my growing CD collection. I’ve been putting off buying anything and the CDs I’ve been acquiring have been going [...]

Missing in action

Posted: April 20, 2006 in My CD & DVD Collection

I’ve been adding CDs from the pile to my CD cases and I noticed a few holes in my collection: Metallica – Ride The Lightning Motorhead – Ace Of Spades AC/DC – Fly On the Wall Dio – Intermission Mercyful Fate – Melissa I know, these are some good albums, what am I thinking? I [...]

Collecting CDs is my hobby. I enjoy it. I like the music, the album art, the thrill of the chase! Nothing is better than finding that rare CD for a few dollars, when it goes on Ebay for hundreds. Going back 10 years ago to 1995/1996, Rhode Island and southeastern Massachusetts had some great record [...]
