The Rasmus was mine, although in reverse. I liked their earlier stuff and have Japanese releases of their debut album and then various special editions and different regional releases. Now I have to buy any old shite they put out to keep the collection complete.

Still got my CD collection going and growing, just put up a couple of IKEA Gnedby CD towers to keep them organised.

Picking up on your wider theme…

YES! Kitchen gadgets: 4 air fryers (all promising something that sounds novel or useful), 4 pizza ovens (ditto), 2 vacuum sealers (ditto), 11 (I’ve just counted them) potato peelers (the first one I bought, the cheapest, is of course the best at actually peeling potatoes)… and on and on and on.

‘It’s a hobby’, I say.
‘It’s f***ing weird’, says my partner.
She’s right, of course.

Hello, Diogenes :thumbsup:

Because my ex wife would tell me she would buy whatever (bog roll) and would then buy something else (a vase) with hilarious consequences....
And because she would also leave empty packs of food in the fridge, making it look like there was loads of stuff to eat....
I have spent the last 40 years overbuying.
I still have a cupboard with essentials which I keep topped up:
Tootpaste, deodorant, shampoo, ketchup, dish soap, etc., and an overflow fridge in the shed with milk . . . . .

I managed to overdo it before I got organized, and one time found I had 9 cans of deodorant and 30 bars of soap.

This is entirely an autistic over reaction to running out of bogroll, and a futile search for food in a fridge packed with empty packaging and no food, back in the 1980s.

I am hyperventilating just thinking about it :down:

I've got over 50 Robert Pollard lps. Guided By Voices, solo, various side projects.
Throw in a couple of dozen singles and that's well over £1,000... And I've never been remotely wealthy.

That's less than half of his output.

Ideally I would have more. There's been 3 LPs in the last 12 months that I haven't got ... yet.


But it is far too many.

Are you saying that he's been running on empty?

Thanks. I've a few of his albums and have been tempted by used copies of others going cheap on the web. If I add more, I'll be careful not to start with the later stuff.

I bought an import copy of ROE prior to its release in the UK. It's possibly the most disappointing album I've ever bought, being a banal follow up to the virtually life changing 'The Pretender', an album that IMHO was only eclipsed by 'Late for the sky'.

First 2 albums - phenomenal.
Albums 3 and 4 - Good
Everything since then (when Carlos D their original bassist left) - boring and bland.

I've bought every album (seen them live about 7-8 times) but I'm not convinced I've given the latest album a spin even once. Pure loyalty.

I finally used the last of my covid bog roll stash about six months ago.

One at a time......

I have to buy my own separate supplies of things like plasters and ibuprofen - because the domestic manager will keep moving them, or putting them in a different drawer. It's actually quicker for me to nip down the shop with bog roll wrapped around my finger than it is to try and third-guess where she might have put the plasters this week....

So, we eventually end up with too much of it.

My fault....obviously.

I bet you can add bottle openers to that.

I have every Genesis related album not just the bands but every single member solo effort even Tony Banks, all on vinyl each addition from first pressing to colour vinyl, remasters as well as all 45s 7” and 12” singles. I am too old to give a sh!t what other people’s opinion are of the band, wether it’s all rubbish after Peter Left or Steve left, or it too artsy before ABACAB. I love this band in all its forms.

The first album I bought for my own money was Invisible Touch on cassette tape in Woolies, London Road, when I was 15. I knew nothing about the band and it took me years to realise Peter Gabriel of sledge hammer was the original singer. I bought the VHS of the Invisible Touch tour and played until It went alI wobbly, and I had found my band. I used to go in to Wax Factor and buy the back catalog and books. I used to get teased by my friends because I liked a “grandad band” while they listened to bros and curiosity killed the cat. Ironically I was the musical “misfit“ at the time.
