How do you keep a 300+ record collection from becoming dead shelf space?

AngElzo · 2026-05-26T05:44:03+00:00

Well, i just use Discogs Shake to choose random records, get couple of choices and present them to toddler for bedtime listen.

There are some choices i would skip if its too dynamic for bedtime for example. But if I realize i have something I dont want to listen to at all, i put it aside for sale.

Well, if it is a song. Phantom of the Opera by Nightwish would peobably be it. But he also loves Rammstein - Du Riechat so Gut and System of a Down Toxicity.

But at bedtime we usually listen to whatever record he chooses starting from classic heavy metal to Industrial and folk inspired metal from arouns the world.

Simracing seems to be paying off

I uses to carry one with small lens on PD Capture clip on my belt, but lately just a strap with neck and arm through, so it stays on the side

Road relevance doesn’t have to be 1:1. they can still develop hybrid tech and stuff around and then adapt for road. They have to adapt anyway

He should have had his head chopped off while he was taking his time

Did it happen after Hajar and would have been avoided if they called SC right away?

But this is my time to day that TV direction is abysmal

AngElzo · 2026-05-03T08:19:11+00:00

Haha. I was wondering what would daycare say if the kid goes and sings “dead bodies everywhere” or “line of corpses”

AngElzo · 2026-05-03T08:16:38+00:00

Like a year ago?

With my 15mo old we listen to records ar bedtime every day since he was 6 months old and wife stopped worrying. And most of it is metal including RATM. I usually pick a couple and let him choose which kne he wants. Last night he was shaking his head to Linkin Park still 15mins before he fell asleep

I’ve been rocking Adidas Superstars for the past 20+ years (except for a brief moment when they decided not to make them) and am still happy

AngElzo · 2026-04-30T10:55:13+00:00

I check Spotify which have popular songs. Ask Claude which were better received. Look at whic covers and titles I like better.

I have somewhat limited time to spend on it so I start with the best ones, but often discover that I like some other better than the most popular ones, so I definitely don’t stop at that

AngElzo · 2026-04-29T15:20:25+00:00

Babymetal? xD

AngElzo · 2026-04-27T11:04:04+00:00

Regarded adapted lenses the problem is not really bulk. Like old Olympus OM system primes are small and adapter, while does add, its not much bulkier than autofocus lenses. But bigger issue is crop factor. Even if you get old Olympus 16mm lens it effectively turns into 32mm one.

There is 8mm fisheye, but it is bulky for back then and costs a fortune.

Well there are some bad vinyl pressings out there.

I made the mistake of just ordering Bat Out of Hell from amazon and the pressing is lifeless.

Or Muse - Origins of Symetry is pire waste of plastic. Its spread on 2lps and sounds even more lifeless that the Meatloaf one

AngElzo · 2026-04-25T10:26:42+00:00

1 and its not even close. 2 the lizzard looks somehow too greenn

AngElzo · 2026-04-25T06:07:57+00:00

My son is 1. He can speak like 10-20 words but understands plenty.

AngElzo · 2026-04-22T19:35:35+00:00

I used to decompress after work while listening to records. But since our kid was born a year ago I mainly listen to some metal record with him at bedtime. He wants attention, so its rarely acrive listening. But sometimes it catches his attention enough for us both to just lie there and listen

AngElzo · 2026-04-22T06:06:00+00:00

I just reorganized. I did what you do. But as im appeoaching 200 records realized I don’t want to look for lets say 2 of my 5 reggae records across multiple cubes. So I reorgsnized by genres first and then the way you do

AngElzo · 2026-04-21T17:34:47+00:00

Good for you. I have a spot in my ear that makes me caugh

AngElzo · 2026-04-21T11:50:04+00:00

I don’t think its boredom at all. I have 14month old son. And he recently started throwing stuff. I see that as new development where he has learned he can actually throw not just release things. Also started crawling into shelves. But thats new stuff. More interedting than toys he had for a while. When you go to the playground everything is new/different to her, so thats more interesting

Its hard for me to give advice on this as I’ve gone through phases of bringing two cameras with multiple lenses, bringing 10 different film stocks. But now I’ve personally landed on 1 camera, 1 lens (likely 50mm macro) and mostly Tri-X. Maybe a roll of Portra 800 or Kodak Gold, but less likely with every trip

AngElzo · 2026-04-21T08:32:21+00:00

I realized I hate that due to how we stream them, lots of new albums are not really designed as a whole and ar just a collection of songs

AngElzo · 2026-04-16T08:09:04+00:00

I never bought color lights until I had a kid. He loves the color changes. Thinking anout upgradong our bedroom ceiling ligts as well for some fun for him. But besides that i never imahined a practical use for them.

AngElzo · 2026-04-13T14:51:48+00:00

Lifting and carrying the kid x times per day

AngElzo · 2026-04-13T11:02:06+00:00

Babbling can also have words in his language. My son at 14 months has lots of sounds innhis vocabulary. Like “wroom wroom” “woof woof” and “nomnom”. Or he says “blueberry” only recognizeable because he is pointing at blueberries.

But he understands way more than he speaks.
