I've got a smidgeon of room in my garage if anyone wants to store their records there
Did anyone else see the news item yesterday about Digital Detox holidays? Similar thinking.Everyone tear down your own little wall
That keeps you from being a part of it all
Because you've got to be one with the one and all
You've just got to be close to it all

It's all a bit of a tinfoil hat, I'm guessing the writer's over 50 & can't work his iphone that his kids made him buy.
It's one thing to have a collection of library records & quite another to have a giant pile of your own turds wrapped in newspapers, the reality of the true hoarder

Although the article is clearly exaggerating for effect the minimalist approach to interiors does sadden me
I like there to be things, ornaments, books, magazines - evidence of human existence. Instead people (like Mrs E) seem to want their houses to resemble sterile Homes and Gardens photo shoots
I blame Kanye West - for no other reason than no one seems to like him at the moment"Record collecting is no mere hobby, no innocuous leisurely diversion. It is a feverish passion bordering on dementia, driving those under the influence to irrational, compulsive, fanatical extremes."

I have a feeling it was T E Lawrence who said, when asked by someone if he's read all the books which lined his room said "No; and those are not all the books I've read ""You don't want to kill the cash donkey"

As for his other book, The Psychic Soviet, which looks like a copy of Mao's little red book except in bright pink...or indeed his various musical endevours.....fascinating but not for everyone's taste.Enthusiastic vagueness passes for scholarship in the twilight world of the disc-jockey.

The Psychic Soviet is a great book and I recommend it heartily to anyone. Rock n Roll is capitalist poison!!!
As to the article, it's pretty obvious that computer chips are mutating the world so everyone will live in either clean microchip apple temples or retreat to cluttered record collecting sanity earth nodes. Then there will be a mental war a big flash and a new era will be born. We have already been here with Maya. That's all about computer chips:
Quetzalcoatl is Steve Jobs. In case you are wondering.
Hoarders are the only thing standing between these incomprehensibly rich, all-controlling, indecent, digital super-despots and the complete destruction of any alternative consciousness — and indeed any non-official history or interpretation of the world.Spirit Duplicator—collectable, charming, affordable... and also socially networked on FB / Twitter / Instagram.

I was thinking about this in relation to clothes recently.
Steve Jobs famously wore the same shirt tucked into the same jeans for ever and Billy no mates from Facebook wears the same shirt every day, except he throws yesterdays shirt in the bin every day. Both men also have haircuts they got from photofit pictures of sex pests. Obviously their brains are working on more important things to be cluttered up by considerations of fashion, but if I was as rich as them I would look bloody fantastic, like a bird of paradise from Wolf Hall set in the future.Vardy.....¡¡¡PELIGRO!!!
