You Know You Have a Digging Problem When..........

RAJ said:+ You buy sealed records because they are sealed and they are a buck




Just today I was going through some sealed Dimple Fields and early 80s Four Tops records trying to figure out what to do with them and wondering why I bought them.


+Tomorrow I would buy them again "because they are sealed and they are a buck".





For 6 pages I was making a list of everyone that fit me.


Then I accidentally closed the tab.





+ When you read 8 pages of a 10 year old soulstrut thread.

- You buy records you don't really want just because you don't want to leave empty- handed

 

[parallax]

+ When you tell yourself that if you would just stop buying so many records, you would have more money to buy records.

 

[ppadilha]

you look forward to your wife going away on a business trip because it means you get to... go off by yourself on daylong digging excursions without making excuses





you give the death stare to people who happen to be casually browsing records at one of your regular digging spots

 

[RAJ]

+ You buy 50 mediocre $2 records but have sticker shock over a $100 end to end burner

 

[ppadilha]

When you're out you keep thinking about going home to listen all to those records you picked up the other day. When you get home you keep thinking about the all the thrift stores you need to hit up.

Visiting exotic countries with deep culture, beautiful scenary, fascinating people and new interesting foods & spending the whole time in dark basement records shops experiencing non of the above.

^ First I was thinking, thank god I don't do that. Then I realized yes I do.

Guilty on all accounts. Plus:





- finding a really underpriced record and then buying extra records at that store with the imaginary profit





- sympathy buys at a store





- dealers text you when new stuff has arrived

When you know you've paid too much for a record and you go on cfrenzy scouring past auctions and even double back to popsike and work your own imaginary math equation that helps you accept your impulsive blunder.

 

[ppadilha]

you hold onto a 2nd copy of a record because the first copy is lost somewhere in your shelves

 

[mickalphabet]

/ ha yeah / . losing records into your vinyl void before even hearing them

 

[LoopDreams]

When you find yourself buying records with the intention of giving them to other people because you know they're GOATS and you need to satisfy the jones but you can't find anything new for yourself.

 

[LoopDreams]

Agonizing over buying a really nice pull because your not sure if you all ready own it.

 

[jammy]

When you MUST stop in every 2nd hand furniture/antique/clothing store you see just in case it has records.

Even worse, buying it on iTunes thinking "I'm just going to give in because I'll never find it" except you did 10 years ago and stumble on to it the day after paying $10.99 for the iTunes LP.

Guilty as charged

I do this all the time with stuff that <$5. I figure it's good record karma and a nice thing to do for your friends.
