Oh!!
You think one unknown record out of ten is a gem??

Well my ratio is much lower , I'd say one out of a hundred is very good ( and it only applies for punk or related records ).

Sheriff Rhys Chatham 10.13.2008 12:59 PM

more than 2.5 million, damn.

even if one out of a hundred of his records is a lost GEM that means he has TWENTYFIVE THOUSAND LOST GEMS, that's more records than i will own in my LIFE

you gotta get a grasp of what it means to have a MILLION of anything.

I'm 100% sure that westernquinoxrocks owns more than 2500000 records by mesrbozw and wolves eyes

What does it mean to have a million of anything?

Rob Instigator 10.13.2008 02:06 PM

start counting and get back to me when you reach a million. I may be 89 years old, but get back to me.

gualbert 10.13.2008 02:09 PM

I'm asking you , I thought you know what it's about.

Rob Instigator 10.13.2008 02:51 PM

It is just an incrompehensible amount of ANYTHING to have

auto-aim 10.13.2008 03:05 PM

that's very cool - shame he has to sell it.

greedrex 10.13.2008 03:06 PM

i really agree with the fact that some library should buy it. It's an archive goddamn it.

I'm not sure this is the best arguement for your position Rob

You know I gots to make it ridiculous.

But for real, put this song on and listen to the guitar, especially before and during the verses. It does cool harmonic accents, which make me rawk.

holy christ.

atsonicpark 10.14.2008 02:32 AM

I wonder if he has any wolves eyes.

edit: damn you syrfox!

i read about this guy on another message board and apparently he's a complete idiot, he sells the sleeves of records separately to the records and prices everything as if it was in mint condition & original pressing, when most of it isn't, and from what i understand there's no rhyme or reason to anything he buys, he just buys anything at random so the majority of his collection is junk and he doesn't know the difference, so it's kind of his own fault that he's going out of business and nobody wants to buy all his shit.

o interesting to know

Rob Instigator 10.14.2008 09:00 AM

his archive still rules all though.

RanaldoNecro 01.24.2009 09:30 PM

How awesome would it be if one of the guys from the Stones, Floyd or some other big group stepped up and just gave them the money and let him keep is collection.

???

Why do you guys feel sorry for this guy? I mean I love records too, but lets get serious. I don't pity any millionaires...

Why should I pity a record collector when people have no homes?

I'd rather save a life than a lifestyle

RdTv 01.25.2009 01:47 AM

I know a guy that went and looked at his collection. He stayed a week and dug for 10-12 hours a day. The guy I know literally bought 30 records. The guys (archive man's) collection was mostly 3-10x per copy of pedestrian mainstream garbage. Yes there were nice records in the archive but, most of the ''real'' gems were picked back in the 90's by the japanese.

HomelessArtist 02.08.2009 06:48 PM

Here too, I think SY should go jam on Eternal songs down there and make a video. Maybe even play the whole piece (new record) and wouldn't that be a beautiful thing?
