More cds...I MEAN RECORDS!

Yeah, I keep calling them cds. And sometimes I call dvds tapes and the player the VCR. But I don't say WTF and OMG. So there.

Still not sure how I want to organize my records. So far I have been sort of dividing them into genres like hair bands, or folk/country.

Here is the second part of the list of my RECORDS! (Dang it, I almost typed CDs. What is wrong with me?!!)

(Obviously we are starting with my soundtracks then moving into 80s/90s and my only new-ish stuff, Bjork. Are you surprised?)

1. The Rocky Horror Picture Show (the cover is hanging on the wall)
2. Footloose
3. a Simple Minds single (from the Breakfast club sound track)
4. Heartbeat of the 80's
5. She's So Usual by Cyndi Lauper
6. Eat to the Beat by Blondie
7. Dream Police by Cheap Trick
8. In My Tribe by 10,000 Maniacs
9. Tonight by David Bowie
10. It's in Our Hands remix single by Bjork (and a couple DJs) (my favorite Bjork song)
    
11. Medulla by Bjork (this is the other album cover that is on the wall)
    

I'm still not done, I'll add more later.

So, I got about 120 78s from my mom's side of the family. One of her uncles, I think. There are a bunch of great names. Seem to be mostly from the 30's and 40's. Most of the other records I own are used so I have a bunch of dirty records but this is ridiculous. They are beyond filthy. I am also annoyed because, besides not wanting to play them until I clean them properly for fear of destroying my needle, my record player requires a special pulley to play 78s. Boo.

I did put one on to see what it sounded like. Obviously it was too slow to hear properly. The surface noise was really bad, I'm assuming from the filth. And they are so heavy. I wonder if they are made of shellac or celluloid. If they are celluloid "unbreakable" records that may also be adding to the loud surface noise.

This record habit was a bad idea, as I knew it would be. I want so badly to buy some fancy cleaning products and tools and the 78 rpm pulley right now! But, I have to be good and save my money... For now.
