I had that 3 cd set. My mate on the bus told me to get it. Was about 30 quid at the time. And the only tune I got into immediately was chase the devil. Everything else too weird. But I got well into it for years. All those versions with high voices ghosting in. It was one of those when people saw it on my shelf, it was impressive. And the one you put on when someone said "anyone got any dub reggae"

There's no way to be on the outside of it. Everyone fits into some sort of category. I remember looking at the Red Scare sub and reading people cracking in-jokes, sneering at fans of other podcasts, other people on the left etc for being into certain books, holding certain beliefs, then looking at another community and they were saying the same shit about the people who listened to Red Scare.

We all seem to think we're on the other side of the glass to everyone else and nobody's pointing and laughing at us.

it's not just all the bits, it the yo-yo order it's written in, that off the cuffness, plus the sly back and forth put downs. turns out she's doing a substack - https://hhnnccnnll.substack.com/

i just reread it again now and thought it said "they hate capitalism even though some of their friends moved their recently"

I have a 40 year old friend who has never stopped, those tall thin racks of CDs on proud display in the open plan dining room. It's like the last decade of technological advances has passed him by, and why not... it becomes tiring to keep up.

It's like a time capsule. I'd forgotten what it's like to look at spines to find music, not a searchbar in a UI.

There's also a sunken cost fallacy. He bought a Cambridge Audio CD player and those CDs were £7.99 each on CDwow.

Luke never specified gender - a semi hip 40 year old woman might be getting rid of a different selection i expect, though probably noone is hanging on to Finlay Quaye

she's dumping the ones her ex-boyfriends convinced her to buy. The weirder Radiohead ones, Animal Collective, Sigur Ros.
