I'm cleaning off my CD shelf, because I need to clean out my office. My "office", which used to be my "man cave," but is really still both but feels like more of the latter since I started working from home full time.
I'm taking CDs that have been ignored on shelves for years, and putting them in books, because "I might still listen to them." But here's the thing about the process: I am, now. Listening to them. While I do this bit of frivolous housework.
The CD was a great format. But that's another post.
So much amazing obscure music that I know is going to be lost to the dustbin of history soon. A lot of this isn't on Spotify. Not that Spotify is forever.
I have so much admiration for these artists who are reaching out to me across decades. We'll all be gone soon, I know. But, for whatever reason: I'm a very left-brained person who has always jealously admired the right-brained. My natural gifts have given me a comfortable life, but I always wonder what my life might have been had I been given different ones. I guess the grass is always greener on the other side of the fence.
