I've always had collections--cigar bands, stamps, lead pennies--what kid doesn't? I collected basketball cards when that was my son's interest. I collected photography and art but quickly ran out of wall space. Then I realized I could collect something I really treasured and which occupied only bookshelf space: Modern Firsts, which are defined as first edition books starting with the desk jacket era (aprox 1920). The jackets, because of their fragility, are in fact more valuable than the books themselves. So I sit in my nook surrounded by treasured old friends. These are not reading copies--God forbid--these are objects d'art.
the formally independent (recently acquired by studio movie grill LOL) River Oaks Theatre was a place where i saw so many beautiful movies and seeing this one rlly sutck with me! twas a feast for the eyes
I call it "carooming" because one ball hits another which leads to another... . It starts simply: "If you like x, perhaps you'll like y." So off you go deep into the night bouncing from one song recommendation to the next. Hours pass and and, if you're lucky, you own three or four news songs you would not have otherwise found.
"Country Alt" is what I call songs I like. It ranges from Phosphorescent to Americana to Bob Manning and Kimberly Murray. I tend to my Country Alt playlist like a bitch does for a pup. Songs are added...songs are removed.
