I don’t own any physical albums. And, after the hard disk failure, my music collection has been rebuilt as links in my notes app. It’s currently at over 4500 items, although a lot of them are individual tracks — particularly when it comes to old songs from my youth and before.

These are almost all already curated to have some meaning for me, and I do reach for odd corners of that pile pretty regularly, especially when discussing musics on the web or posting it here. Plus, importantly, this whole assemblage defines why my taste is what it’s like, so ain’t nobody gonna touch my trash!
