I'm thinking about de-accessioning more of my cassette tapes. See there's this ugly but perfectly servicable CD tower (of the fake-wood-bought-from-Target variety) right next to my desk but 5 of its 7 shelves are filled with about a decade-plus worth of tapes. Which I never listen to (even tho there's still a tape deck in DJCamry). Mostly cos I'm too lazy to go thru and separate the ones that contain rare gems from the 80s (those would be the ones from friends) from the ones that contain random crap that i recorded from vinyl. What I should do, I think, is find a couple of hours to sort thru them and find the ones that are worth digitizing. And then figure out how to do that. And then I can maybe free up a shelf or two for the stack of CDs sitting on the corner of my desk.
have i mentioned enough that Sharon Jones is playing the Cradle tomorrow night? it's sure to be a kick-ass show. (you should totally be there!)
(and now, won't you please plug away... ) hey, tomorrow is also Mozart's birthday which can be celebrated with a day full o' Mozart on WCPE.
Georg - if you actually overcome the energy hurdle to sort and digitally-convert parts of your tape collection, I'll be bowing in your direction for a week.
it is so awesome to see a library school term like "de-accessioning" used in a REAL LIFE context! wowsers!
