thanx for the rant phillipa... i understand the parallel between baseball cards and record collecting-- my boyfriend was collecting baseball cards and sports stats before he became a record whore. that kind of consumption is NOT a measure of appreciation... it's just a different way of doing things, and guys possess a gendered and innate tendency to collect stuff just to brag and swing cock about it on the playground. quite honestly, i think it's cause guys NEED something to talk about, and talking about their hobbies is a safeguard from discussing emotions or personal stuff that guys always run away from. albeit i also know guys who are super emo and wonderful and also talk about records all day, but you get my drift... like you, i prefer to get most of my CDs freefree and spend my money on finer things- i still have more than enough beautiful new music to fill my 24/7. hehehe. -esther
