I'm here for the music...

If my sense of humour offends, I do apologise. I know I am weird. I can't help that.

Funny thing is I have just found original account I setup in June 2003!! Under a different name in my old password book. Been here longer than I realised.

What am I doing here? My main aim is sort out my music collection - CDs, Vinyl, FLACs, MP3. Get it organised. Which means get my favourite artists organised and updated. Uploading a ton of artwork - a large chunk scanned from my own CDs. Blitz unloved artists and sort out their discographies. From big name Pink Floyd through to obscure British punk bands. (It can be surprising as to which artists are missing discographies!). I love the research. I want to share what I find back into the community. Not just tagging, but filling in all the little details of Works, Mixers, Engineers. It is the details that makes this place great. Clicking on the name of an engineer and finding other artists they have worked with. Being surprised at who else has recorded in the same studio.

Chasing down the rabbit hole of knowledge.

Enjoy the research to better fill in those unloved artist biographies. I prefer to edit the obscure. My head has a mad need of excess detail which works well in a database like this. Funny how often reading something in MB has lead me to buying a heap of CDs on EBay just so I can expand an artist's discography.

I've been mad for fucking years, absolutely years, been over the edge for yonks, been working me buns off for bands...
I've always been mad, I know I've been mad, like the most of us are. Very hard to explain why you're mad, even if you're not mad...

Note: If you are trying to contact me via PM please be aware that I always reply, but sometimes there is a delay as I don't check this mailbox everyday.
