philviral Posted April 6, 2011 Share Posted April 6, 2011 I'll give this a read just to see what constitutes a third of a reason. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sharkticon Posted April 6, 2011 Share Posted April 6, 2011 What a horrible excuse of an "article". Might as well be Cracked.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thesupervillain Posted April 6, 2011 Share Posted April 6, 2011 I didn't even know they still made Cracked. I remember thinking it was really funny 15 years ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seamoney Posted April 6, 2011 Share Posted April 6, 2011 ...........Let's see them compile 78 reasons. Shouldn't be hard. An overwhelming majority of those were not clever or even specific to record collecting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ruggnation Posted April 6, 2011 Share Posted April 6, 2011 seems like the idea behind the article is that collections of anything are dumb. could be. but if you enjoy it than who cares. Just angry people writing angry articles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hipsterasfolk Posted April 6, 2011 Share Posted April 6, 2011 ...........Let's see them compile 78 reasons. Shouldn't be hard. An overwhelming majority of those were not clever or even specific to record collecting. The list is about as original as Bob Saget's stand up.

deafmx Posted April 6, 2011 Share Posted April 6, 2011 i took offense to the #1 reason. I do NOT get high on drugs! fucking bastard! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adamlikesmusic Posted April 6, 2011 Share Posted April 6, 2011 So after actually reading through that, it's way worse than I expected. I was at least trying to imagine actual reasons. Then it turns out the list is a joke. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted April 6, 2011 Share Posted April 6, 2011 What a horrible excuse of an "article". Might as well be Cracked.com One of my roommates reads Cracked religiously, and I just don't get it. Shit's dumb. i never visit the site itself.. just stuff that pops up on digg. and i used to really like their lists. they were funny for the most part, and every once in a while it would leave you with some new obscure knowledge. but now, i just dont enjoy it anymore. any time i end up there, i get to like number 2 in the list and realize that im reading way more about something that im not even interested in Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gabpower Posted April 6, 2011 Share Posted April 6, 2011 Who can talk about wasting their time with a collection while they waste theirs writing this shit. They tried to be funny, but it's not. I guess they won't sell many books. Thanks for sharing since it's vinyl-related. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nothingnatural Posted April 6, 2011 Share Posted April 6, 2011 16. You realized that colored vinyl sounds really racist, and that's not what you're about. That's the only one that made me laugh. Also, I love how so many people (and articles) equate people that are into records as losers. Fuck all that noise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
idreamofpunk Posted April 7, 2011 Share Posted April 7, 2011 Ummmm, guys? Did we miss that this is supposed to be an excerpt from the Indie Cred Test book from Chunklet? This list is much meaner than the list of questions aimed at gauging your indie cred based on your record collection with the link in this thread: http://vinylcollective.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=59177 Thumbs down to mean lists.

hipsterasfolk Posted April 7, 2011 Share Posted April 7, 2011 I mean VC should write a book critiquing this dude, kind of like when Hayek wrote a book based on deciphering the Keynesian bible "General Theory" by Econ. god J.M. Keynes........but our book wouldn't suck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thenuthouse Posted April 7, 2011 Share Posted April 7, 2011 Kind of/sort of funny for the most part, but the payoff of #1 is funny as hell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plasma36 Posted April 11, 2011 Share Posted April 11, 2011 The message from #1 is that you should sell everything that you own that's valuable so you can donate money to charity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
