Bladewillisisdead Posted February 17, 2014 Share Posted February 17, 2014 :(man... idk what to say. You couldn't die though. You had to finish some epic artwork and father a beautiful little girl! One of my buddies randomly asked me one day "what would you do if I gave you my whole record collection?" He has more than me and I kinda laughed it off. He told me later that he was contemplating suicide, had the note written, and was going to leave me all of his records. I was just speechless. It sounds like this didn't JUST happen, right? Because, god damn, that shit is scary. I hope your friend is ok and if not you can encourage him to get some help. Depression can be fucking brutal.

At that point I knew that depression was always something that he struggled with but never to that extent. And Charlie I'm honored. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bladewillisisdead Posted February 17, 2014 Share Posted February 17, 2014 i will pay you to get an avatar Literally every time I post I think "Ugh, I need an avatar because I look like a jackass." But then it takes me longer than 30 seconds to think of something and I give up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bladewillisisdead Posted February 17, 2014 Share Posted February 17, 2014 a zombie face of bruce willis? I could never find the perfect Bruce Willis picture, but I just remembered bearded Bruce Willis wearing a yamaka. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
radiatorhums Posted February 17, 2014 Share Posted February 17, 2014 I plan to burden my brother and sister with my collection if I pass before them and make it very clear that I do not want them to sell them. I also expect them to spend one night in a haunted mansion, but that's a different thing. Shitty Rambo and aflycon 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Out of Breath Records Posted February 17, 2014 Share Posted February 17, 2014 I'd want my ashes pressed into a one-off of a comp of my favorite songs. Then as for my records I would give them to friends who truly appreciate them, or give them to my children/soon to be little siblings to give them something good to listen to while they grow up.

One Hundred Fifty-Two Posted February 17, 2014 Share Posted February 17, 2014 I think my family would just take them to a record store. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shitty Rambo Posted February 17, 2014 Share Posted February 17, 2014 I think my family would just take them to a record store. Or try and trade them to Whole Foods for gift cards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
horrorbusiness138 Posted February 17, 2014 Share Posted February 17, 2014 Very creepy, but also very cool at the same time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billya Posted February 17, 2014 Share Posted February 17, 2014 Luckily my brother is a record collector as well. He'd be able to make sure that they wouldn't wind up wasted or let go of for nothing. Very creepy, but also very cool at the same time. Did you read the thread, or just the title? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

drds89 Posted February 17, 2014 Share Posted February 17, 2014 This topic is routinely discussed in another hobby I've been involved in most of my life, as the demographics are much different than the VC boards (read: older dudes, similar male : female ratio), and the collections with rare items can range from 3 to 5 digits as an average. But there are the 7+ digit skyscrapers as well. This should be part of revocable trust (to keep out of probate) or a will at a minimum. Our kids who are interested in that hobby get that stuff and the ones into vinyl get dibs, then my younger brother. I actually gave him all of my original 70's/80's vinyl when I got tired of lugging it around and listening to it. He sold off most for Grateful Dead bootlegs, but managed to save about 20 of my favorites (King Crimson (even some boots), Gabriel, and a Yes bootleg). He's a good little bro' - takes my kids to concerts when I'm not up to it, especially when Rush is within a 2 to 3 mile radius. Never hurts to talk about things ahead of time, and when people like Zach's friend say things like that, it also may be prudent to ask how life is going.

omik11303 Posted February 17, 2014 Share Posted February 17, 2014 Separate casket. With the headstone either marked 'Deja Entendu test press' or 'You Fail Me /1'. It'll be nuts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
