What do you do with your collection if you don't listen to it?

[deathstouch]

I keep it. Things like that eventually become valuable.

[tangleofgarlands]

Do you sell them later on?
You should try giving some of them a listen.
It's not really the same as classical but sometimes you can hear classical influences, depending on the musician.

[deathstouch]

Yes, when I found myself needing to replinish my funds.

I do not have my collections here, but I am sure that I could find some to listen to here. What would you recommend?

[tangleofgarlands]

I can't imagine selling my records.
It'd feel like selling my soul.

Um. Anyway. I started with Jimi Hendrix. He's sort of the essential guitarist. The Rolling Stones are good. Brian Slade and Curt Wild are my favorites, though.
They sort of changed my life. It's how I figured everything out.

[deathstouch]

I have no personal attachment to the things I'm willing to sell. My books and certain other collections would have been more difficult.

I see. I will have to look into them.

[tangleofgarlands]

you read?
What sort of books?

[deathstouch]

Nearly everything. I suppose I am again a bit partial to classics. The Prince is my favorite.

[tangleofgarlands]

I haven't read it.
I liked The Picture of Dorian Gray, though.

[deathstouch]

It may not be your style.

Wilde was a passable enough writer, though.

[tangleofgarlands]

maybe not. i like gothic horror a lot, but I haven't read much philosophy.
I've read a bit of homer and plato.
but anyway I like Wilde. He's a bit. I dunno. Ornamental I suppose, but that's who he was. it's not to everyone's taste.
(I live with a glam rock band back in London which tells you a bit about mine)

[deathstouch]

They are quite good.
I think perhaps some things I have not quite warmed up to as long as I've been around new things.

[tangleofgarlands]

Like what?

[deathstouch]

Modern society is very crass in general.

[tangleofgarlands]

so was pre-modern society, though.
I think all society can be a bit crass.

[deathstouch]

Perhaps so.

[tangleofgarlands]

what about it bothers you?
You don't have to answer, I'm just curious.

[deathstouch]

Perhaps it is just that I am someone displaced from my intended time.

[tangleofgarlands]

that sounds like quite a story.

[deathstouch]

I suppose that it is quite a story.

[tangleofgarlands]

If you'd like to tell it, I'll admit I'm curious.

[deathstouch]

Perhaps one day. I've been told it's a bit too dark and depressing for first conversations.

[tangleofgarlands]

I understand. I didn't mean to pry.

Sorry, I'm not very good at carrying on a conversation.

[deathstouch]

I don't feel it was all that prying.

You do quite well. I am not exactly an easy conservationalist admittedly.

[ 2000 years of solitude will do that to you. ]

[tangleofgarlands]

oh.
Well, I'm glad for that.
And. Thanks, but it's not you. I'm just shy.

[deathstouch]

Why are you shy?

[tangleofgarlands]

[That stalls him for a minute--nobody's ever asked him outright before, and as such he's never really put any thought into it.]

I'm not sure, really. I just am.
Have been as long as I can remember.
I suppose both my parents, my mum especially, are soft-spoken.

[deathstouch]

Ah.

I guess that's as good a reason as any.
