I am starting to feel lately that too many people are obsessed with collecting rare records instead of good music. There is so many assumptions that when I dig I look for 'rare' records. I am just sick of the whole concept of looking for raers.
It got me annoyed when I started out that these guys were getting all this shit and all I find are garbage easy listening, but now I just give a **** and I don't connect with the digging community anymore whatsoever and just go for good music, whether that be rare or not.
I just feel as though the obsession some people have with rare records is holding them back. It's not what you have it's what you do with what you have. Lack of funds force me to get real creative, plus good music doesn't have to be rare (it's a bonus when you find something that you feel isn't seen). I just feel that digging these days is shit. It seems to me to have become a competition of who has the biggest wallet.
Have you ever hung around a place where people are so obsessed with rare vinyl? Its depressing and boring as ****. Some people are so deep into the rares game it's ridiculous. That's why I don't visit certain sites.
