I feel like there's some tainting in the collection that needs to be resolved. :)
I think it's much cooler to have Harry Partch (or whatever) and Tori Amos in the same collection.

(Yours truly lost his Snakefinger and 23 Skidoo records because of such silly sentiments. A negative development, to be definite.)

I've recently taken up selling a few unloved CDs to Amoeba, but this time, the criterion isn't whether the music is good or bad, it's whether it's mind-numbingly boring. I really don't like to listen to Drugs are Nice by Lisa Suckdog/Carver, but because it's so distinguishedly BAD, I can't get rid of it, either. Reformed Suicide CDs, on the other hand, arrive at the Amoeba guillotine with nary a (crocodile?) tear from m'self.

I am totally keeping every dumb CD I own, so that my children might say, "Daddy, who the fuck were the Darkness?"

some part of you will _always_ be physically tainted by tori amos

Just bought the book!
And rofl at cringing at yer past taste because it's CONSERVATIVE. There's nothing wrong with Modest Mouse nor Tori Amos. Keep those CDs, who knows, maybe you'll *devolve* again in a few yrs when you turn old and, like, senile.

They abandon the music that gave them unselfconscious pleasure in their youth, cringing at what it seems (somehow) to reveal. Instead of merely following their hopelessly out-of-touch hearts & ears, they develop a purely intellectual interest in "cutting edge" sonics. This leads to a period of exploratory indulgences and an unfortunate tendency to play weird music at parties until someone with more sense puts the Missy Elliott record back on.
Most folks eventually outgrow it. For this reason, I suggest that you hold on to everything that you once liked. ESPECIALLY the stuff that you feel kinda embarassed of. That's the music you'll get the most mileage out of over the years...

Think before you sell - if there is any chance that you think you may want to listen to those CDs at any point in the future, don't get rid of them! Only do it if you absolutely hate the music and if you know you'll never ever want to hear it again.

Come to think of it, it seems that I might've given all my Tom Petty to some friend real cheap back when I was in high school, which I came to regret, but the two disc anthology along with "Wildflowers" has pretty much caught me up on all that I need in that area.

Most older people I know that have sold stuff that they thought they "grew out of" seem to really regret doing so. I'd keep it.

The only phase of destroying music I went through was on the cusp of adolesence a long time ago, when I destroyed the one or two Bryan Adams albums I had, an Ace of Base album and an East 17 album... I have no regrets.
