So it's we're getting a Nor'easter here this weekend. It's been wet and dark. Perfect weather for reading the Times all day long and organizing.
I decided to spend part of the morning organizing my Elvis Costello CDs. After all, three new re-releases come out on Tuesday! I get the honor of buying these albums for a third time on CD!
I'm very ashamed of my Elvis collection. It's completely ridiculous. So, a quiz. How many EC CDs do you think Mike has? This is only the CDs. The vinyl would make the number literally obscene. I didn't count double CDs as two, just one. It includes legitimate albums, compilations, soundtracks, bootlegs and CD singles. So guess away. The winner will win something. Not sure what yet.
Oh, and don't mock too much. I can think of at least two readers here who surely have more than I. You know who you are... :-)

Posted by: Jim on November 17, 2002 03:37 PMoh, Jim. I could kiss you. You clearly think that I'm nowhere near as obsessive as I really am. Or you're being polite...
Posted by: mrw on November 17, 2002 04:25 PMOkay, let's assume you've got more than I do. I'll say 130.
Posted by: Mike on November 17, 2002 08:34 PMYou were one of the ones that I was counting on having more than me, Mike!! :-) That's a bit high. How many do you have?
Posted by: mrw on November 18, 2002 07:17 PMD'oh! Are you counting full soundtracks you bought just cuz of an EC song? That puts me up over 100. And that wasn't even including the compilations I've got w/ Elvis, which must put me up to about 130. I ain't even gonna add on the insane # of bootleg copies I got in trades....
