I don't listen to the mp3s, but I have them. It's a bit like being the curator of some boring museum collection.

Yep and it's a good thing. Whatever allows you to have a relationship with art other than being a consumer on some app is a plus in my book.

For me, stoned is the only way to visit a museum, otherwise it gets tiring and alienating very quickly. Last time I went was to an exhibit on Picasso and African art and it ruled. Doesn't get better than staring at African masks when you're high.

I feel like a t rex would get better.

A priceless preserved skeleton of a T-Rex was destroyed earlier today in what appears to have been a drug-fuelled orgy of destruction at the Natural History Museum. The man, whose name police have not yet released, was described as "confused and disoriented, in a high state of mental anxiety and obviously under the influence of psychotropic drugs." Unconfirmed reports quote the unknown man, in his thirties and believed well-known to comic book shop owners, as ranting "I have to kill it! It's him or me! Humans rule! Death to false metal!" and other nonsensical ramblings.

The man is due to be charged tomorrow and is being held in custody for his own safety, and that of the public.

A spokesman for the Dinosaur Preservation Society declined to comment.

This may not come as a surprise, but by and large, most natural history museum employees don't really care much about exhibitions. They're more concerned with their own research and projects, etc.

At least this is what it's like at the natural history museum in Oslo.

Just in case you were interested in some light museum trivia.

vinyl memory of mine was buying jay-z's magna carta holy grail album and jamming to it, BUT But!, there was a secret hidden track grooved into a rectangle that needed to be cut out the back of it.

My first experience with albums was my Dad's GTO, which had a turntable in the glove compartment. lol Terrible idea.

For my first album that I bought with my own money, I believe it was Boston, and then Seger Live Bullet in the 70's shortly after that. Right around that time it seemed that 8-Tracks were becoming more popular but albums still remained my preferred medium because they didn't skip tracks in the middle of the tunes. I had every Black Sabbath album up to Mob Rules, quite a few Rush albums, and lots of random ones. For Rush, even though I'd heard 2112 a few years earlier, I borrowed 'Archives' from a friend and I don't think they ever got it back. I grabbed up all of their albums up to their latest after that. My brother was a huge BÖC fan and would play Agents of Fortune or Mirrors everyday before school. We grew up listening to all the K-Tel pop tunes and some real out-there stuff like Spike Jones and some rare gems like Jan and Dean Meet Batman.

Then we got a Turn Table/8-Track/AM-FM Tuner combo unit that would also record to blank 8-Tracks from any of the sources. That was my introduction to mix-tapes, but that's also when I discovered Iron Maiden. I first saw a Killers 8-Track and the cover instantly drew me in, since I was drawing skulls and dragons around that time. I bought it and was blown away and off to the races. I think my brother still has that contraption too, but I doubt it works. I tore that thing apart many times trying to connect more speakers and just messing around with the electronics. Thats also the same 8-Track player I tried shoving my guitar into. Drugs are bad, nkay.

If you have something to say just say it.
