Something isn't right here.

As a staunch anti-consumerist and anti-capitalist I feel I should post a more serious response to the OP.

The melodic murmur of coffeehouse patrons on a Saturday evening... diving into my research with a whole night of discovery ahead... the sensation of a hot cup of coffee or tea in hand... the moment of inspiration when an article theme comes to mind... invigorating and thoughtful discussions shared with an intellectual peer... letters of gratitude I receive from my readers... challenges waiting to be resolved... the excitement of embarking upon new projects of independent study... new learning gleaned from interviews with mentors and veterans of the socio-cultural and political spheres... the sound of the fireplace... the chill of the air in autumn... the surprise of crate-digging discoveries... a warm bed... used book smell... wandering antique malls and overcrowded dusty used bookshops for long-forgotten treasures... finding them... the sound of a properly-calibrated quality hi-fi... the monumental potential of lossless audio compression... the empowerment of free culture and the Creative Commons... kopimism... anarchism... and workers seizing control of the means of production.

Oh, wait. I see the context now. I had forgotten about that thing.

You can be anti-consumerist and still really, really obsessed with acquiring and owning stuff. As long as it's hipstery stuff.

It just seems like a strange philosophy to be part of when you still need to consume things and purchase things necessary to live and especially when you have large record collections like this guy. Unless he doesn't actually buy any of them and just barters for them or sells his body in exchange for records.
