I wish I still had my issues of Sounds/NME/Record Mirror (maybe even a few Melody Makers) from around mid '76 up until around '80/'81-ish.
 
I occasionally look up back copies from that period of time on eBay, and I can remember every cover.
 
I suppose it's more the memories of reading them, and the associated good times, rather than the actual content, that creates that 'feeling' in me though.

No, please, carry on Ed. I don't really want any suggestions, just some side-splitting comedy gold and brilliantly chosen uploaded pics that we all laugh at...every...single...time...for...years...
 
Perhaps a pun or two about 'clear-out?' That might get the ball rolling.
 
Hehe..Jaymes sed 'ball'...
 
Etc...


Sorry mayte, I'm plumb out of pics to upload.
 
Craigb has some.




James just can't seem to get enough of those images...

I'm almost done with a major declutter myself. There has been some stuff that probably has some value to someone, but I just don't have the time to market it. I took the easy way and just chucked it out. If I hadn't looked for it or at it for a year, it went out. I found a complete set of PA speaker cables that I hadn't used in over 10 years, among other stuff like that.
 
On a side note, I just had new oak floors put in my studio room. Beautiful! I'm building an oak guitar rack based on a design I saw, and doing an entire re-do of the room. I want a nice clean, uncluttered space. Pics to follow completion.

Hi,
 
Not bad ... been improving in that department ... about 30 more LP's will move out this week ... and I cleared up some more stuff on my website, as I still have 190 film reviews to add to the website (already at 215 or so) ... and then I will work on cleaning up the write ups I have on my 2 novels ... with printouts all over the place with errata and such.
 
All the poetry is on the computer, just not on the website.
 
All my short stories are on the website.
 
All my novels WON'T be on the website. But they will be cleaned up and ready to go. One of them for sure. The 2nd might not make it. The 3rd is an unknown. There is a 4th brewing that is written in my head (first time I ever did that, btw!!!), almost all the way to the end.
 
After that ... it doesn't matter to me! But I think I will be into music quite a bit more than I am now.

I had a collection of more than 12 years of Guitar Player Magazine.  It was complete.
 
I had considered the library but they didn't really act excited and would have put them in a back room in the basement where no one would have known they were there.
 
I sold it on E-bay and even made some money on it.

I used to, but it burned down. I'll get a metal one next time.

James,
 
Most mags I can chunk without a second thought. But I can't throw away MOJO's, New Yorker's, or National Geographic's. All are worth rereading 10 years later. I say keep the MOJO's.
 
Cheers,
 
Bert




They are good Bert, but I haven't read any of them in at least 12 years. Time to go.

How about an outhouse? The Sears catalog was very popular at my grandfather's farm.
