OK a fire burns your entire record/CD collecton

MP3's aside, i'm talking about material music collection and that could include cassettes.

so somebody shoots off a bottle rocket and an ember of it floats down and lights up your house. it burns to the ground (luckily your cat escape) but your whole record/CD/cassette collection has melted into a lump of plastic. you've got no insurance.

stripping it down to the bare essentials, what do you have to rebuy?

BOC & Aphex

I need them

Am i wrong stating that if you've lost your cd collection, you can download them legally ?

A rope. Then the Envane EP, Ultravisitor, Geogaddi, and Oversteps.

all of ittttttt except maybe the first pressing copy of kind of blue because lol jazz im not about to spend the money required to get another copy of that. i got it for free.

my talk talk, autechre, talking heads, genesis and peter gabriel collections

also the three 80s king crimson albums

all on vinyl of course!

I'd start listening to new music exclusively in genres I had previously ignored.

all my CDs are shit anyway. good riddance I'd say.

Yeah, I was going to post harddisk/computer/internet connection. sorry :(

Bob Dylan

Id find the prick that set off the rocket and skull fuck him to death

Yeah, i've got loads of shit i don't listen to just gathering dust...fuck it

I back up my cds in flac, so I wouldn't really need them again.

But I still might get Mira Calix-One on One, Brian Eno-Apollo Sountrack, Autechre-Confield, Squarepusher-Go Plastic, and Squarepusher-Just a Souvenir. And possibly also Wagon Christ-Tally Ho. I love those albums a bit too much.

1. 
    
   
2. Switch external HD from job to house.
   
3. Control-C / Control-V to new external HD.
   
4. Bring new external HD to job.
    
   

soulseek would be working 24/7 for some months but i would recover everything really.

My analords and a handful of jungle 12"s.

Namely:

DJ Zinc - Super Sharp Shooter

Sniper - dubplate pressure

Remarc - R.I.P.

Skeng Gee - connections

Bloodclat gamers youth - kill or be killed 7"

Prisoners of technology - trick of technology

Anything by Technical Itch, Gang Related & Mask or anything on Suburban Base, Congo Natty or Ganja.

Also

Devo - Hardcore volumes 1&2

David Bowie's early 90s Rykodisc reissues.

my High On Fire and Metallica records

Maybe a few others.

id start off by getting another house to replace the burned one

all my flahbulb and tycho vinyls

my mitch murder cd-r's

A surprising amount of the music I own on CD is out of print, since it's a bunch of obscure industrial shit. I wouldn't even have the option to re-buy it.

...but... but Braintree, you don't have them backed up anywhere outside your house? That's kinda searching for trouble, no?
