In 1994 all our albums burned in a wildfire.

4. My albums burned as well.

I followed the .com boom to California and gave them to a DJ friend with the understanding I would digitize them when the tech arrived for that. His studio burned in 2001.

What makes it so much worse is that I DJ’ed at our local college rock station from the age of 18 to 23 or so. I had hundreds of extended singles, interviews, promos and other ephemera in there, plus autographs from so many artists who dropped by the station. One day in the mid 1990s, I got a call from the station manager who said, “Vinyl is dead, come close lear out our record library.” I loaded the car with material dating back to the 1970s.

Plus, I collected British new wave singles and all things Doctor Who, so I had tons of imports in there.

I’ve tried, but trust me when I say that stuff was irreplaceable.

I feel your pain man.
