(01) Rising Curtain: “The Straw That Broke the Camel’s Back”
Yesterday I added my “recent” purchases to my CD shelf system. A load of classical albums including Paul Lewis’ Beethoven piano sonata cycle (brilliant), a couple of Ahmad Jamal double and single CDs (early stuff and equally brilliant), the Oscar Peterson Clef/Mercury Box (I had most [...]
Human CD Holders
The other day I ended up on Popgadget, which happens to be a site covering “Personal Tech + Innovative Life Style for Women”. I have no remembrance of how I landed on the site, but I assume it was when – once again – I was googling for some product. Although I certainly don’t have [...]
Deconomix LP Storage
After many a month online, the most popular search term that brings people to this site is “LP storage”, so much so that livingwithmusic.com has taken over the top spot with many search engines. Since November of 2005, I’ve covered quite a few (but not nearly enough) of the most popular storage solutions for the [...]
“Musikstapler” by Nils Holger Moormann
Design has always been a passion of mine. I know that lots of people don’t afford that aspect a second glance, at least not consciously, and here in Germany people often forgo the design aspect to opt for the cheaper variants, but often things catch my eye and stay on my radar, no matter if [...]
Boltz LP Shelf Units
Usually I can’t even blink an eye before someone takes me to task for not including this or that in one of my posts and also this time, about two seconds after I put up a post about the nifty Boltz CD racks, Steve, hailing from the US, shot an e-mail my way, complaining that [...]
Boltz CD Racks
One way of adding products to write about to my ever-growing list of items is to simply surf through the list of referrers (for those not in the know, those are the “footprints” on my site left by visitors and kept track of via a small excellent programme called “Mint”, courtesy of Shaun Inman) which [...]
German Shelf System ‘max’
Note: This site will go on holidays for 16 days to allow me to finish up some other projects. Programming will resume on August 22.
I’ve been all over the map when reviewing multimedia storage systems, but one of the best that I’ve seen at several friends’ houses is actually from Germany and comes by the [...]
Gothic Cabinet Craft: LP Rack
Sometimes I think I should have kept most of my LPs, which I didn’t, but when that thought crosses my mind, I always remember how much space my old record collection took up. When I had LPs only, many years ago, I ended up with a really cheap metal basement shelf system that I could [...]
Benno and Billy dismembered
Years ago we had a runaway bestseller over here in Germany trashing “Nieten in Nadelstreifen”, which translates best as “Losers in Pinstripe Suits”. It was a real hoot and basically gave a detailed account of really bad business decisions instigated by seemingly incapable managers and outlined the full breadth of stupidity rampant in the upper [...]
Vismara’s Revolving Towers
Yes, I do have to admit to being anally retrentive when it comes around to keeping order in my stuff. After all, I am the person who has all of his books, films and CDs sorted alphabetically (and I mean each and every one of them), I used to write and rewrite notes on A5 [...]
