    Number 2 dropped a deuce

    I generally am not very critical, but this was terrible. Seriously this is then worst documentary I've seen, the first being Vinyl. This had potential but once again Alan included himself in the final cut bringing this whole thing down.

    There is collecting, and there is hoarding

    Alan Zweig's back with another doc about LP collectors/hoarders. Records is less gripping than Vinyl was; there's the sense of all passion spent and a desire to connect with people more than vinyl. He has a daughter now--she filmed one of the sequences--and is able to interview his subjects without hectoring them. Still left unanswered is the question of why the collectors--who seem to be stable middle class people with jobs, rather than obsessives living on psychiatric disability payments--seem with few exceptions to be uninterested in musical traditions and genres. That's why I think of them primarily as hoarders.

    In my own case, after discovering Spotify a couple of years ago, I was able to get rid of most of my CD collection. Now if you enter my apartment you don't have to pick your way through piles of CD's on the floor. So simple, you wonder why these people haven't thought of it.
