His musical solo projects include Scapegrace (Sci-Fi Themed Melodic Death Metal), Abandoned Palace (Gothic Black/Doom Metal), Chambermaid (Dream Pop/Shoegaze), Beauty Junky (Alternative/Downtempo) and Sigourney Dreamweaver (Post-Rock/Instrumental). He also is an avid collector of comic books, art, movies and music (physical media).
@@WarunkiMedia I'm a music junkie too. That said, you derive pleasure and meaning in your life this way? Among other ways of course, I assume? A "collection" is, ideally, organized and presentable. I could see living with such a collection, and sharing the music with friends, and throwing listening parties, but it looks like it's in a warehouse/storage place.
@@JahNawl I think mine is organized and presentable - this is why you can read all the spines. If it was simply in storage then they would be boxed up with no idea on where anything is. I know where every single CD is out of the 15k that I own. Maybe you should take a look at part 2 of the video? Always nice to chat with another music junkie - would love to see your collection too :)
Just via some comments on his videos - which I do watch and sub to as well. It's funny because if you were to put our 2 collections together we'd literally have every Metal / Hard Rock CD ever released it seems... LOL 🤣
heheh... yeah this is just a collection preview/overview - I'll do more videos to showcase certain segments of it like box sets as that Pumpkins one does rule!!! Cheers!
You seem to be a big SPAWN fan. I noticed more than a couple figurines. I also really liked how you displayed your autographed CDs. Mine are all scattered among my 3500+ alphabetized Metal CD library. Some with all band members and some with just a few.
Yeah, HUGE McFarlane and Spawn fan... have some of the statues and tons of comics too. The funny thing about the autographed CD's in frames is I only displayed them that way for the video... sadly they are all stacked up under my desk as I have no wall space for them. I also have about 50-60 more signed CD's just in their jewel cases. I'll do a video on those someday. Thanks for your comment, collect on! 🤘
Nice to see your love for A-ha! And also your impressive collection and diverse taste in music. I've definately made some stupid desicions selling off albums that I didn't like anymore, maybe influenced by friends, embarrassed for digging metal, and got in an anti genre periods.... and now those albums are sooo hard to find for reasonable prices (I usually seek the early versions I once had). I've re-bought some, but I can't forgive myself for getting rid of e.g. Hallucinations, An Evil Shade of Grey, The Key, Thresholds, Dawn of Possesion, Cold Lake (yes), For God your Soul... etc.
Thanks Dag! Yeah I went through all those phases as well throughout the years so I know what it's like and can sympathize!!! A-Ha rules, too many people in North America dismiss them as a "one hit wonder" but little to they know! I would say the same or Kent, but here NOBODY even knows them. Funny you mention Thresholds because I just recently accidentally sold my first pressing of it... I thought I had 2 copies buy my "other copy" had THE KEY disc in it... which is what I was left with :(
Oh no, that's a bummer. A lonely Key on a longing Threshold tray is just f-ing up the collection. But with a 14k cd mountain some sales accidents probably will occur no matter the inventory routines😅 Besides Black Metal, A-ha is our pride and joy!
Hi Chris Hi Im Trish Ilike you I collect CDs! I have lots of classic rock, Jazz Oldies and a growing world music collection especially Music from Africa! Thumbs up! Trish
Wow, nice video!! You purchase so many new CD, its amazing. I mainly buy used. Are you gonna open all theses new sealed albums? Just wonder, you sell complete discography... is it discography from your personnal collection, or from your double? Also very nice purchase at the debut of the video, is it a marketplace announcement or what. its so rare to see this kind of announcement or marketplace!
Hey Luke! Thanks! Yes, I open and listen to ALL new CD's. When I sell complete discographies it is from my personal collection as I need to make space for new stuff. Luckily I usually have doubles of the albums I really like in this case but feel like I "don't need them all". The purchase at the beginning (the photos) is already broken up and re-sold to the hungry metalheads, such as yourself, in our Facebook group!!! Dominic got the last 40 after they were picked through 😎🤘
@@WarunkiMedia yes i see dominic got it! he made a great deal. i see listing before him, but i pass simply because i recently got many... and need some space too! but decision was hard to take!
Well, I can't say I know it well but it does have a KILLER drum intro and it's in my Pantera collection because Dime is credited for one of the solos :)
So many bands I don't know but am curious. So I chose Ulver to dive into. I like that you have Nickelback's All The Right Reasons album in the Pantera-related section for the tribute song The Side Of A Bullet. And you have Can-Am drawers too! Same here and I know they're a Canadian brand. I live in Texas and have had mine for over 25 years. Maybe longer but at least that.
wow good eye man, not bad for a guy with an eye patch! Haha... yeah it's in the for the Dime factor of course 😎 And I totally forgot that CanAm was Canadian... luckily I found all 3 of my cabinets second hand!!!! And yeah they rule eh!!!! 🙌
@@WarunkiMedia I've been needing more storage for my cd's for a while and while there was a point where I wanted more Can-Am's, I'm not sure if I still do now. I think I may want to have all my cd's openly displayed. The whole reason initially that I bought the drawers was to be able to lock 'em up when I wanted and to keep dust off of them. But I also did a dumb thing and 3 different colors, colors that don't really go together. If they were all one color I might still want more Can-Ams. We'll see what I decide.
can am in markham ontario ,. i got 8 of those full, 3 others same but different company than a homemade wooden one and still cds pulled up everywhere,.. ive got around 20,000.. but mostly all forms of rock from 1975-1989 is the bulk of it,. i try to get japanese, shm, blu-spec etc versions.. couple cds i still haven’t come across,.. ray roper bernie labarge
Wow that's amazing! Right on! If you purchase off Discogs add me to your "friends" list and see my inventory, I am OmnisighT and will give you a discount for watching my video. I'm selling some Japanese pressings too! Cheers! @@nickcarter9662
So cool. Was happy to see Tiamat. Happen to have any Church Of Misery? I didn't see it in your Japanese section. Not judging, just curious but envious overall too. It's all great. Much respect.
Yeah Tiamat is a great band eh! I never heard Church of Misery believe it or not so I will do some research this weekend - thanks for the recommendation! Respect 🤘
Very cool. Nice drummer representation too. No one ever talks about their storage cabinetry itself. Looks like a lot of similar shelving but some other forms as well. When you started out you must have just bought what was good at the time but later on did you make a conscious effort to get something that would look uniform or...? Just curious as to people's choices. *update...I just started watching your metal collection video and there you mention Ikea towers. So that answers that.
Thanks, and you are right - the storage towers and units deserve a video on their own as I have at least 6 different units for storing my CD's. Perhaps I'll do a video on this soon. There are a couple of super cool small horizontal units that Ikea used to make, one with a sliding armadillo style doors and the other with nice tinted glass sliding doors. The most common tall towers are Ikea benno/gnedby. I just love the "wall of sound" they can create when put together - this was a conscious and time consuming effort that I constructed in the pandemic time 😎
sweet brother i love it!,. i got between 15,000-20,000.,,, little different genre as well,. i’m more into music from early 70’s till around 1988 mainly,..
Sorry there was a typo before, here's the correct links and info! Glad you dig it! Music by Sigourney Dreamweaver Song: "Cold Waves" Album: "Of Gods And Monsters" (2023) BUY/DOWNLOAD: sigourneydreamweaver.bandcamp.com
Pretty awesome collection. I was trying to figure out your sorting method, but at a quick glance, I can't figure it out. It would drive me bonkers using drawers and having CDs behind other things, but that's just me. Though my collection is 1/4 of what yours is, and I don't always play absolutely everything regularly, I like to have everything within reach at any given moment. Awesome nonetheless. I look forward to seeing more of your videos!
Glad to see the second part of your collection. it is really impressive! CDs everywhere! Happy New Year by the way, Cheers, and lots of CD's and good deal for 2024!
