Watching peoples videos in the Vinyl Community, I noticed that most of them are of vinyl finds a not too many showing what they already have in their collection. I know that I've been guilty of that at times in the past.
When I thought of that reminded me of the 30 Day Vinyl Challenge that Mark and Sam Ditch challenged people to this past summer. What that was is go 30 days without purchasing any new vinyl and make a video each day reviewing an album from their collection. I made it through the full 30 days without buying any plus around an additional 30. I was doing videos, maybe not daily. I started having problems with my webcam about half way through the 30 days, so I did a review each day with a Facebook post until I got my camera working again.
I have decided that I'm going to slow down my music purchases and am going to start doing a review around daily in my blog titled Tim's Listening Room. I'm doing it in a blog instead of a video because of health problems that stopped me from making videos earlier this year. I figured out that with the amount of music that I have in my collection now, it would take around 7 years just to show just that. I haven't purchased any new music for two weeks now and have posted my first review in the blog at the above link. I know I won't stop buying music, just slow down some and appreciate what I have in my collection more.
I challenge others to try this. Do your reviews in videos, blogs similar to mine or in Facebook posts. I know there are many people with bigger collections than I have and I am interested to see more of what the already have in their collection.
