I have a decent sized collection of records coming in currently at 429 12” + a handful of 45s, singles and a stack of odd but cool postcard records. I’ll think of a random number, then look it up on a spreadsheet with my current inventory that’s sorted A-Z by Artist. Today was 222 so I’m currently listening to King Gizzard and the Lizard’s Polygondwanaland. How do you pick what to listen to?
My collection is only like a third of yours, so it's easier to keep an overview of things. And still I can squat in front of the vinyl shelf for several minutes without deciding 😆
I go by mood and what I'm about to do, then I go for the one I didn't listen for a long time, or the one I'm singing in my mind. Apart from that, its times that I just go through my collection and pick one random.
