[Nicolai P. Zwar]

Yeah, the OCD is all in collecting, tagging, shelfing, whatever….

Listening to music? I just pick what really strikes my fancy at the moment. I’m not a professional music critic, nor am I employed by a label to listen to upcoming stuff or select something for the radio or a concert. Music for me is just… joy.
Which means I simply listen to what I feel like at any given moment in time. There is no doubt I will die before I have ever listened to every single recording in my own collection, unless I stop henceforth enlarging he same, which doesn’t seem likely to happen. So indeed, fxxx! it, I’m not even trying.

Music is, for me, that garden I return to to finde respite from the rest of the world. So while all that tagging and collecting and finding and setting up stuff is “the rest of the world”, sitting down and listening to music… that’s decided on a whim, what I feel like, when I feel like… no system, nothing compulsive about it… listening to music for me is having a couple of hours of restauration, of resetting, of re-charging batteries. I have no system what and when I listen to, I just listen to whatever I want at the moment I have.
