Because
this is what unfortunates like you & I live for: an excuse to dig through
the cabinets and the racks, to comb through cast-off pieces of the past
looking for something we either can’t name or have named but feel like
we can’t locate. We like to lose ourselves in brief flashes of memory,
registering the albums’ titles as they flip past us at a rate of one
per second and accurately categorizing them without having to even stop
and think. It is an ant-like version of bliss. Most of us have demonstrated
that we are willing to pay for the privilege.
