C_J my guess is that Hannu’s parents divorced when he was in early adolescence. Collecting is a way of restoring that sense of order for the little boy inside him.
rhouses C_J I’ll readily admit I have a hoarding problem. Thankfully I left behind compact discs in 2010. It always tickles me that Hannu is relentless in his pursuit for blurays to this day.
Along_the_Wire vinnyt77 I have around 2,000 CDs on three shelves in my long hallway. I have a CD player that I hardly ever use, but love having the CDs up - it’s a piece of art as far as I’m concerned.
C_J I was a hoarder-collector until I moved in with the duchess. Now it’s Swedish death living all the way. Obsessively minimal. I could pack up and leave forever at 30 mins notice. Or 20 without a pre trip wank.
C_J Homegrove I guess it does seem a bit odd, to many people. A bit sterile or soulless. I personally find it quite emotionally freeing to live an entirely clutter-free, paperless simplified life. Possessions just weigh down the soul.
