Non Smiley Smile Stuff / General Music Discussion / How Do You Store Your Music?

Just wondering how my fellow Smiley Smilers keep their music collections.
Physical product, or do you download everything? Gigantic stacks of CDs in their original jewel cases? Crates full of LPs? I'm in the process of transferring my CD collection into plastic sleeves (the fancy kind that accomodate the artwork without cutting or bending) in order to save space...leaves me wondering what to do with my boxsets, though.
So what do YOU do?

I'd have to think he's had it up to here with the crazy Brian Wilson thing. If Brian doesn't mind, I think Melinda Wilson would.
I assumed MELINDA was behind this whole thing. No past/unreleased material is sacred with Brian's wifeandmanagers, especially if you can make an album out of it. And, if the title fits, er....can help sell records, that'll be used, too. Your assumption is roughly 100% wrong. Possibly more. Yeah, seems like WifeandManagers has always been reluctant to call attention to B-Dub's.......eccentricity (which, as we all know, is one of the things that makes him so spectacularly interesting).

Here's a question: why would Beach Boys Inc. be inclined to release a set of Brian's "Bedroom Tapes" from this era, yet refrain from releasing re-mastered versions of the actual albums from this same period (namely "Friends," "Wild Honey," and "20/20")?
My 2 cents: Such a release would better be geared to the "Brian Wilson" niche of the BB's fan universe. They may be better served for all kinds of reasons to somehow get the rights to them apart from a Beach Boys product, compile them in such a way that the Beach Boys' eventual use of any of these songs is a lesser point than the fact they are Brian Wilson home recordings, and put it out as a specialty kind of item under the name Brian Wilson. It would sell more targeted to that fan niche, in my opinion, rather than making it a Beach Boys product. Recall Pete Townshend and his "Lifehouse" tapes, not to mention his other demo releases. A lot of those solo Pete demos became Who classics, yet the home recordings Pete did to demo them and work them out were marketed as Pete Townshend solo works. Did any hardcore Who fans mind that collections of Who demos from Townshend's home studio were released under Pete's name rather than The Who? The Brian home tapes are basically the same thing, sell them as such. Sounds plausible to me.

And, and... the cymbal can go "tick, tick" with this hand, see? Brian: Wow, Mike! Like this? [snaps fingers]
Mike: Yeah. Brian: That's so righteous! Did you think of that -- just now?
Mike: Like, yeah. Just came to me... Brian: Hey, I'm gonna use that -- can I use that?
Mike: Well, yeah. I mean we'll talk with my guys... Brian: Ok, great. Let me know, d!ck.
Mike: What? Brian: Let me know, quick.
