it’s sitting on a shelf in his music room. i don’t see him parting ways with it but who knows? the only times i’ve seen musicians sell off their gear is when they go broke or auction it off for charity.

so the one i bought on canal street was a fake? well that's just great. i had that implanted in my skull like 12 years ago.

The memorabilia is a whole other level for me. I'm compulsive and want to complete things. People like Pootytang are amazing to me because they collect experiences in addition to only physical copies. It's not in my genes. I love the stories of people who just do it.

collect experiences? explain.

I have seen them play live maybe 9 times. There are others who have basically followed them on whole tours. I spent a ton of time and money tracking down physical copies. Other's spent a ton of time and money just experiencing things and walking away with a T-shirt and a memory. My way worked for me and I wouldn't change it, but I love the stories from folks who got out and did shit. That's all.

I am a natural collector but my compulsion has been limited by lack of space where I’ve lived. My books and records take a larger portion of my living space than they should but there’s still a limit (thankfully i guess). My favorite beastie stuff will always have pride of place. And there will always be evidence of my beastie past in my office even when it doesn’t fit in.

I travelled to my beasties shows before I had a camera phone and I was stubborn about not wanting to travel with a camera, maybe because my dad spent all our holidays behind a camera? I’m not talking about filming during shows, I’m still mostly opposed to that, But now I wish I had some photos of random things that surrounded my trips. Glad I have a good memory. I’m so thankful for beastie fans I met who passed the time w me in lines and helped me out w tickets etc. There’s another band I’ve followed around the US here and there and it’s great but different. Of course I’m even older now so there’s that.

yeah, i was one of those “walking away w/a t-shirt” people. i’ve seen the boys 24 times. i went to 12 of the gala shows with one of my best friends. it was glorious. while i think it’s great that u guys collect everything the band put out and became historians, i have a nice personal beastie collection but nothing like u guys do. the boys inspired me to make beats so i spent my time and resources on buying gear and records to make music. tbh, i get more of a charge working on tunes everyday than sitting in my spare room staring at my rare white labels.
