Wow! What a response! Well, let me answer your questions.
1) I'm 36. Haven't you seen all the photos of me? Now I've got to ask... how old did I sound from my posts? Could I moonlight as a grumpy old codger?
2) No I did not. I'd just substituted my UN for my actual name spoken on the personalized flexi-disc. The actual origin of my UN is a snippet from a stream-of-consciousness lyric from Underworld's most popular track, "Born Slippy.nuxx". The term was also uttered in a lyric by Cibo Matto and served as an early alias for Germany's Can. I sampled numerous recordings of the term spoken by various artists for bumpers for my web radio station in the early 2000s. (Still thinking of launching a few hundred stations if I can work out the blanket licensing.)
3) Of course I did. Didn't everyone? That's how I heard of Bad Company, Ugly Kid Joe, Suicidal Tendencies, Iron Maiden, Guns 'N Roses, and 4 Non Blondes. (I lived in a mecca of white trash suburbia at the time.)
4) Yes. Yes I do. I keep selling off classic rock LPs I've no attachment to in lots of 100-250 to local secondhand boutiques, but I've about a thousand ambient and proto-electronic LPs that I'll keep forever. The 160,000+ file digital library supplements the LPs and CDs for enhanced accessibility as I run my own server.
5) That's right. I can access my server from any web-enabled device so I have the entire catalog available on my trips to and from the office and during my workday every day. I'll keep a few tabs open for music research while I work. I get a lot done that way.
