replace all those albums with cd's and you basically have me (only i work in a lab). i related to high fidelity on a ridiculous level...when i first saw this, i was basically going through the same relationship crap (only it didn't have a happy ending) and the friends i hang out with have a similar elitist approach to music appreciation. we shun people with poor taste in music, only i handle like rob gordon. if you have poor taste in music but show an interest in the good stuff, i can handle it.
