Waringdasks firstly broad to you by Newman Media. You're in a cozy living room. The afternoon light filters through curtains, casting a warm glow across the hardwood floor. In the corner sits a large wooden cabinet. Doors open, revealing shelves packed with vinyl records. They're not organized. Years of listening, pulling albums out, putting them back wherever they fit has left the collection in comfortable chaos. But today you're going to fix that alphabetically by artists' last name, the proper way. You pull out a nearby chair and sit down cross legged on the floor in front of the cabinet. The records are packed tightly spines facing out. You can see bits of album art peeking through colors and designs from decades past. You begin pulling records out, one at a time, carefully. They're precious. The first record slides out, you turn it to face you. The cover shows a black and white photograph, artistic and moody. You flip it over there on the label the Beatles bee for Beatles. You set it on the floor to your left. That's where the bees will go. Next record, this one has a bright yellow cover, bold typography. You check the spine blond E another B. You place it next to the Beatles. You continue pulling records one by one, reading each label, starting to create piles based on the alphabet. The Doors D new pile in the middle, Fleetwood mac f another pile, led Zeppelin L. Getting more piles now, Joni Mitchell M. The floor around you is slowly filling with organized stacks. You reach for another record, black cover, simple design, Johnny Cash C for Cash. You start a C pile, the Rolling Stones R New pile, Simon and Garfunkel S. The cabinet is slowly emptying. The floor is filling with alphabetical piles. You're maybe a quarter of the way through. David Bowie D. You place it with the doors Elton John E first D New pile, the Who New pile far to the right. Stevie wonder w goes with the Who. You pull out a record with a dark, mysterious cover, the Velvet Underground V New pile, Bob Dylan D another for the D pile, Neil Young Y new pile, the Kinks k New pile. The alphabet is spreading across your floor, little towers of vinyl each one representing a letter. You keep pulling records from the cabinet. Aretha Franklin F goes with Fleetwood, Mac, Marvin Gay, G New Pile, Otis Redding R goes with Rolling Stones, The Supremes S goes with Simon and Garfunkel. Ray Charles See goes with the sea pile. Your hands develop a rhythm. Pull turn, read place, pull turn read place. Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young C to the sea pile. The Eagles e with Elton John, Tom Petty p with Pink Floyd. The cabinet is half empty. Now you can see the back wall, more space between the records that remain. Janis Joplin J first J New pile, Jefferson Airplane. J goes with Janis the Grateful Dead, G with Marvin Gay, Queen Q first Q New Pile, Talking heads T first T New Pile. You're developing a system. Now you know where each letter pile is located. Your hands move more confidently. Al Green G to the G pile, The Beach Boys B to the B pile, Chicago C to the C pile, Miles Davis D to the D pile. Pull turn, read place, pull turn read place, Santana S, the police p you two you first you New Pile, Van Morrison V with Velvet underground, the Birds B Cream, C Deep Purple, D Billy, Joel, J. Steely, Dan S, Paul Simon, S, Tina Turner, T, Stevie Nix, n First N New Pile, Linda Ronstadt, Are, Donna, Summer S, earth Wind and fire E. You're nearing the bottom of the cabinet. Almost all the records are out, now organized in piles on the floor. Yes, why with Neil Young, Frank Zappa Z first Z New pile Abba A first A. You should have started here, but that's okay. New pile on the far left. The last few records come out, the Allman Brothers A with Abba, James Taylor, T, Kat Stevens S the last record. You pull it out, turn it over Willie Nelson and with Stevie Nicks. The cabinet is empty. The floor is covered in alphabetical piles. Now comes the real organization, alphabetizing within each letter. You start with the A's only two records ABBA and the Allman Brothers, but comes first, then Alman Brothers. Easy you stack them together Abba on top the bees you have Let's see the Beatles, Blondie, the Beach Boys, and the Birds four records, Beatles, Beach Boys, Blondie Birds. That's the order. You stack them accordingly. You continue through the alphabet, each letter getting sorted internally. Artists within their letter organized alphabetically by their name or band name. The D's Bowie Davis, Deep Purple, the Doors, Dylan, you stack them. The EA's Eagles, Earth, Wind and Fire, Elton John stacked, the F's Fleetwood, Mac Franklin stacked, Ks, The Kinks just one, El's led, Zeppelin, just one, Miss Mitchell, just one Ends, Nelson Nix stacked. You're moving through the alphabet now, each letter pile becoming a neat stack, properly alphabetized. Peas, Petty Pink, Floyd Police, Prince stacked, Q's Queen just one, R's Reading, Ronstadt, Rolling Stones stacked. This pile is large, lots of ess artists. You take your time. Santana, Simon, Simon and Garfunkle, Springsteen, Steely, Dan Stevens, Summer Supremes, Tease, Talking Heads, Taylor Turner stacked, us U two just one, V's Van Morrison Velvet Underground stacked, W's the Who Wonder stacked wise, yes, young stacked, z's Zappa just one perfect. Every letter is organized, every stack is alphabetized. Now to put them back in the cabinet, you start with the a's Abba on the bottom of the stack, so it goes in first, spine out, then the Allman Brothers behind it. Both a's filed, the Bes Beatles first, then Beach Boys, the Blondie, then the Birds. All four slide into place. The c's cash Charles Chicago Cream, Crosby King, six records filing in smoothly. The d's go in, the e's, the f's, one letter at a time. The cabinet refills, but this time it's organized p's, q's, rs, The s's take a while. There are many, but each one finds its place. You're almost done, just the end of the alphabet left. The y's slide in, then Z Frank Zappa, the last record in its proper place. You sit back, look at the cabinet full once more, but alphabetically perfect, from Abba to Zappa, everything in its place. You stand up, slowly, stretch a bit. The floor is clear now, just you and the organized record cabinet. The afternoon light has shifted. It's later now the room is dimmer, but the records are perfect alphabetized. Ready you could play one, but maybe not right now. Right now, it's enough to know they're organized, to know that everything has its place, that the collection is complete and ordered. You close the cabinet doors gently. The records rest inside, and so can you. Built pos. Shot it. All in ption s. It's still to the. Bach bus. Stop. Its steak. In a b. Sho It's still still s bake. In portion shot. Thanks for listening to Boring Desks for sleep. If this episode helped you drift off, please subscribe so you never miss a new Boring desk. Until next time, Sleep well,
