Shownotes

This is a preview of a premium episode from the Patreon feed, TIYA After Dark! Head to patreon.com/thisisyourafterlife to hear this full episode and all the others for just $5 a month.

Matt Sage, aka M. Sage and 1/4 of TIYA fave Fuubutsushi, is here to talk about a shared passion of ours: compact discs, aka CDs!!! Matt and I have become friends since his first appearance on the podcast, and it was a blast to stretch out and go super-nerd mode here. I hope you find it as fun as we did.

We talk about: being physical media guys, Neanderthal behavior, the morality of collecting objects, the relative newness of recorded audio, best spots for CD shopping, overspending abroad, ekphrasis, archeology, curation, greenwashing, powerlessness vs. unmanageability, Scotland, Matt's no-streaming resolution, plastiglomerate.
