Old ideas, new labels

Almost three years ago today, we first had this ridiculous idea to dewey decimalise our cds. In those three years, we've catalogued about 820 items. And although our fervor has abated somewhat (real life taking up far too much time and effort), we're still totally into it.

We've been slack about labelling the actual items lately, so we're going through a bunch of "recent" acquisitions. Some of our favourites:



Satanic Panic in the Attic (of Montreal)

PL 236.9 2004 - the fall of heaven
Christian theology -- Eschatology -- Last Judgement and related events -- Fall of Heaven


The King of America (Elvis Costello)

HL Q338.470053092 1986 - Bill Gates
(we couldn't be bothered writing out our subject headings for this one, but working backwards we think it's 330s Economics, 005.3 something involving computers, 092 Biography)

Human After All (Daft Punk)

HL 573.3 2005
Physical Anthropology -- Pre-historic humankind -- Piltdown Man hoax

I Told You I Was Freaky (Flight of the Conchords)

OL 347.052 2009 - legal defense
Law -- Legal proceedings and courts -- Defendants

Voldemort Can't Stop The Rock (Harry & the Potters)

PL 551.307 2004 - landslides and rockfalls
(again, couldn't be bothered writing out the subject headings, but it's something like 550s Earth Sciences)

LCD Soundsystem (LCD Soundsystem)

OL Q784.4 2005 - because LCDs, y'know
Music -- Orchestras -- Light orchestras

Ba Ba Ti Ki Di Do (Sigur Ros)

HL 401.93 2004 - babbling
Language -- Psycholinguistics -- Language acquisition

Whatever People Say I Am, That's What I'm Not (Arctic Monkeys)

PL 133.43 2006 - witch hunts
Paranormal phenomena -- Demonology and witchcraft -- Magic and witchcraft -- Witch hunting

Give Blood (Brakes)

PL 133.4230361763 2005 - charities for vampires
Paranormal phenomena -- Demonology and witchcraft -- evil spirits -- vampires -- non-profit organisations and charities
