The hardship...

[venta]

Today I am working from home.

This means that instead of the nice, big, fat mp3 collection which lives on my work hard drive, I'm actually having to listen to, like, CDs. And I have to get up and walk across the room when I want to change CD. And I have to actually find the physical CD I want - which really isn't easy. I think I may have to pretend I haven't been mocking people with alphabetically indexed CD collections for years, and sort my own out...

(mp3s at home really aren't that practical, for various reasons)

Archetypal problem though: Does the Best of Deborah Harrie and Blondie go under H or B?

And filing Bat out of Hell under L is technically correct, but looks bloody silly. I suspect that few people will admit to this problem.

And then you get the other annoyances like Madonna and Kylie.

No it isn't. "Meat" is not a given name, and "Loaf" is not a surname.

Madonna is in no sense an issue - most people don't even know her surname. I've a suspicion it begins with C, though.

Kylie is an issue if you make it one, but since she started her career as "Kylie Minogue" I don't think I'd be any more troubled by the indexing than I would be by the fact of owning one of her albums.

Debbie Blondy and Harborough I will concede is a difficult one.
