I got issues\u00a0with the Discogs database<\/a>. I\u00a0met\u00a0Mikko Kuorinki, talked about the Record Singers empty record\u00a0cover and learned about Discogs. I entered the artwork\u00a0into the database over the weekend and celebrated\u00a0that found a good company. The database enables users to create lists which help to build context for oddballs like the\u00a0empty record cover. There are\u00a0lists for “Freakshow: A museum of strangeness<\/a>” etc. packed with similar inspirational titles. I found Christian Marclays “Record Without A Cover<\/a>” in one\u00a0these lists. Inspirational stuff (Now I want to make an LP too).<\/p>\n

I entered the empty record cover to the database\u00a0and\u00a0contacted some of the list maintainers to\u00a0suggest it\u00a0as an entry for\u00a0their virtual\u00a0collections. Unfortunately this effort led to a user initiative to remove the empty record\u00a0cover entry from the database. This was done based on the fact that it is “Not an audio format”. It was tagged\u00a0“not eligible for this database” because it’s was seen\u00a0as a piece of cardboard – not even a piece of vinyl or other audio carrier.<\/p>\n

I complained about the decision. Record Singers group\u00a0has presented the piece\u00a0as\u00a0a record and that has to count for something! It is a radical departure from the traditions of\u00a0audible music and makes silent recordings (and compositions) of its time appear superficial. As\u00a0it was removed it\u00a0means that the record\u00a0will remain in the same lonely fringe of music it was made for. I’m feel\u00a0that the vote on the records validity was too quick but I understand the desire to keep discogs entries in the audible spectrum. I don’t think there\u00a0would have been\u00a0many entries like this, so it wouldn’t have threatened the integrity of the database.<\/p>\n

It remains in a purgatory state inside the database as only people who have the direct link to the entry can access its:\u00a0https:\/\/www.discogs.com\/release\/8389026<\/a>. I felt sad and made a song about my experience with Discogs<\/a> to cope with the tragedy.<\/p>\n
