I thought it was pretty cool that David Choe did an Obama poster, but I didn’t even notice that he did two of them.

World’s Largest Record Collection is Worth $50 Million; No One Wants it for $3 Million

*Sigh* If only…I had $3 Million. But really, If only some giant mega Vinyl library had $3 Million to share this gold with the world. Shoot, or if I had more money so that I could give this guy any money for his health problems.

I hate money.

Why wouldn’t an entity already mentioned, the Library of Congress, not get involved? I can think of worse things they’ve spent money on. Get this collection into well-protected storage and start digitizing it in true lossless format for posterity.

From the official LOC mission:

1. THE FIRST PRIORITY of the Library of Congress is to make knowledge and creativity available to the United States Congress.

2. THE SECOND PRIORITY of the Library of Congress is to acquire, organize, preserve, secure and sustain for the present and future use of the Congress and the nation:

A. a comprehensive record of American history and creativity;
B. a universal collection of human knowledge.*
3. THE THIRD PRIORITY of the Library of Congress is to make its collections maximally accessible to (in order of priority)
A. the Congress;
B. the U. S. government more broadly;
C. the public.
4. THE FOURTH PRIORITY is to add interpretive and educational value to the basic resources of the Library in order to enhance the quality of the creative work and intellectual activity derived from these resources, and to highlight the importance of the Library’s contributions to the nation’s well-being and future progress.
