This is fantastic. Usually when I am looking around someone's house, it's late at night and they have NO IDEA. I never take anything though. That would be weird and wrong. I mainly just watch them sleep. Nice stereo and nice speakers. I'm a bit of an audiophile (for the record: I said AUDIOPHILE) it's just a shame that most of the music that I've played on it is what I no longer listen to. 95% of my sizeable CD collection (not as large as yours) is useless to me now. I like your loyalty to that guitar in particular. Enough outta me. Thanks for the tour. If you hear a bump in the night, it's just me watching you sleep. Carpe Nocturne.

Very cool! I love your library, some authors I’ve never heard of but will be checking out. The print of the Wicker Man is gorgeous! I have a small but decent little collection, different books on goth culture, vampires and death in general. I love Clive Barker, Edward Gorey , Anne Rice and have a few graphic novels by Gaimen, plus some older comics such as Lenore and Gloom Cookie.

I really need to sink my teeth into "Jonathan Strange" - it seems to have all the elements I adore in a book: a modern Victorian story with a hint of fantasy and English humour. (Speaking of modern Victorian novels, I really recommend "The Red Petal and the White" by Michel Faber - to me it's a perfect autumn book). "The Book of Lost Things" is also one my favourites.

@@ByCandlelight666 Thanks so much for your reply! Those are some serious pieces you got there! Good and demanding music, needs good gear too. Matching different components is also crucial and I like that you chose to balance the "bright" character that generally all B&Ws have, with the "warm" signature of Rotel amps and also that you went separates, with a pre and a power amp. Apart from being a fan of music (mainly metal, hard rock, blues rock and prog rock but also a bit of goth, darkwave, indie, AOR and southern rock) since my late teens and for around 37 years now, with a rather big and always increasing collection of cds and a bit of vinyl, I'm also a technician of audio gear, by profession. So yes, I'm into good gear and high fidelity, too. I guess those two go hand in hand. My system is a Thorens TD402 turntable, a Rotel RCD 1572 cd player, a Parasound P6 preamp and A23+ power amp, an Aiwa ADWX828 douple tape deck and Martin Logan F10 tower speakers.

Beautiful video, Dan! Superb! My heart skipped a beat a few times. I love All About Eve so much! I'm very attached to their songs for many reasons, so it's great seeing those beautiful posters. Also, I have that funko of Disintegration, and I have the other one as well. In fact, I have two of the other one because I bought a second one to glue on a headband (and I drilled spikes into it), and I wore it to the concert last year. Having the funko on top of my head during the entire time added to the experience, and I'll send you pictures of that. Your guitar reminds me of my mirror. I have a golden mirror in my room that I lost on July 23rd, 2012, whilst moving into my flat. It was left in a corner that I'd forgotten about due to distraction, and then someone took it. On the 23rd of September (my mom's birthday), two months later, my friend saw another neighbour walking out with it, so he stopped him and demanded it back. Luckily, he immediately surrendered it, and it found its way back to me. Also, I've done workshops in the past when I used it to train people's mediumship skill (that's my line of work), but I had to stop because one person nearly fainted. So, now it stays close to me in my room. The Woman in Black is a great story. I have a different version, and I also have a DVD of the '80s film adaptation that I love a lot. Lastly, I love The Crow (2024), more than the original one, so I'm in an extreme minority this year (lol). As the saying goes, what's one man's meat is the other man's poison.
