it sounds innocent, like maybe he really wants to continue to engage you in conversation. it sounds like he might be the type of guy who makes suggestions for restaurants or date activities.
we all know "records" is code for "let's make out to mood music of my choice."
but what if he said "want to come over and listen to itunes?" no bozos. TOTALLY different. records-guy appreciates the retro aesthetic of a record player. itunes-guy is lazy and unoriginal. tape-guy is trying too hard. cd-guy is clueless.
a short while ago, I was chatting with Ben of Cut Copy. a cute, unwashed Australian musician.
as the night wound down, Ben suggested we go to my house and listen to records. ladies, at this point don't simply respond with "I don't have any records" like I did. he doesn't really care about the logistics.
he returned to the tour bus. we'll always have Costello's.
anyways. more recently, I went out with an incredibly well-endowed records-guy. 4000 records.
when my ladies asked about his "record collection," I told them HUGE.
even the proverbial question 'does size matter?' is relevant. and (for the record) like other aspects of life, that's up to personal preference.
