MeloManiac Posted April 20, 2021 Share Posted April 20, 2021 Following up on an earlier post about the Carpenters' Then & Now, and humbly admitting I didn't know anything about the band, but I did recognize their hit songs, I decided to do some more research... and the Karen Carpenter story is actually heartbreaking tragical... Relevant detail the cover art of this album: the house behind the Ferrari is the house where they grew up and where the mother died. "But there was a tragic discrepancy between her public and private selves. Offstage, away from the spotlight, she felt desperately unloved by her mother, Agnes, who favoured Richard, and struggled with low self-esteem, eventually developing anorexia nervosa from which she never recovered. She died at the age of 32." Read about it here: https://www.theguardian.com/books/2010/oct/24/karen-carpenter-anorexia-book-extract With hindsight, this BBC interview is terribly revealing: 3 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billybob Posted April 20, 2021 Share Posted April 20, 2021 There is a documentary on PBS, you may have seen on the Carpenters. A mixture of emotions in their music, even Christmas lps... 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave1291 Posted April 20, 2021 Share Posted April 20, 2021 Don't EVEN sneeze in here! Already found a way to shove a couple more feet of albums in a couple places even AFTER the shelf is up! I guess I can buy a few more now! Yay me! 😂 Now to move a few things around like the light to the right of the table, a lil dusting and a bunch of nail holes for the art work. I think it's gonna work but time will tell. I sure hope it does! 😂 4 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave1291 Posted April 20, 2021 Share Posted April 20, 2021 I just did a 'pie are square" thingy on some shelving I found for $10. The back underside of the shelves are lagged into the wall studs with some heavy duty heat treated 4" screws. Just a spin off on the old concrete block and 12" stained shelving board I started with a long time ago. Then added the 4 shelf 4 foot long inch oak cabinet w/the recessed sliding glass doors. THEN the shelves came back into play, THEN the newer shelving w/the short piece being the last of it. Never thought I'd need it but... In all I've got about $30 in the shelving and screws. Yea, it's gonna work hopefully but I love doing things on the cheap. Had three guys show up to help and laff at me telling me it wouldn't work. Same thing they told me when I put the 6' shelf up below it. They're pricey too. They cost me a case of beer and a pack of smokes. Just to laff at me. Hope it holds cause I don't wanna take one for the team. 😂 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnJ Posted April 20, 2021 Share Posted April 20, 2021 Dang @Dave1291 that's just about a whole wall of vinyl! Keep `em safe! Those split 2x4s look like they could prevent another mishap. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave1291 Posted April 20, 2021 Share Posted April 20, 2021 It'll work. The 2x2's just help w/the stability and weight out front. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
