Visual Playlists

When you've got a record collection so large, how do you decide what to listen to? To help me, I'll often set myself rules that will help draw out music that, otherwise, could be neglected for years.

Earlier last year, Jocelyn gave me the idea of putting the records I was listening to out on display, to give a bit more colour to the room - this led to the question "why not chose a visual theme to dictate my listening habits?"; and here's the occasional results so far.
