1. Linda Yamamoto - “Furi Furi 5” 45 2. “I owe Junichi Miyaji big time for giving me his copy of this very, very rare Pinky Chicks 45 on Victor. How’s that for a sleeve?” 3. Pinky Chicks flipside. “ ‘Yopparata Ojou-san’ is about a girl who gets stood up by her date and ends up getting trashed. It’s hilarious!”

How do you organize your collection?

I divide my 45s first by country—Brit girls, US girls, French girls, Japanese girls, international girls (for the few Italian, Dutch, Spanish, Swedish, Chinese, and German girl-pop records I own)—and then there are the boys, which pretty much consists of the Beach Boys, Lou Christie, Del Shannon, Bobby Hebb, and the Bee Gees (mostly the men who sound like women … hehe). Within the countries, I arrange everything alphabetically. LPs are arranged by decade and genre—’80s chart-pop, ’60s girl groups, ’60s boys, soft rock, metal, and random shit.

What about your shelves? I’m guessing they’re not from IKEA.

I’m obsessed with mid-century modern design, and these shelves were made in the 1960s by George Nelson for Herman Miller. It took ten hours to put them up and they were ridiculously expensive, but they’ve transformed my apartment and will hopefully last a lifetime.
