Confessions of a hauntiquary
I’ve just searched on Google and found that the first hits for hauntiquarian and hauntiquarianism are on Feastofpalmer.com.
The history of these words is beginning. I am pleased to introduce them.

Fire Dept — Late Development
Since I wrote a Wikipedia entry for the Fire Dept, downloads of my recordings made available through LedaTape, my online music distributor in Melbourne, Australia, have shot through the roof, after a couple of years of shifting ones and twos a week.
The Fire Dept’s first LP, L’Oeuf d’Or (1995) has been downloaded 916 times, a massive increase from the 350 or so downloads in May this year, and the second one, Elpee for Another Time (1996), has been earholed 1,053 times, more than doubling the May total. The third, The History of Fen Punk Vol. III (2003), has been grabbed 2,031 times, more than quadrupling the 500-ish downloads logged in May.
The LedaTape releases of the Cormorant Cassingles collection (2005) have increased too, since the Fire Dept wiki, the star attraction being the White Ape/Threshold People split cassingle, “Can’t Stop The Want I Got For You, Babe” b/w “No Place” (Crmrnt-4, Nov. 2004), which has been downloaded 920 times.
