Rec | VINYL THERAPY

some people enjoy spending after hours shopping for new clothes. me? the record shop has always been a place of pure solace. the funny thing is, i don’t even own a record player - i just enjoy flipping through the lyrics and credits and immersing myself into the art of each album.

Vinyls

Because laying on the floor crying and getting comforted by your favorite record playing on your record player is an almost catharsic experience and worth every penny. Its like hearing your favorite artist for the first time again. (And dont forget to let the record play on mute on Spotify to get the scrobbles for last.fm. We are depressed, not barbaric)

Vinyl

i have ~ 200 records in my collection (started in 2016 bc there was a record store at the mall i worked at, really ramped up in 2020 bc a record store ~20 min away is where i’d go for my lockdown sanity walks when things opened up but were still 6ft + masks at all time) and i love everything about it; they’re larger form factor so they’re physically imposing on your space and catch the eye easily bc of the artwork. they’re the oldest physical media but have made a comeback as niche collectibles, so you could ostensibly have an original pressing sun ra and the new sexyyred in the same collection. you can get them for pennies at an estate sale, or thousands on resale markets. they feel as expansive as music itself in what a collection can look like and how you sourced the library of what you listen to only downside is you can’t burn vinyls the way you can cds or tapes :(

there is something so poetic about physically owning the media that you love. it is YOURS. not only does the collecting make for a great hobby, and playing on a turntable or radio just a more authentic listening experiencing, but it is an effective way to preserve and ENJOY media during an age when everything feels so fleeting. pictured is the shoebox i keep in my car that i switch out with different cds as my heart pleases.
