the music streaming economy is soulless and unromantic and we all hate it. physical media is a great but i don't have space for records and a turntable, so as an alternative i've built a modest CD collection that has turned into my pride and joy. thrift stores and records stores (and ebay lol) have some amazing picks and i've found most of mine for $3-8. my next project is to digitize the collection, maybe after that make a server for 'em, who knows...
i love going to the cd section at the music store or scrolling through second hand sites for cds, owning physical media is very fun because itβs nice to have things that you love on display, currently planning to expand my collectionπββοΈπββοΈ
I love collecting vinyl, but my record player is out of commission atm and I can't afford to repair it/purchase a new one, so I've been mainly using CDs for now. They're the most compact (like it's literally in their name: Compact Disc) and I love that I can shelve/stack them neatly without occupying a massive footprint unlike their vinyl counterparts.
also, CD TOWERS! the CDs unfortunately out-drip vinyls when it comes to storage options, so that's also another contributing factor for me.
god damn this quote goes so hard and i resonate with it so much. too bad it was authored by jordan peterson, probably in some ketosis and benzo-induced ecstasy
