Rec'd on 📀 CD, VINYL, OR MP3 PLAYER- PICK ONE AND WHY?

Love all forms of media tbh but I’ve always loved the size of the album art and the linear notes and the goodies that come with vinyl. Theres also something meditative about the whole experience that I’ve always enjoyed. My little music corner is probably my favorite room in my house.

Impressive collection!! I've never been into the idea of vinyl because of the cost to entry but I moved into a house and my roommates have a big collection and I think I need more...

@EATGRAEPS thank you!! It all started in 2013 with a touché amore record :) Cost of entry is definitely high and storage is a thing to consider but its hard to stop the record bug when you get it 😵

@FLASHGAME I’ve always gone to ikea! they change out the colors of the cubes every couple of years too. I’ve hit the limit on mine so I need to start brainstorming (or add another cube)

VINYLS AS A SPIRITUAL EXPERIENCE

I have to be quite real. I love buying vinyls when I can. For me, there’s something really special about listening to an album on vinyl. It is such a comfort to me especially since I spend a lot of time alone. To me, I’m not just buying a physical item but an emotional experience that I can relive over and over again. To experience music in this way, to me, feels intimate and spiritual. I think it’s worth it. Maybe this is a really dramatic way for me to justify something silly. But it really makes me happy! Ps. another thing I love about vinyls that I forgot to mention is the ritual of it. I love clicking the start button and flipping it over when side a is done. Ok I’m done geeking out about it, thank you for reading.

GET INTO COLLECTING VINYLS

I have a pretty decent sized vinyl collection, but by seeing a physical copy of the artists music is really cool to me. You don’t experience it as each song individually, but you experience the album in its entirety in order, and you get to see even more love put into it by the way the cover is arranged and sometimes they put in little trinkets to let you know that the artist really loves you.

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 :(
