I rarely play my vinyl versions (though I DO have a record player!). I just like having them because it’s a way for me to feel like I actually own that music, forever. Streaming licenses can be revoked/changed/cancelled. It’s in the TOS. No license BS will ever take away my LPs. 🙂

I bought a record player for the first time in my life a couple months back because I decided I wanted to purchase As It ever Was... on vinyl (and I couldn't fathom purchasing it and not actually playing the physical thing - who ARE those people?). Since, I've amassed a small collection, and the thing I've been most surprised about has been the feeling of being so much more INTENTIONAL with my listening at home.

I love a good, endless playlist of things The Algorithm thinks I'll certainly be into, but there is also some real joy in slowing down. Playing a board game and realizing I need to flip a record. Helps me stay in the present. It has been a nice change of pace, at least on occasion.
