Vinyl’s are cool

This is a story about music.

Love it. Vinyls are cool. My parents used to have a record player, but it is no longer with us probably because moving years ago.

Fast forward to maybe 2 years ago: My sister gets a record player but I have no idea where any of the older records have gone in my house.

Fast forward x2: COVID-19 and being stuck at home. Ok actually it was before we got told to stay home.

But we found the records in one of the closets at home.

Some of the records we found in the closet, but apparently there are more that other family members have kept

This has been an interesting experience taking a look at records and playing them a bit because this is the time where streaming services are dominating the world. It’s nice to listen to music that my parents went out and physically bought.

I picked out 2 records that were in the cluster that I thought were relatively cool and slightly surprising.

David Bowie “Let’s Dance” and Tina Turner “Private Dancer”

I was more surprised that my parents had a David Bowie album. My mom always talks about how she LOVES Michael Jackson. So I was surprised to not see it in the pile.

* unless its somewhere else and we just haven’t found it*

I’m glad I recognized some songs on the albums. I appreciate the good music that predates my existence.

Overall, vinyls are pretty cool I’m glad my sister has a record player. She does have vinyls of current artists which I’ll test out soon.

But the older music just hits different.
