i'll admit, i collect records. do i play them EVERY day? no. do i prefer them over CDs? yes.
i pay for spotify and primarily listen to it, but when i really obsess about a particular artist i end up slowly buying their discography.
recently i've gone on a dumb quest to obtain a copy of a super rare avalanches record, "undersea community." last fall i ended up finally getting that record FROM JAPAN shipped to me.
it's gotten to the point for me where i hit 80+ of these plastic discs and i haven't bought many due to the fact i really just don't have time to go to the local book store or record store and hunt.
hell, i found bottomless pit (death grips) at a secondhand DVD shop with newer selection of repressings and modern releases. for me at this point, it's like when i want a glass of fine wine forsay, i pick a record out from my shelf, brush it off, drop the needle, and sit back with my headphones on.
