I play albums like chapters in a book, no skipping, no shortcuts. Vinyl reveals what algorithms hide.
I balance my 80s vinyl glam with a dose of Black Metal. It’s called emotional equilibrium. 🤘🏻 Old Man’s Child never fails.

Spinning Duran Duran’s Greatest Hits on white vinyl. “Rio” to “Ordinary World,” every banger hits harder analog. ’80s synth-pop heaven. Such a great collection! #DuranDuran #VinylVibes #NowSpinning

Throughout history we blamed Novels, Theatre, Music, Movies and Videogames. Now it’s AI’s turn to take some beating.
I guess it’s just more convenient that way.

Kim Wilde’s Never Say Never, such an underrated comeback. It’s got that perfect mix of modern polish and classic Wilde energy. Sadly it never got a vinyl release, I had to settle for the CD… but it’s still a gem.

Went from a fully automatic 2000s snoozefest to a 70s semi-auto that actually makes me do stuff. Almost mint condition and smooth as hell.

The visuals, The touch, The smell, The sound. The cognitive engagement, and last but not least, The caretaking and upkeep.
That quiet sense of reward when you drop the needle and settle in. You’ve earned it. Now enjoy it.

Wild how some drop thousands on gear to play music off a slab of cheap plastic. Vinyl’s got charm, sure, but let’s not pretend it’s alchemy.
Just being a bit ironic, take it with a wink. 😉

Streaming is fine, but I prefer physical media. It’s like hanging a nice painting on your wall or keeping a photo album to flip through, you don’t want art only in an app. Same goes for music. #VinylCommunity #PhysicalMedia #MusicMatters

For a metalhead born in the late ’70s, my vinyl shelf has a suspiciously generous amount of Samantha Fox. This is my latest find in Mint condition 🤘🏻🤪

Does anyone now where within EU borders get hold of one of these stylus guards, without actually buying a new stylus? In a temporary moment of dementia i managed to misplace it and can't find it anywhere. AT95, the newer model.

This video breaks down how streaming algorithms reward safe, short songs, while classic big artists like Kate Bush, among other, even more modern artists get buried. Music used to surprise us. Now it’s mostly background noise.

New spin: Pat Benatar – Get Nervous (1982).
Her third album and one of her most striking — both sonically and visually. MTV era maybe? ‘Shadows of the Night’ still sounds massive, and that straitjacket cover? Pure 80s rock theatre.

Not just any record… Samantha Fox – Hold On Tight
Special Limited Edition, engraved autograph copy.
The 80s had a unique way of mixing pop, kitsch and collectability into the same pressing — and I just stumbled across this today for ~$7.

Time for an unscientific experiment.
Vintage Stat-O-Matic mat vs the original Denon rubber mat (DP-300F). Both will sit directly on the aluminum platter.
Test records: both freshly pressed and older LPs.
In the name of science… or something vaguely resembling it.
