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.

”- Once you go black, you never go back” someone once said.

The person must have been one of those full time streamers.

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.

Manual cueing: because vinyl deserves foreplay.

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.

This is why i love vinyl

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. 😉

Great song!

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 🤘🏻🤪

Would it be too much to ask for a vinyl record emoji?

We’ve got 🧃 juice boxes, 🪩 disco balls, and 🛹 skateboards… But no wax?

Thanks! Never heard of them before, but now, soon, owner of their vinyl 🎶

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.

Kate Bush - The Whole Story. This is such a great compilation released in 1986. Sounds great too! Haven’t listened to the 2023 re-release yet.

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.

Serious question: are Ghost vinyl pressings known to be subpar? My copy of Skeleta is constant crackle, and I keep hearing complaints about their press runs…

Pat Benatar sang like she was breaking steel. Most 80s dudes sang like they’d broken a nail.

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.

Found this untouched Samantha Fox poster still folded inside a 1986 issue of OKEJ magazine.
Nearly 40 years hidden away – pure 80s time capsule vibes. Don’t know what to do with it tough.

Mayhem – De Mysteriis Dom Sathanas on purple vinyl.
The bass rumbles like a tombstone, the atmosphere pure ritual. Black metal history, summoned straight from the grooves.

First spin of Dark Funeral – Vobiscum Satanas on vinyl.
Owned the CD forever, but this pressing hits really hard, great mastering and pressing.
More polished than the raw chaos of Secrets of the Black Arts – but every bit as summoning.

From Kim Wilde to Pat Benatar… straight into At The Gates.
Like stepping off an 80s neon dancefloor and waking up in a steel mill in hell. 🔥⚙️

Slaughter of the Soul spinning now — razor-sharp riffs, pure melodic death fury from Sweden.
