How to start a record collection • Buttondown:
I tried to talk everyone out of buying vinyl not too long ago. It’s expensive. It’s a pain in the ass if you move. It takes up way too much space in your home. It warps in the heat. You’ll forget you already have something and buy it multiple times. People write about it when they’re trying to avoid writing about all the terrible things happening in the world. Worst of all, it introduces terrible people into your life: audiophiles. We covered all of these things. And yet, you did it anyway.Congrats. I’m sorry.
Well, as long as you already bought all the equipment, it’d be a sin to see it going unused, so let’s go buy some records.
Pretty much the only thing I personally like on this list is Madonna’s Like a Prayer, and even that’s a stretch. I should probably post my own top ten albums, I always enjoy reading other folks' list and reasoning. Like he says, musical taste is very subjective.
