The digital world makes us lazy. Music on your phone, your tablet, your laptop: instantly and casually accessible at a whim. But placing a record on a turntable is making love. It is tactile and personal. Your hands must be steady and proceed mindfully. It takes time and intention. You must handle it gently, with care and pay attention to the process. When you do, you reach its sweet analog ****** Effort worthy of Euterpe, Muse of music. She will keep you coming back for more. I do.     ~mce

Why I Still Listen To Records
