Why I Still Listen To Records
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.
