Rec'd on 🎧 how to enjoy music again
reject modernity, embrace tradition
Can't say I have any personal experience with this, but it's something I've been considering for a bit. The overwhelming abundance and the tinny low-quality sound of digital media is making me crave records. Going full 2010's hipster mode and getting a record player. Warm, full sound and it invites you to sit (or lay down) with the full album. No option for skips and you can get deeper into what you're hearing. You're inspiring me to take the leap.

Oh I love this. I’ve been collecting physical media since the late 2010’s and trust it will change ur life. The best feeling is a pre-roll and laying on your bedroom floor just listening to vinyl

REJECT MODERNITY, EMBRACE THE OUTDATED
Buying a Walkman cd player and carrying a book at all times is making life so much more enjoyable than using my phone all the time. Idk what it is but it just feels so much more like I’m living life. I have severe anxiety and honestly these changes have helped me so incredibly much. Not to mention that it is so much better for the artist when we buy their album vs. streaming. Currently reading: Norwegian Wood by Haruki Murakami. Currently listening: Parklife (cd) by Blur

Listening to record players in record shops
discovering new music worlds with physical records and not from the comfort of a phone screen can be so refreshing and interesting. embrace how people used to do it
there is so much old music out there to be found and listened to in its purest form

record players
i'm sorry but the hipsters were right - they really hit different. the hyper-intentionality of having to actually get your fucking ass out of your chair and manually pick a vibe for the current moment. the way it neatly segments whatever activity you're doing into 20-22 minute chunks. the way its imperfections make the experience of a given album wholly unique to your particular setup. the way the cases are so big that they can be tiny little posters. great stuff all around

IT'S *NEVER* TOO LATE
some people go their whole lives without experiencing something they want to do or allowing themselves to try something. the rules are made up. you are not too old for anything

dancing
a study issued last month found that dancing is the most effective way of treating and mitigating depression. Walking, therapy, and yoga also outpaced SSRIs. and if you're saying 'oh this was probably funded by Big Dance', there's no evidence of that and if you're saying 'that's just what a Big Dance shill would say', well honey you're right
