Accidentally fell into analog music discovery, my mom would be so proud lol My partner got me a turntable for my birthday, mostly as a lighthearted thing because I wouldn't stop complaining about how every hour of my day involved a screen. I work from home so it's phone, laptop, tv, repeat, and honestly I figured the turntable would collect dust within a month. Eight months later and picking a record while the coffee brews has become the twenty minutes of my day where I feel most like a person and least like a robot cycling through apps.

And the discovery side of it completely blindsided me, I went from listening to the same stuff on repeat to hunting for things I've never heard, visiting stores on weekends, swapping recommendations with friends, falling into genre rabbit holes I didn't know existed.…
