Playing records seems to give a sense of care and appreciation listening to music. I understand the instant gratification of streaming can take the anticipation all out of the experience of personal music experience. On the other hand, the ability to search and sample potential music digitally is so gratifying as well. Used to be a crap shoot back when, when you wanted to buy a record album based on one song only. The one hit wonder possibility.
I have enjoyed having instant access to albums of my favourite artists. I can never get enough of Drake's new songs or playing those recent songs from Justin Beiber.
I can't deny the fact that the past was fun, but the joy that I always got from playing certain songs is still there.
