"Like ear sex!" ? from the magic of the first own record
Sometimes there are trend waves where everything has to get better, faster and more modern. Then again and again there are countermovements, decelerations and the urge to the well-tried. The music industry has already produced numerous media: records, tape cassettes, CDs, mini-discs, digital media ... Who knows what else is coming! The record has somehow always remained. For this reason, in 2014, they even produced their own documentary on the subject of 'The Fascination of Vinyl'.
Plates are like women
I grew up with records, even my parents had this weakness. My childhood was pervaded by this moment of darkness in music. When I was allowed to put on the turntable's needle the first time? that was something very special. Platters are for connoisseurs: They want to be well treated and loved? like us women.

Solo dance
We had our record player in the basement. Sometimes I just went down in secret and turned on my favorite song: Chirpy, Chirpy, Cheep, Cheep. These were my wild dance parties before puberty. Great!

Ohrensex!
Two years ago I was in a stylish Airbnb in Holland. There was this fascinating vintage record player. In addition, ancient, iconic records of me to date unknown artists. That was the day I realized I really wanted to own my own record player: the feel, the unique sound, the conscious enjoyment, and the wonderful suffering when the record side is through. Listening to records has something very sensual for me. This creak has no other music medium? that is ear sex.

First love
Hach, the old records of Freddy Quinn. That was my first crush. I thought he was such a great man, he fell madly in love with me and even thought that I would marry him later. Today I like to remember this time with his music. Too bad he retired.

Attention earwig!
My first record was Elton John and Kiki Dee with? Do not go breaking my heart? ? that was really crazy at the time.

It is also really good that records produce their own images in their heads. On record, Elton John and Kiki Dee are sure to be nastier than on this 1076 video:
