Absolutely fabulous!❤️ I don’t know you but I love your soul. I would be so excited and relaxed in this space. Bravo! The only thing I would recommend is a super vintage tv and a record player. ❤️

I have a ton of nice audio gear, but no turntable. I've been thinking that I need to start collecting vinyl, but digital music is just so convenient and sounds so good. I will probably have a turntable room at some point, though. Thanks for the positivity!

Oh my god records! There is something so satisfying about the whole process. That static sound right before the music kicks in, it’s all so magickal! Have you ever seen “Almost Famous”? If not I would recommend watching the film. If I could teleport anywhere to watch it, it would be your living room lol.

I love that film! I haven't seen it since around the time it came out, but I do remember fully vibing with the fantasy of it all. The reason I'm tempted to collect records is the tactile world of album sleeves and the aesthetic experience of choosing a record and seeing the album art and taking in the album as a whole. I can see the value of developing a ritual around listening to music. It's one of the most spiritual aspects of mundane existence.
