i just made this exact same post in the hub, but i thought it was a bit too long to be there. my rule is if it's more than 200 words, it should be a quick blog post. if it's less, it can go on the hub. of course, this is pretty flexible, and not an ACTUAL rule, it's just what i do.
you might be wondering, 'Kauf, why are you talking about word counts and hub posts if this issue is titled 'records'?' The answer is, i got off track. sorry. The actual reason I'm making this is the quick story that follows:349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAOQisdSdAi

so i was just putting a new record on my record player, and the one I'd been listening to needed to get put away. Great, right? WRONG! 349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcJ9uLIOWCF
The record i was trying to put away came in a frickin PLASTIC SLEEVE. it is damn near impossible to get a record into a plastic sleeve. 349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDuQC6FEKfA

i needed to fiddle around with it for a solid ten minutes, before I finally decided to just cut it, tape it back together, and hope for the best. the sleeve, not the record. 349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUA8xkdjB07

it's fine, for now... we'll see what happens when I try to take it out again. eh, that's a future me problem. right now, i get to listen to some new music! 349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxPZ5jWe0HO
and by new, i mean a different record than the one in the plastic. neither of the albums were new, though. one was first recorded in 1971 and the other is from 1975. 349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmuHaWP5pce

ANYWAY. the lesson from all of this: don't put records into plastic protective sleeves, especially if the sleeve is a little bit too small for the record. paper works just as well, without the headache of getting the record in and out. 349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBRySm7fqWR
