One of my favorite passions, and one that I don’t really tend to talk about, is collecting old music in various physical forms. I really love the novelty of a physical disk or cassette that I can hold in my hand, especially with music streaming services becoming the main source of music for most people. Most of my collection comes from my parents, with a few (like the two CDs on top) being gifts or albums that I sought out on my own. It’s super cool to me to have a piece of what is rapidly becoming history. It just feels like a more personalized experience whenever I pop in my “Cosmic Thing” cassette or “Rubber Soul” record and listen to music from a bygone era.
