Week 4

Record Shop Discovery

The moment I walked in the Good Records on the East 5th street, a fantasy world unfolded in front of me. I've been keen on collecting vinyls since I tried once at a friend's place who has the whole set of the studio. Oddly though, I've thought about it but not planning on getting a turntable and the studio any time soon, which does not impact me to go explore record shops every once in a while. For me, there is something residing in those shops, maybe it's the weirdly old-fashioned records played inside, maybe it's the sluggish customers who look like they have the whole day to squander there, or maybe it's the trippy posters on the wall that stare at you condescendingly, that always puts me at ease, immediately. It almost feels like a secret escape spot from the crazy world out there.

I love this tiny collection of poems because it just made me want to write poems. I will post my own in the discovery log next week.
