I have a tradition that’s been going on since I was a teenager: on
the first day of September, I put on the song “September” by Earth
Wind & Fire. I had the 45 rpm , then cassette, then I had it on a
greatest hits CD and now I just stream it off Spotify.
I’m turning 45 in September, which isn’t really a milestone
birthday, but along with flying off to London to see Kate Bush
(not once, but twice!) and read poetry, I decided to buy myself a
new record player so I could listen to the 100 or so vinyl records
collecting dust in my closet.
I bought the record player cheap on eBay and it’s one of those
retro, briefcase looking portables with two built-in speakers. It’s
ridiculously low-fi, but I love it just the same. I love the ritual of
unpacking an LP from the sleeves, admiring the artwork, reading
the lyrics and that satisfying little pop and crackle when you put the
needle on the record.
I hauled out my record collection, which ranges from Billie
Holiday and Miles Davis to Dusty Springfield and Fleetwood Mac
(and lots of 80s one-hit wonders), and spent an afternoon spinning
the platters. I was also editing copy for this issue and had to keep
getting up to turn the record over, nudge the needle when it hit a
scratch, and adjust the volume. Spotify, which seemingly has every
song or album ever made, judged me silently from my desktop. But
you can’t beat the sound of record, and I’m not ashamed to admit
I was boogying back and forth to my desk. Time to stop in Wax ‘n
Facts and Wuxtry for some new LPs. Dig it!
And what was I editing between flipping those records? The
new restaurant roundup, a list of hip and happening festivals, the
world premiere of my poetry pal Natasha Trethewey’s Native Guard
at Alliance Theatre, the bounce back of the condo market, a special
back-to-school section and much more.
Stay groovy! Q5i
