I’m repulsed by vinyl…

I started spinning on vinyl during the early 80s. I had a gig in Berlin and after the set, I was packing up my crates and slipped on wet steps down a flight of stairs at the back of the club. Luckily nothing was broken but the incident is forever etched in my mind.

When I hear people talking about vinyl, the memories flood into my mind and I’m repulsed. Still spinning today I like the convenience of showing up at a gig with a USB drive and when my friend was poetic about vinyl I don’t see it.

I’d like to think that I’m over the fall but I legit don’t see any significant benefit off vinyl over tracks.

A friend of mine invited me to spin at his house add we really have a good time but sometimes he makes a point to jab at me about playing tracks. I’ve never told him my story and just shrugged it off but he seems to be looking for some validation from me and I’m trying to be authentic but I feel like I’m running out of time with him because he keeps bringing it up.

I’d really appreciate some good stories about vinyl that would perhaps trigger some good memories before were parted ways so that me and my friend could come to terms and enjoy each others point of view. Thanks
