A Sunday Listen Without the Shopping List
Set aside a short hour to play records you own before deciding what the collection is missing.
By Groovefen Music Editorial · September 17, 2026
Pick two familiar sides
Choose records that have not been played recently. Put them near the turntable and return the rest of the stack to its shelf.
Listen all the way through
Give the side your attention without trying to compare gear or browse for another pressing. Note what made you choose it.
Close the session well
Sleeve the discs, lower the equipment as instructed and clear the listening surface. Let the next session begin with a ready room.
Do I need a new record to make listening special?
No. Revisiting a familiar side with time to hear it can be the whole point.
