How Crate-Digging for Old Vinyl Records Can Soothe Your Soul

By Samuel Moser

People of all ages across America have recently been crate-digging for old vinyl records in search of a better sound, according to The New York Times and NPR.

Marcus J. Moore from The New York Times, uses crate-digging as a technique to cure his writer's block. When digital speakers don't do the trick, he needs that warm sound of vinyl to help him relax.

However, the vinyl experience is much more than just a vintage sound. It's the physical process of grabbing an album off the shelf, putting it on the turntable, and listening to a complete work of art that creates favorable vibes for the listener, according to NPR. 

Unfortunately, record stores are dying off, and the pandemic has been the main culprit. The record store is more than just a place to buy a record, it is a center of community for music lovers, according to Moore. 

Moore described how there is nothing quite like old music on vinyl, and he doesn’t like the thought of limiting himself to one genre.
