Okay a lil PSA

I've seen many people handle their records wrong and it drives me crazy, so here are some tips if you're just starting out.

For the love of God, DON'T HOLD YOUR RECORDS LIKE THIS

If you touch the record grooves, the oils from your hands will transfer and damage the record. (also I'm not actually touching it but you get my point - never touch!!)

Instead, hold it like this (if you have a 7" single):

Like this (for the Big Bois™):

Or this (if you're using two hands):

Always hold your record by the edges, NEVER touch the grooves!

DON'T STACK YOUR RECORDS!!!

If I see one more instagrammy hipster kid do this I'm gonna scream. Stacking your records over a long period of time will cause the records to warp and bend. It's worse if you have heavier records that albums get pressed on nowadays, as they are so heavy when stacked together.

Instead store your records on a shelf like this:

Or in a box where they fit nicely.

DON'T PUT YOUR RECORD PLAYER ON YOUR BED DAMMIT!!

This is something I've come across on sites like Pinterest and We Heart It. If you do this, stop. Record players need a stable surface so that the record can spin normally and produce a good sound. A bed is a very wobbly place and IS NOT IDEAL TO PUT A RECORD PLAYER ON! I know ya'll like pretty aesthetic pictures, but don't go ruining your record players for it.

That's all I had. Thank you for listening

The fact that Mr John Richard Deacon, bassist of Queen and writer of the iconic banger ‘Backchat,’ owned a “I’m with this idiot” t-shirt circa 1982 and somehow apparently didn’t manage to get photographed with the finger on the shirt pointing on either of his bandmates, is quite frankly very disappointing.

One thing I love about A Night at the Opera is how Bohemian Rhapsody isn’t even close to being the weirdest song on it
