Unused Lounge Room Record Player Reminds Local Man Of Time He Had A Bit Of Cash Floating Around

A record player that has been used 3 times and is sitting in the corner of an inner city mans apartment now serves as a reminder of that time he had some disposable cash.

"Don't quite know what I was thinking."

"I imagined myself walking over to it at the end of a dinner party, elegently pulling a record from it's sleeve, chucking it on the record player and letting the album play through."

"Only problem is I've only ever one dinner party here and the second I put an album on someone wanted to play a different song, I didn't realise no one listens to entire albums anymore," explained Kevin Hunt (35).

Friends say the turntable has since become less of an entertainment system and more of a decorative monument.

Visitors occasionally ask whether it gets much use, prompting Kevin to mumble something about waiting for the right occasion before quietly connecting everyone's phones to a Bluetooth speaker instead.

He insists he still loves the idea of vinyl, just not enough to use it instead of some streaming service.

"Physical media is still really important."

The expensive purchase now spends most of its life collecting dust, holding a pot plant and silently reassuring guests that somebody living there once considered themselves the sort of person who has got a bit of culture to him.
