Not actual skipping vinyl. Metaphorical vinyl.
Ever had a mental blip that just keeps coming round and round and causes the steady beat and rhythm of your day-to-day life to skip out of sync?
Well that's what I had up until recently.
I could be happily going about my business with my normal 'don't give two flying fucks' attitude then suddenly...
Screeaaaatchhh..skip. skip. skip. skip.
The little mental imperfection in the vinyl causes the needle of your concentration to slip across the grooves. The same little distorted loop of music repeats itself, sounding more and more out of place with the rest of the song.
If you don't do something about it you end up ruining the song for yourself as you will always hear that skipping, self repeating version.
Anyway, I found a simple solution...
Change the record or wipe it down. Do something about it.
I changed the record today and got rid of the blip.
Job done.
And the beat goes on...

You should send that to Mike Skinner. I can hear him saying that.
ReplyDeleteThat's a compliment btw.
