A few years back, I decided if I ever had kids, I was going to lock up all my records and CDs in a glass case and tell the youngins that they weren’t allowed to touch them, that they’re very important and only for people who know what to do with them. Knowing kids, they’d do the exact opposite, get curious and listen to them when I wasn’t around. That way, they’d think these albums are sacred and they’ll appreciate music as much as I do.

So today I’m building a showcase for all my vinyl records. It’s going in the living room, brightly lit with sliding glass doors. I’m putting a little lock on it, but I’m leaving the key in it. Wonder how long it’ll take them to be kids and open it up.
