A while back, I lost my small CD collection. It wasn't much, not really a collection, but it was every CD I'd bought over my life.
Remember when we used to buy CDs just to listen to our favorite band's tracks? Good times...
I was already using MP3s a lot, but still had my CDs. When I lost them all during a move, I got bummed out and went fully digital. Then, after a while, I signed up for SPOTIFY and now I don't even have MP3s anymore.
But last week, I got hit with this bad vibe, like, 'If I lose internet, I can't listen to music!'
So I decided to rebuild my collection, but this time with Vinyl, which is way cooler!
And now reality check: It's going to be impossible!!!
Minimum wage here in Brazil is R$1,412.00 and the average price of a vinyl is R$300.00, that's 21% of the minimum wage for a single album. I'd have to spend a small fortune just to get my favorite records, not to mention the ones I still like (but a bit less).
It's so sad...
It's not easy being Brazilian...
