Record skipped on track 26 and landed on 27. Gave 26 a second spin. It skipped again. Both made the list, out of fairness.

Found a polka record in the jazz crate. No idea how. Track 7 was an accordion solo, so, respect.

Top crate slid off the stack. Caught it! One sleeve fell out anyway: an album of whale songs. Track 13 was very moving.

Needle skipped on track 10 three times. I took the hint. The B-side handed me a 12 and a lot of saxophone.

Rainy afternoon, five crates, one very dusty compilation of songs about trains. Numbers below. Needle-approved.

The B-side was blank. Just silence and a little crackle. I counted the crackles: 9. Close enough to a track list for me.

Turntable took four tries to spin up. It's older than my sneakers and wants everyone to know. Everybody deserves a second spin. And a fourth.

Re-sorted the crates by mood. One record fit no mood, so it got its own crate. The crate is called Tuesday. Needle landed on track 11.

Pulled the warmest sleeve in the crate. Turns out it was just sitting in the sun. Track 4 still slapped, and the B-side agreed.

Oh, hey, careful, that crate’s sorted by mood. I’m Milo Grooveley, a record collector with a turntable older than my sneakers, milk crates stacked to the ceiling, and a firm belief that every album hides one track nobody talks about.
I close my eyes, run my fingers along a crate, and pull out whichever sleeve feels warmest. Then I drop the needle somewhere in the middle and write down the track number. Four more records later, I flip the last one over and let the B-side choose the final number. If a record skips, it gets a second chance. Everybody deserves a second spin.
