00:00I own physical copies of music and media because, you know, it feels more intimate and personal and it's definitely there, it's in your hands.
00:10Yeah, I had like vinyls around and everything, so there's a part of like, you know, something sentimental, something nostalgic.
00:17People just want to actually physically own something they love, instead of just going onto the phone and looking at that, they want to actually hold it.
00:25There's a movement and people turn into, you know, more kind of physical things, media.
00:31You have emotional connection with your vinyls because they tap into a moment in time. It took me back in time.
00:37Well, did I have a dream of this?
00:49South Vietnamese troops are still engaged in the endless query, not even.
00:54It's time to leave the capture if you dare.
01:08This is faint of time to ground the door. I'm stepping through the dawn.
01:16The relationships with vinyls and specific ones, I have quite a few. I'll name three off the top of my head.
01:26So, my first vinyl that I ever bought, it was in the Isle of Wight and it was Elton John.
01:34I can't remember, I think it was the Yellow Brick Road one because it's got one of my favourite songs, Benny and the Jets, on it.
01:40And that was, you know, it was in Isle of Wight where my mum's boyfriend's from and he's a musician.
01:46And he got me into, you know, physical media and appreciating older music, which I'm definitely much more of a fan of now.
01:54Not saying modern music isn't awful.
01:58And also, one of, like, the biggest, you know, connections is the Doors one because, you know, that was the first time I explored music for myself and got into it.
02:10And, you know, the art of all of them is amazing.
02:14And another one, my last one, this is going to get a laugh, but it's one of my George Michael files.
02:20Because, um, my dad is a massive fan of George Michael and it's really weird, but when my dad's dad, so my grandfather was ill, he would listen to George Michael.
02:30And, you know, it sort of gave him something to, you know, have going back to that, you know, physical, you know, you can't really use it in a way.
02:42And I think my dad would play that a lot to me and I thought, well, I must get a physical copy of it.
02:48So that was interesting, right? So he's just...
03:04Cover art, I think, is definitely one of the most important things when, you know, thinking about art, it's very similar to film.
03:12You want the right image to sort of evoke the same emotion coming from the music.
03:18So, like, when I went in there, I picked up a Janis Joplin vinyl and one of my favourites has a really nice design.
03:26And I think it speaks a lot for the sort of psychedelic rock that was going on during, I want to say, late 60s, early 70s.
03:33So I think that's important. And also other examples like the Beatles.
03:39So Sgt Pepper's Only Hearts Club Band. The artist, I think his name is Peter Blake.
03:44I did some research on him back in my A-level days. And, you know, there's definitely deep thought and understanding going into it.
03:54It's iconography and, you know, what do we idolise? And Peter Blake did a lot on love. So he created the love statue.
04:05And it's pretty much everywhere if you think about it. And I think, you know, art can hold such a big value in our life.
04:13Because, you know, everyone needs to have creativity.
