The strictly charity shop vinyl DJ seeks employment

They proclaim it loudly and proudly. Every boozer in the land these days puts on a DJ night where the fare is "vinyl". One hundred per cent vinyl. All vinyl. Vinyl, vinyl, vinyl. They're mad for it (apparently). Is there some hidden secret behind all this? Something I'm not quite getting? Could it be the supposed "authenticity" of music played by an old-fashioned DJ who plonks a stylus down onto a slippery bit of rotating plastic? Is it a return to a time when things were "genuine", not the modern fakery of streaming and hearing music via bitrate? Hmm. Anyway, very belatedly I've realised I need to ... get in on the act. Yep, I'm throwing myself into the vinyl craze. And here we are: an all-vinyl mini-set from the Niluccio vaults. Yeah, man, exciting times. I'd like to pretend I picked these records with the express intention of playing them during my next DJing appearance down the local pub but er, no. In fact these are simply the last few records I picked up in charity shops in various places in London. Ranging in price from an affordable 50p to a lavish £3, these are a truly random bunch united only by the fact that I bought 'em in the past few weeks. Though for years I've said to myself that I couldn't care less about vinyl per se, it's clear I need stop being so standoff-ish. I need to become a born-again vinyl lover. To get into the groove (ahem) and devote myself to the wondrous world of vinyl and all its crackly pleasures. And so it's all become clear to me (alles klar). I can now set up a new DJing proposition and tout it around the pubs of north-east London. It'll be called "DJ playing strictly vinyl he bought for £3 or under in London charity shops in the past fortnight." Who could possibly resist that?
