Record Store Listening Picks Date Idea

The plan

Make the night easy to start.

Choose the first song and the volume limit before Record Store Listening Picks; the goal is participation, not a perfect performance.
2
Choose one album cover for each other and listen to a track if the store allows it.
3
Explain the choice without making assumptions about taste.
