Micro SF/F by O. Westin

A spaceship landed in the park. A door dilated and a robot rolled out, holding a golden disc in a transparent sleeve.

"Greetings! We found your sound recording. We enjoyed it, and have made one for you in return."

It placed the disc on the ground and returned to the spaceship, which took off.

@MicroSFF Coyote and Raccoon, being the only ones in the park at 4 am, took it back to their shared hole under the big oak tree behind the slides. They don’t have electricity, so it just hangs on the wall. No one else saw the alien ship come or go.

@gunstick A passing hipster put up a hand. "I have a record player. Only heathens listen to digital music, vinyl is the real deal."

@MicroSFF @gunstick Also, a suitable spinning object with a flat surface, a sheet of paper, and maybe a fine needle or straight pin should do the trick, if you don't need HiFi quality or volume.
