Update on my #vinyl record static electricity issue - I figured it out!
tl;dr - using the anti-static brush (ironically) while the platter was spinning, esp if I added extra movement, seems to be the culprit. Extra vigorous in the video just to demonstrate. No, I do not normally "scrub" the vinyl like that! :)
