Looking after vinyls

Just wanted to know how to get rid of the static sound when
playing a vinyl (i just got my first today, i'm only fifteen
- shut up!), because it's really annoying hearing the
crackly sound.

What cloth should I use to remove the dust also?

Thanks.

A serious record collector I know swears by using
this and then one of these.

The former is quite expensive, but the antistatic gun is
well worth it.

sometimes that surface noise on vinyl is nice and adds to
the tune, just like
tri-Repatea(?) or summut. dust on vinyl sucks tho
