pwn posted:And from Bread Dragon, a noisy gooey blast It's been a few years so I can't remember the exacts, but that LP was co-released with a bunch of small labels to help make it happen in the USA, and I also did a WFBR-exclusive tape edition with a few alternate takes. All the download codes that I set up were sealed into the tape editions BUT you can get the LP version of the filez pay-what-you-want (aka free baby!) over at the band's own bandcamp page. I'm glad you like it!

Earth night 2 update: I was standing next to Jeff Pinkus from Butthole Surfers/Melvins for the entire set and I silently freaked out the entire time. They did a flyer but not a poster and only had about seven of these up on the wall, which I immediately tore off:  EDIT: I've always toyed with the idea of a tour poster thread, like how there's a movie poster thread in CineD. Any interest? DOUBLE EDIT: 100% sure I've mentioned this idea before. ver. highrightnowisleepnow caligulamprey fucked around with this message at 09:48 on May 27, 2019 |

VMP's Rap & Hip-Hop record this month is Southernplayalisticadillacmusic by Outkast and this is the first time the full album has been pressed. The pressings that exist today don't have the full list of tracks so I imagine this one will go pretty quickly. The Classics is Sister Rosetta Tharpe which I may have to grab as well since she is considered the godmother of rock & roll.

I’ll swap my Phoenix for OutKast even though I still really like that album. I can’t imagine it wouldn’t be a available for another swap down the line.

What's a good option for something to store/display 7-inch records in that looks a little nicer than a shoebox?

Yeah, don’t sleep on OutKast, that definitely has the potential to sell out this month. Most Essentials releases tend to stick around for at least a month. Flying Lotus and Veedon Fleece are both still in stock for example.

caligulamprey posted:Super Roots 10 was a double LP in Japan with all the remixes but they split it into two separate releases in the states, you might wanna check and see before offering it up. It definitely has a different cover from mine (which I believe is Vol. 1 with the OG version on one side). I don't think they released most of their albums on vinyl, right? I only have a couple EPs, plus OOIOO and some misc. Eye stuff; all the full-lengths are CDs. But yeah, I'd love to see them again. It *has* been over 10 years, sheesh. I do already have that record, although for some reason my A/B disc has a white label

 New Sufjan single for pride month! Seven different colored variants randomly shipped (i still asked for a purple in the little message box 'cause why not). Somehow not as gay as the Tonya Harding press release, which was loving awesome. Toe Rag posted:I don't think they released most of their albums on vinyl, right?

My copy of Gold and Green by OOIOO is warped and a loving shame, the album is absolutely astonishing. caligulamprey fucked around with this message at 18:57 on May 29, 2019 |

They make mini milk crates that you can grab for $5 or so dunno if they are more aesthetically pleasing than a shoe box. I like the 45 totes https://www.amazon.com/TUNES-TOTE-D...=gateway&sr=8-5 but they seem really expensive for what they are. sporklift fucked around with this message at 18:59 on May 29, 2019 |

In other news I just found out if you sign up for a subscription on Bespoke Post, there's an option for a VMP box where you get four records. It's normally $45 but first time signups take 20 bucks off so uh, pretty good deal. Sign up, remove the random box of shaving cream or whatever it is they assign you, then search "vinyl" and you'll see it as one of the options, called the "Groove" box. They have 10 records to select from, and you pick your four. Edit: I went with Donald Byrd, James Booker, Sarah Webster Fabio, and The Silvertones. The first two were definitely on my to-buy list, while the second two I could take or leave... but at less than $30 this was a no-brainer.

Now, you get to pick four of your favorites. I remember seeing an advertisement for them on Facebook a week or two ago. Immediate bad vibes. Turns out I was correct. A company that makes you sign up and enter your payment data before even letting you browse the merch is shady, and you should be wary of doing business with them. After seeing the merch, I had to Google how to cancel my account: Send an email or call them. A company that makes you jump through these kinds of hoops to cancel, who obfuscate this action, an action which could and should be a simple button-click, is shady, and you should be wary of doing business with them. Anyway the overall, uh, “philosophy” of this business type seems aimed at the “just take my money and gimme stuff” type of consumer, a rather compulsive need to buy and get things in the mail, with only a minimal concern for what the objects actually are. Combined with their aforementioned red flags, I’ll pass. I just hope they actually honour my request that I be removed from the ~club~ (For the record, there are a few records there that looked interesting and I would buy if I weren’t broke as a joke and saving for a damned car. It’s a great deal, about $30 after other fees and the discount, but I’d still be reluctant to give this company my business, and rather regret that I signed up to begin with.)

Sorry, I should have posted the full list of choices in my other post. I think if you search "vinyl" before signing up it'll show the full listing, though... A co-worker of mine is a Bespoke Post subscriber and was trying to get me to sign up a few months ago. He said he never had problems skipping months or swapping stuff, so I would hope that cancelling/changing your box won't be too much hassle.

During that time, we'll be releasing 5-10 new boxes each month so after your paused period is through, you might find something that you like. We’ll also shoot over an email before it starts up again to remind you. But she just sent an email confirming my cancelation, so it’s all good.

Chip McFuck posted:My wife and I bought a media console to store our small collection of records and put our turntable on, but the only space in the apartment that will fit the console is close to a radiator. I'm a little wary of storing the records near a heat source, but my wife thinks it will be fine since the radiator is a closed loop system so no steam is released into the apartment. Reading about it online seems to be a mixed bag so I figured I'd ask for some goon advice. You're 100% fine. I use one of those mini milk crates for my 45s, works well for me.

quote:Hi sporklift, Hey Ballz, how did you find the page? Kudos to you btw. I mean if they keep having some of those VMPs that I missed out on even $45 for 4 isn't a terrible price. The only problem is if you get warped ones I bet it will be a pain to get a replacement. One think I will say about VMP is that I always found their customer service to be top notch.

sporklift posted:Hey Ballz, how did you find the page? Kudos to you btw. What the... that’s a weird email, and I didn’t get anything similar. I found out about that box on the VMP replacement forum, Needles and Grooves. Someone sent me the link to it when I mentioned I was planning to eventually pick up Byrd and Booker. Edit: Oh wait, I did get that email, it just went into my junk folder. So I guess since we ordered it right before June 1, it's technically considered the May shipment and they're about to hit us with the June announcement so we're about to get billed again for another box even though we haven't received the first one. Good thing you can skip months, I didn't want to needlessly complicate things and cancel until after I have that Groove box in my possession.

Sleep concert? I was on the sound crew for one of those a while ago. My boss went to the work site to check it just as the roadies were wheeling out the band's backline then turned around and pulled every single speaker in our warehouse. I think we doubled the size of our line array and quadrupled the original number of subs just so that we wouldn't get blown out by what they had on stage, which was like five Orange double stacks for the guitar, four original Ampeg SVTs and an orange stack for the bassist. Absolutely insane.

Some of those amps and cabs at a multi-amp show can be set up for redundancy, but yeah there aren't nearly as many empty cabs onstage just for show nowadays. I didn't expect to take home vinyl after seeing Snarky Puppy, but the show was kickass and I changed my mind about the vinyl. We also got to waltz our way into the very front seating - I don't know why there was no GA standing area, as a ton of people definitely would have preferred to stand and groove out...

Just to follow up on that Bespoke Post Vinyl Me Please box, the link for it is now featured prominently on their site as one of June's choices. I guess the earlier weirdness we encountered was just because we jumped on it a few days early. Still the same album choices pwn posted earlier. I'm not 100% sure if the $20 off is for anyone who signs up for Bespoke Post the first time, or if they sign up by using someone else's referral. If a referral link is needed, I humbly offer my own.  And as a reminder if you're like me and grabbed that VMP Groove box before June 1, just keep in mind you have another order that's going to be processed in a few days so you have until June 5 to change it, remove it, cancel, etc. I was planning on canceling but... but... I actually need a pair of these. They've suckered me in, guys.
