Mellow Gold's great, but maaaaaaaaaan a lot of it sounds exactly like Ween's The Pod, right down to the bitching about retail jobs they still had in the middle of recording. I'd buy a reissue in a goddamn heartbeat, though.

Ballz posted:I finally got around to adding the Stephen Arnold Music record to discogs. SAM is a music production company that mostly does television news themes and music for commercials and the like. This record has full-length songs that might get tiny snippets played in a show. Really the packaging art is probably the most interesting thing about it; it's all housed in transparent sleeves with the outer having a blue face and the inner sleeve having the same face, but yellow. Put 'em together and voila: green face. Ballz posted:Yeah. At first it might seem cool to have a thick plastic card that doubles as a USB drive, but then you pack it in alongside a vinyl record and... this is the result: Update: I couldn’t locate a copy of this to buy, but I did find this pretty release. It arrived today and is pretty spiffy  Edit: Big Thang is the penultimate track aaaaaa pwn fucked around with this message at 04:29 on May 6, 2020 |

thrilla in vanilla posted:Sadly I’ve never listened to either. I'm going to guess you didn't grow up in the 90s watching MTV and having a brother a few years older than you. thrilla in vanilla posted:Actually now that I think about it did you ever listen to that single he cut at Third Man? Definitely worth a spin if you can get ahold of it Oh of course. I jumped right on that because it was the first thing he recorded (or at least released in years). He also played on a few of the non-album Icky Thump single b-sides. The earlier Third Man blue series singles were pretty cool. The Gibby Haynes one is good too. caligulamprey posted:I find a lot of people my age are really into One Foot in the Grave (which is my favorite Beck album) because we all went to buy Mellow Gold and it was sold out. There was a Mellow Gold reissue a few years back but it was a limited edition and now it fetches prices pretty close to the original pressings because of course it does. I have it, it sounds good. They also did the same for Odelay. They sound really good.

For TV promo music, they really go balls-out in the packaging. In other news, tomorrow at noon EDT Vinyl Me Please will have the first ever vinyl pressing of Fiona Apple’s “When The Pawn Hits The Conflicts He Thinks Like A King What He Knows Throws The Blows When He Goes To The Fight And He'll Win The Whole Thing 'Fore He Enters The Ring There's No Body To Batter When Your Mind Is Your Might So When You Go Solo, You Hold You.” Expect the site to get goonrushed and crash, and When The Pawn Hits The Conflicts He Thinks Like A King What He Knows Throws The Blows When He Goes To The Fight And He'll Win The Whole Thing 'Fore He Enters The Ring There's No Body To Batter When Your Mind Is Your Might So When You Go Solo, You Hold You might even sell out quickly! But don’t worry too much, VMP’s been repressing her other albums with no set limit, so even if you miss the first run, you’ll probably still have a chance to snag When The Pawn Hits The Conflicts He Thinks Like A King What He Knows Throws The Blows When He Goes To The Fight And He'll Win The Whole Thing 'Fore He Enters The Ring There's No Body To Batter When Your Mind Is Your Might So When You Go Solo, You Hold You.

You Should Never Try to Freeze Culture. What You Can Do Is Recycle That Culture. Take Your Older Brother's Hand-Me-Down Jacket and Re-Style It, Re-Fashion It to the Point Where It Becomes Your Own. But Don't Just Regurgitate Creative History, or Hold Art and Music and Literature as Fixed, Untouchable and Kept Under Glass. The People Who Try to 'Guard' Any Particular Form of Music Are, Like the Copyists and Manufactured Bands, Doing It the Worst Disservice, Because the Only Thing That You Can Do to Music That Will Damage It Is Not Change It, Not Make It Your Own. Because Then It Dies, Then It's Over, Then It's Done, and the Boy Bands Have Won.

So I know this is a longshit but I like to put thew feelers out every now and again. Would any of you happen to have a copy of Tonetta 777 vol. 1 and/or Vol. 2 that you would sell at a reasonable price? Or do one of you otherwise know where to get one at a normal price? All these dickheads on discogs want over a hundred dollars for those and that's just obscene (and absolutely no one is buying them at these prices).

hexwren posted:in unrelated news, gently caress anyone who presses a record but doesn't make it blindingly clear what speed it's meant to run at I'm finally migrating from using my low end turntable (Pioneer PL-990) via my logitech 5.1 PC speakers to getting its own receiver and speakers! Bought a secondhand Onkyo A-8150 and get to open it up on the weekend to clean the pots once I can get some contact cleaner. This thing is way overkill considering that when my fiancee is home, even 25% of the volume dial is too loud for her when she's in the lounge. Anyway, once this is all in place, the next thing will be to upgrade this TT to something slightly better. When I do upgrade, what's a decent Automatic TT (current one has a fixed cartridge/counterweight/etc)? Because my fiancee has her collection of Taylor Swift/Killers LPs, and there's no way she will use a manual turntable. Also needs a dust cover because we have a cat. Oh and just to make it harder - Australian plug (220-240V) so no Fluance etc.

Australia runs at 50hz which adds in a whole extra level of complication, rather than just reducing the voltage to the turntable.

One of my local record shops is doing curbside pickup. I called with a list of 10 albums and they had three of them. Oh yeah. They give you a free bottle of hand sanitizer.  I miss digging though. In other news. I was "lucky" enough to keep my job but since I am spending all my off time at home I have been uploading a bunch of new mixes to https://www.mixcloud.com/mawesome/ All vinyl. All genres.

If you're not following them on social media, Music Millennium's been posting solid deals daily for curbside pick-up. It took a lot not to throw down $45 for that copy of Animal Collective's Ballet Slippers today. Mostly because I already have four goddamn records on the way to my house. sporklift posted:I miss digging though.
