Aw gently caress I didn't know he was releasing another album today or I would have tried to grab it. 14 minutes is an eternity when it comes to his albums. I managed to get Mannequin Challenge.

They've been teasing a reprint of Hit Vibes. I really want to snag a copy.

I think Hit Vibes repress is hitting the 15th.

I’m only about half way through, but I like his one the other day about how his review of a kit had made a hugely positive impact on a company, and they had been very grateful to him and how he felt so happy about helping such nice people.

Then proceeded to drag their new kits for the next 20 minutes ha.

Re: collection chat, I'm suprisingly good at remembering what's in my collection both music and video game wise, I think I've only accidentally bought duplicates once or twice? Usually I consciously am buying a duplicate because it's in better condition or some such. It's when I go to sell something that I forget I already sold it. Still remember feeling like a dumbass looking for my copy of Banjo Tooie until I realized I had already sold it a couple months prior.

RE: Collecting, I just have my discogs app always updated and I keep track of my pre-orders in my email box. Don't think I've ever bought a dupe unless it was out of looking for a better quality copy.

Ah ha, so apparently the black pressing was from last year and we all just missed it. Whoops.

Guess we’re stuck with the clear variant, seeing as how the only copy in black at Discogs is for the low, low price of $200.

So uh, I can't help but notice Spacelab9 changed the description of the Galaxy News Radio record to remove the "limited to 250 copies" and it hasn't sold out since the initial store weirdness the day it went live. The bundle is still labeled as "limited to 125" but I've noticed over the past few days it regularly goes from available to sold out to back again.

Look, I'm not having buyer's remorse -- a GNR record has long been a white whale of mine -- but man these guys are shady as hell.

It's probably worth noting my first exposure to this record label was when I bought a "Best of Mega Man" picture disc (I know) at Hot Topic (I know, I know) that didn't have a single track from Mega Man 3 on it.

I don't think I've ever bought a dupe online because usually stuff I order online is either something specific I've been looking for, a brand new release, or something new to me that I grab due to a heads up from someone (often you guys). But when I'm crate digging, it's easy to see something and think "hey, I'd like this!" then later realize I would and do like it, which is why I already own it. But hey, at least that usually inspires me to listen to something cool that I haven't played in awhile.

I also sometimes feel weird checking my discogs list in a store because I don't want to look like I'm searching online for a better deal or something, but that's my own dumb worry, I think.

I have 750 in Discogs. An expedit shelf filled with Yacht (or adjacent) that I haven’t bothered to put in Discogs yet, and maybe 30 records that are my 5 year olds. I give her $20 every few months when we go digging together and she’s found some good stuff. Including some $1 records that ended up being worth $30-40.

Digging through the used records is easily the thing I miss most through this pandemic.

Not necessarily the thing I miss most but Ebay/Discogs just doesn't hit the same spot. At least it keeps me from picking up piles of garbage records and CDs from the thrift store though the dent in my budget is probably about the same or worse.

Not super rare or expensive but I decided to check something off that's been on my want list for a while:



I'm a bit of a Michael Gira fanatic and I felt like I needed to own the first record he appeared on. Nearly 40 years old and still in the shrink wrap with no cuts or anything, disc is completely mint. Gonna make sure to take pictures when I open it up later so I can torment someone with them.

Milk crates are comparable units to Ikea shelves yeah? I've got 5 Ikea cubes 2 steamer trunks (approximately 2 crates per steamer trunk, maybe more) and 4 crates.
Another 25 records on the way thanks to some cool guy over on Needles and Grooves.

Feelin' it so hard.

Looks like I have entered almost 1,200 into discogs but forgot where I left off. My new policy is to enter stuff in as I get it. Someday I will tackle the rest. Ugh and I haven't even got to my seven inches yet.

Approximately 35 Ikea Cubes
Around 12 mini crates of 7in
Few odd crates of garbage records that I haven't sorted and will probably dump at goodwill.

My collection is all over the place with an emphasis on Rock, Funk and Soul. I also have a fairly good sized Country section. Slowly building up my Jazz. Would love more Hip Hop but I feel like I kinda missed the boat by not collecting through the 90's and early 2000's. I love the genre but I more listen to it in the car or at work.

I used to play out a little bit and had a show on our local internet radio but now I just make mixes on mixcloud.com. If you want to hear what is in my stacks you can check it out https://www.mixcloud.com/mawesome

Working on putting a new mix up tonight hopefully. Got a little distracted yesterday.

I am usually terrible about organization for stuff I don't DJ out a lot. The records I DJ are nice and organized by genre then BPM. Between opening a Record Store (Prospector Records in Portland https://www.instagram.com/prospectorrecordspdx/) and the Quarantine I finally spent some time and organised and cataloged the majority of my collection. I have about 2500 Boogie, Funk, and Soul 45s. 5100 Gospel 45s of all genres. The 45s are Label by Artist. After opening the store I think I have 15 or so ikea cubes of 12s and LPs. Most of my 12s went it to open the store.

Maybe it helps that there is no record store in my town. I do feel the same way 90% of the time I go to our thrift stores, but I keep going a couple times a week (well, not for the past few months, but you know...)

I'm sure if you added up all the time I've spent in thrift stores it wouldn't be nearly worth the stuff I've found. But what good is a hobby if it does't waste lots of time? :v:

True that. Just slightly disheartened that the last time I went out of curiosity a couple weeks ago there was nothing but real busted up crappy crappy in all departments. Like why would you bother donating it level broken dishes and things, though that could easily have happened in the back room, on the floor, etc. I assume all the dedicated bargain hunters went as soon as lockdowns slightly lifted and got all the good stuff if it was even there. At least I know I'm not really missing out on anything and am not compelled to risk my health on it any further.

Heh, I thumbed through a bin of records at an antique mall recently too and could tell their stock didn't change much as there was a wodge of Bill Cosby in addition to Barbara Streisand. What would be the complete list of all our record bin "friends"? Besides those above I can think of Mitch Miller and the Gang, Fred Waring and the Pennsylvanians, Lawrence Welk, Firestone Christmas Albums, Polka/German drinking music, and probably unique to my town, Chuck Mangione.

if you don't know, it's a blues rock album by Tim Heidecker & Gregg Turkington in which nearly all of the songs are about drinkin' piss, outside of "Mr. Mudd" (I'll let you guess what that one's about). it's seriously great. on yellow vinyl, of course. been looking for this for a long time!!!

in other news, I just spent a ton of cash on discogs to get a copy of Denki Groove's VOXXX, way more than I ever wanna pay for a record (nearly $80 after shipping) but I have wanted this for like 15 years
