I am trying to find a copy of Heady Nuggs, I am guessing that ebay is the best place to do it unless you guys have ideas on a better used record store on the net?

Or you could order the UK version, which comes out two weeks earlier, is cheaper than WB's overpriced release, and comes with a bonus 7" that the American release doesn't:

http://www.rise-music.co.uk/browse/search/flaming+lips/item/245938/Flaming-Lips-The-Terror.html

Use the code 'PRESALE' for an extra 10% off, so $32 shipped to the US.

Is there any goons over there that could help me get this to the states? For some reason it won't accept my CC. Anyone help?

I didn't go to any record stores today but I did have my first almost good find at a thrift store - R.E.M.'s Murmer. If the album wasn't scratched to hell and missing the cover, I might have even bought it.

If you want this album, I have several copies in good condition, if you just want to pay for shipping I would be more than happy to send it to you. Just shoot me a pm, shouldn't cost more than 5 bucks to send it.

Did anyone even get that Flaming Lips set? I like the band, picked it up, and then noticed you're supposed to play all 4 records synced with each other. It's a neat idea, but who can cobble together a set-up to do this even remotely listenable?

There are mixes on youtube you can watch that have all four of them synced up. But I think the band intended for this not to happen so all the syncs would be off thus making each listen something completely different.

So Jack White did a thing with vinyl. Seems really like a marketing ploy.

180 gram vinyl
- 2 vinyl-only hidden tracks hidden beneath the center labels
- 1 hidden track plays at 78 RPM, one plays at 45 RPM, making this a 3-speed record
- Side A plays from the inside out
- Dual-groove technology: plays an electric or acoustic intro for "Just One Drink" depending on where needle is dropped. The grooves meet for the body of the song.
- Matte finish on Side B, giving the appearance of an un-played 78 RPM record
- Both sides end with locked grooves
- Vinyl pressed in seldom-used flat-edged format
- Dead wax area on Side A contains a hand-etched hologram by Tristan Duke of Infinity Light Science, the first of its kind on a vinyl record
- Absolutely zero compression used during recording, mixing and mastering
- Different running order from the CD/digital version
- LP utilizes some mixes different from those used on CD and digital version

Get the Technics for sure. It's going to hold it's value better, parts are easier to find, it can probably accept more cartridge types, finding someone to service it is a snap.

Titus Andronacus A Most Lamentable Tragedy is annoying.

Three disks.

Disk 1 has side 1 and 2. Disk 2 has 3 and 5, and runs at 45 rpm instead of 33 that the other disks run at. Disk 3 has 4 and 6.

The record comes with instructions.

Other than to annoy someone, why would they do this?

Those sides take place in a different time period where things move faster.

The worst are when they don't tell you it runs at 45 rpm.

Neon Indian's latest has 33 on the label, but that's just an error.

GYBE!'s EP has different speeds on different sides and is much easy to manage as they just threw it on the label.
