There's nothing necessarily wrong with liking "classic rock" but if that's the only thing they like then there's a problem. I wouldn't really value the opinion of anyone who only listens to music that's on commercial radio. It just says you have no real curiosity or imagination, and limited exposure to music in general. I am not referring to anyone in this thread specifically.

Ha yeah, my friend runs a Facebook group for musical history in my hometown and gets lots of old ticket stubs, flyers etc pass through. Seeing bands that became huge play for less than a drink in today's prices is always fun. I know I paid more for the parking at Metallica a few years back than the ticket cost back in the mid 90s back home (and obviously they were a big draw back then still).

Money had

Baby Hold On
Two Tickets to Paradise
Walk on Water
Shakin'
Take Me Home Tonight
Think I'm in Love

which all entered eternal repeat on radio and that's five more tunes than a lot of people


The real problem is that the AV Undercover videos have all been pulled down and Coliseum had a great cover of Shakin'. Heavy riffage and the big sax line, good stuff.

The last couple years did less for me than earlier on, their insistence on not bringing back artists (except when they did) really hamstrung them. There's groups and covers I dug from the last few seasons, but it genericized the sound a lot. It could still be argued it peaked with the very first episode, Ted Leo's Tears For Fears cover is loving great.


Now, in terms of whose records are going to become even more stupid expensive, Daniel Johnston.

Play nothing but different versions of MacArthur Park.

I’m truly ashamed to have that at the top of the page. Anybody have recommendations for the easiest way to sell LPs online? Do people actually buy stuff on discogs? got those frank ocean singles and want to take advantage of some hypebeasts.

The Manhunter soundtrack is absolutely essential.

Yeah... I think I get it now. Sorry for not reading years of backposts. And most of all sorry for harshing your buzz guys. I’ll see myself out.

Enjoy the tunes.

Same, though I found it thru Brad Bird tweeting about Michael Giacchino's new solo album. What an all-time great TV score.

How does that even happen? Did they leave it near a hot stove?

apparently wal-mart replaced the cube shelves people liked with a thinner version people do not like

i kinda like the idea of something that's packable as individual cubes/creates (there's a good chance i move in the next ~year). might try some of these weird guys: https://www.amazon.com/Atlantic-96636247-Record-Crate-Shelf/dp/B077KZZGJV

or, the more baller option: https://www.etsy.com/listing/601590414/pair-price-for-the-best-dj-record?ref=shop_home_feat_1&variation1=1392976234&variation0=1411457823

or slightly less baller, though i think my roommate would think this is too ugly for the living room https://www.etsy.com/listing/637196736/4-x-flat-pack-osb-record-crates?ref=shop_home_feat_1

I use to actually have money. Anyway, I know this sounds like a joke but I tell everyone new to record collecting. Just don't It's a huge money hole and probably not worth it. I'm just an autistic weirdo with an addictive personality and I've been doing this too long.

record collecting is worth it just to support the artists I care about. it's the main reason I pivoted from getting classic records to contemporary ones. bandcamp fridays were great for that. if that's hoarding, so be it

Discogs was getting bad before COVID but it's now a full on poo poo show. Prices are out of control.

I was looking through my want list recently and it turned into an exercise to find something I could even afford. Mr. Hands of all things is going for a minimum of $20 with numerous copies listed closer to $80. It seems like everything is median $30 now regardless of popularity or condition. It's insane.

Anymore I use it as an in-store shopping list. I probably look like an rear end pulling up Discogs in the middle of a record store, but it's been a really helpful way to find the stuff I want for in person and also stop buying dupes (which I'm guilty of doing multiple times).

Goddamn that poo poo is fire. It reminds me of the 70s NBC Orchestra (or more to the point... this track makes me think of game show music of the era.)

I don’t even watch Price is Right, I have no memories associated with those tracks, and I’d buy a record of that.

I've hosed around with used Amps for years and I'm finally feeling saucy enough to drop some money on modern (fully operational!) kit. I'm looking at the Cambridge Audio - AXA25, because it's simple and has an integrated app. Is there any Goon Approved poo poo I should look at for around $300-500? Bluetooth would be nice, but not necessary. Alternatively, has anyone got their poo poo working with Sonos gear - is it any good? I'm thinking about adding the Sonos amp.

Looks good, but can't see it available in Canada.
