Some rad stuff I picked up recently. Beserkley comp and the Mothers of Invention comp were found at a thrift store for a buck each (!). The Beserkley comp has 4 Jonathan Richman songs/covers I hadn't heard before. Kill Rockstars comp is probably the worst out of the trilogy (B-side opens with Rancid??) but it has a different mix of a Smog song which is rad. The rest of the stuff was picked up at the DC record fair this weekend where I tried not to spend too much money. I'm stoked to finally get the Pre-Moon Syndrome record. A bunch of awesome bands are on there (Pagans, Unrest, Velocity Girl, [the better] The Go Team, Lungfish, etc).

Speaking of vinyl bootlegs, out of curiosity, are there any that are actually worth good money?

Never got around to playing the game but the soundtrack is done by two members of Friends of Dean Martinez so I still want it.

What's your 'here's why I listen to vinyl' album of choice? The one that (to you) perfectly exemplifies and shows off your system in ways you're most proud?

I think at the moment anyway mine would be Eric Clapton Unplugged. There's so much going on and so much 'breathing room' with crisp highs and tight but not boomy bass, works great.

What records have you guys bought that are now exploded in value? I bought Passion Pit - Manners for $15 when it came out and now I see that its selling on Discogs for $200. Just recently I bought the Haim - Forever single for $8 and now it goes for $100+. I don't really sell records but its still fun to see.

Picked up some new vinyls recently. Found Another Green World at some bizarre rural PA thrift store for 50 cents.

Definately picking up the Deluxe pack when I get paid. I love the more Gritty DEVO sound.

My current self took my 16 year old's music preference and applied it to modern day. This format is weird, as it's 3 10" records, all translucent red. And say what you want, but for a 16 year old boy who really liked rock bands and electronic music, this soundtrack was awesome at the time:



It's worth mentioning that the person who created this soundtrack used the same technique for an earlier movie and soundtrack: Judgement Night. That time, they combined rock and rap (before that genre really appeared). What that means is that you got awesome things like Slayer and Ice-T, or my personal favorite, Teenage Fanclub and De La Soul. Listen to this song and try not to be happy: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R6rxsp82OvM

Traded a big pile of junk that I culled from the shelves and got a bunch of reissues / comp stuff I've missed. I've gotten a number of decent 45s lately but nobody cares about those so here's some LPs I like before they get moved from the 'recent' pile:



Almost bought a pair of La Scalas but decided the cabinets were in too bad shape to manage w/ refinishing. I really don't want to have to deal with relaminating, never done it before and would hate to gently caress it up. Odds are really, really low a decent pair will ever show up near me though.

Is this really the first time you've noticed vinyl flippers? You can see people trying to sell limited records for 2-10x what they paid for it before the records even physically exist.

Hello vinyl thread, I lurk almost daily but never post anything. Anyone else collect any reggae vinyl?

I just picked these up yesterday to add to the collection...

Does anyone know if there's any really good record stores in Portland, OR? I'm in town at the moment and have Monday and Tuesday to explore. Preferably somewhere that specialises in used albums (a good prog selection also appreciated). I have already been to the Jackpot Records downtown.

I think I'm going to head over to Golden Gate park tomorrow and then check out Amoeba. Mississippi Records didn't have anything interesting and I had to wait around for a bit for it to open (noon opening time? )

This reminded me of something that is only tangentially related but I already typed it before remembering what thread this was so what the hell:
Back in the day the local postal service had a product called äänikirje (lit. sound letter) that was just a blank C cassette and a padded envelope. I recorded one and sent it to my sister who was working at the Finnish culture centre, under the foreign ministry but not a diplomat of any kind, in St. Petersburg (meaning this was post-Soviet times) and she only got it two or three months later with the envelope very badly resealed and the tape was just static with the occasional faint sound of my voice.

Anyway, that's an awesome find, especially since it looks like a 'real' record instead of some flimsy cardboard piece-of-poo poo with wax coating.

It is kinda pricy, but it looks like it'd be sweet if I had room for it. I'm using an Ikea Kallax shelf to store my records now, but I'd much prefer to be able to go through them crate style instead of just seeing the spines. What's everyone else using for storage?

I'm not sure what you're all so butthurt about here. It's a simple piece of furniture in the specific style that I want that will fit in the space that I have and not look like I dragged it out of a dumpster. $250 is not some huge price to pay for that. If you legitimately think that's overpaying, feel free to steer me in the direction of the same product yet cheaper or better.

Sorry if I'm not buying into whatever aesthetic or life philosophy I should by clicking buy it now on the internet on some shiny new thing. Maybe I should be spending my time endlessly crawling through alleys to find some janky poo poo that is ugly as gently caress to save a few bucks instead? Let me know.

You dorks are insufferable.
