I want that Zappa thing a lot. Congrats, man. I'm also trying to get my hands on most of his original albums. Especially since he remixed all the CDs and stuff.

But, hey, vinyl thread. Are those record cleaner systems worth it? I've got some spare cash and I'm thinking of getting one. I was thinking of getting this one: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B002UKSZUU/ref=wl_it_dp_o_pd_S_ttl?_encoding=UTF8&colid=3HFMTARFWTF4M&coliid=I1FKNXG96GIO9M since i've seen it recommended before. But is there another option? Possibly one that doesn't cost me a dozen records?

That looks to be the plan. Those DIY solutions are cool, but I don't really have any of the tools to make something like that right now.

That 750 american dollar vacuum cleaner thing existing makes me upset.

I'm in Dallas for a few weeks visiting my parents over the holiday break, and since they've just moved here, I decided to check out some of the local shops. The first one I went to was Josey Records off I-35, and I was not disappointed. They have a really large selection of used rock, soul, funk, etc, but what I was really impressed by is their classical stuff. I ended up spending most of my time (and money) in that section of the store, with the exception of finding Duke by Genesis and In Our Lifetime by Marvin Gaye. Here's some of what I bought today:

Hit up the half price books in richardson. A couple months back they got like 300 classical records and I think I'm the only one thats ever bought them. They were 1 to 3 bucks, in real good condition and with outer sleeves on.

I snagged Yoshimi Battles The Pink Robots from that gohastings sale and when I opened it up the record itself was inside a generic white sleeve along with the empty printed one.

I've never seen this in any of the handful of new records I've got, is this something that happens or was there some weird mixup?

Baroness did this with Purple too. Seems like it might protect the graphic sleeve during transit?

This is probably the most irritating record I've heard of. "The vinyl is unique in the way it is played. "Jim Fear" begins like a normal 7" but ends on a locked groove in the middle of the vinyl. "Destro's Secret" plays from the inside out and ends in the locked groove in the middle of the vinyl. "Sandbox Magician" begins like a normal 7", however "The Mullet Burden" begins slightly after the starting point for "Sandbox Magician". The EP comes with a sheet explaining the procedure required to listen to all of the tracks."

Because after they fired Kevin Rutmanis, Buzz and Dale decided to just use guests. Hence using Trevor Dunn on Freak Puke, JD Pinkus on Hold it In, and that dude from Redd Kross on 3 Men and A Baby. I think Basses Loaded is different bassists on different tracks rather than multiple bassists on individual tracks, though

For some reason I was thinking it was on individual tracks. Either way I'm hype for it.

Ok so I'm confused. A few pages back there was a link to Constellation's website with GY!BE's f#A#∞ reissue that had "1997-1998" debossed next to the album name. Is that how all reissues are? And if so, why is mine different?

I just checked my copy (same reissue) and it doesnt have that year emboss either. :shrug:

Yes. Although EDF's been playing with them sine the '80s and Nolan Cook's been on board since Wormwood. OH! Plus they brought back Carla Fabrizzio for the new single and that's loving great! It's kind of like how the "new guys" in Kraftwerk have been around since the '80s.

Oh that's cool and close enough to original imo. I wonder sometimes if they'll ever break down the 4th wall and write a book or make a movie about their career without all the pretense.

It looks like Gorillaz Demon Days is going to be album of the month for April. I've never subscribed before, but $23 seems like a better deal than some of the crazy prices on original copies or bootlegs.

I always just assumed this was still in print. Wonder why they let it drop off but kept the first album and Plastic Beach going.
