My package from Mylene Sheath came with kitten and puppy stickers on it <3

You should just upload a photo of your set-up.

So you're not going to tell us more about your job?

And awesome!

Holding out for merch table.

This. If you're looking for work in photography/design your portfolio and technical knowledge is going to be more important than your work history. Whether it was under-the-table or not is irrelevant, just say you were doing freelance work for Company X and then list them as a reference (check with them first). (Typically in the creative fields when people list time doing freelance, it reads as "unemployed" unless they can actually show what and for whom they were doing work.)

Is that baby blue the same as the roadburn?

Get a job on your campus. Prob won't pay well but will be flexible and convenient. (I worked at the library when I was in college.)

New collab between members of EW & Cathedral, With the Dead.

Pallbearer melted my face off opening for HoF the other night. Hadn't really given them much thought previously. (take away my membership card)

Fragile Branch is having a clearance sale. Here's some codes: CLEAROUT20 - Grants 20% off all orders over $20 CLEAROUT25 - Grants 25% off all orders over $45 CLEAROUT30 - Grants 30% off all orders over $75 AND still gives free US media mail shipping! If anyone has any recommendations from what's available, it'd be much appreciated. (I'm only familiar with Forn, Leviathan, and a few others.)

Not as stupid as asking how wide.

It's almost as if musical tastes are subjective.

Soooo... Has anyone actually had luck getting a record after getting a "backordered" notice via email?

Can you tell a difference? Might spring for one someday.

That could be it, but I never had this with my previous TT. I typically run an anti-static brush over the record before playing, but maybe the Rega stylus is more sensitive. Will look into this. Thanks.

Curious if anyone else has had this problem... A record will be spinning and everything will be sounding great, and then all of a sudden I'll get an instantaneous and dramatic drop in sound quality – static, noise, volume drop – something is obviously very wrong. However, all I need to do then is lift the tonearm and drop it again, and then things are back to normal. I can go for hours of listening without this happening, and then bam, out of nowhere. Same fix every time, although the length between occurrences can be minutes or hours. The table is a brand new RP1 w/ Rega Bias cart. Bias selector is set to about 1.5 (tough to find definitive info if this is correct). Any ideas?

Easy snag. Thx.

MAKE Discovered these guys via a friend who heard them on NPR. Hits a nice sweet spot between doom and post-metal (with a bit of BM/sludge in the mix). This is like "goosebumps on first listen" type stuff. Really digging it and probably going to PO. https://thebandmake.bandcamp.com

Didn't see the Weedeaters but did snap up Let Us Prey for 14.99: http://www.insound.com/let-us-prey-lp.html

Hoping Atriarch and Call of the Void are obscure enough to survive.

Careful, they're one step away from posting lolzy memes.

Warhorse DLP is at $11.50 at Insound currently. Jump on that.

The shop that is repairing my amp gave me a Proton amp like this for a loaner. Sound is good and it does have a phono stage. It's quite slim – face is probably a little over 2" high. I'm sure you could find one on eBay within your price range.

Amazon used market has some reasonably-priced copies of Sines.
