I'd love to see their s/t on vinyl one day...what a fantastic album!!! YPOFH: ST I had all 4 colors of the double CD book and gave one to my daughter, so now I have 3. The Red jacket artwork inside is a little different. It is the **perfect** emo album, maybe tie with Athletics: WYAINE 8 tracks, 8 minutes long each, and emo in the best sort of way. I like that their vocals aren't super polished and the cello dude is fantastic. It was their postrock elements on Tiny Town that got me into them. My daughter wanted them to come to the US and play at her graduation party lol, which I emailed them, and they were not in the States. I think they've been on hiatus with marriages/kids and stuff the past 4 years. The 10" is great, I have a spare copy, but getting it to Germany isn't worth it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Listened to "Small Changes..." but it didn't grab me like the s/t....probably the reason I didn't buy it! drds89 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrewest Posted April 29, 2017 Share Posted April 29, 2017 Foo Fighters - Songs From the Laundry Room is probably my favorite sounding 10". It's so loud & crisp. Cloudkicker & Owel tie for my fav overall 10"ers. Don't think I've seen Toe - The Future is Now mentioned unless I'm blind. I also dig the Intheclouds stuff I have (Owel, Vis, Vasudeva).

Close buds to Local H and Fig Dish. Usually under $10 as well. Check out the song Revved Up. This! Great record and band that never got the recognition they deserve. kjkenney 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So good for such a short lived band. Both albums crush the game but i could listen to Broadcaster on repeat for days.

Derek™ Posted May 1, 2017 Share Posted May 1, 2017 I'm with Die Laughing, though. 10"s feel sort of gimmicky to me, and I actually tend to avoid them unless they're the only possible medium. Not only do I personally steer clear of them, but I'm unsure why anyone would want to receive recommendations for them. Are you trying to diversify the portfolio™? The music and content of a record should be the driving force behind picking it up and calling it a piece of your collection – buying something based solely off the variant, rarity, or - in this case, the media's size - just seems trivial.

ethereal Posted May 1, 2017 Share Posted May 1, 2017 wtf is the point of buying records just because of their size? suggesting 10" albums to someone just because they want to buy 10" albums is fucking stupid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stl_ben Posted May 1, 2017 Share Posted May 1, 2017 Anyone have a good recommendation for 13" or 18" records I have a few of both but I need more large awkward to fit on the shelf records. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kjkenney Posted May 1, 2017 Share Posted May 1, 2017 (edited) Bad phrasing i guess. If this thread asked for seven inch recommendations would it be weird? Ten inches used to be the standard size of an LP before 12 inch came to be. Cool history behind it in my opinion. A dead format within a dead format, if you will.

While I realize you're joking, if you seriously have records on this size I want to know what they are. I'm (extremely slowly) building a collection of unusually sized records, just for kicks. kjkenney 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Third Man Records released some "Texas Sized" 13" LPs at SXSW a few years back. 18" records were often used for radio stations for broadcasts. The spun at 16 RPM so that a single side would last a long time (I think like an hour per side). I don't have a turn table that is big enough, but I do have a turntable that plays at 16rpm. daegor 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its actually 16" 33s that were used by the broadcast industry. 16 rpm was very low fidelity and used by a lot by audio book manufacturers, and specifically not the broadcasters due to the low quality. I love the history behind this format. http://www.capsnews.org/apn2010-3.htm daegor 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
