According to her birth certificate her name is Thomas James Gabel.

Because I like being poor.

"Why'd do you leave the keys upon the table?" YOU WANTED TO. "Why'd you buy the vinyl and the CDs?" YOU WANTED TO.

Not bad not bad.... My wife buys me vinyl in exchange for foot massages. Don't worry you'll get there

Break up with her now. Her usefulness has run its course

Every time I see this thread bumped...

I didn't make these, but I love them.

They should do Whole Foods exclusive variants.

How on earth are either of those conflicts tough? Two of those bands are young and tour all the time, and two of them are Paint It Black and Dillinger Four.

Not necessarily. The mastering can differ on each format, even if it's recorded digitally (Purity Ring's Shrines is a recent example). In addition, they can master in the digital domain different for each format. Case in point, Random Access Memories was recorded all analog, then transferred to digital hi-res files for mastering, then mastered to each format. That's why the vinyl sounds different than the CD or hi-res download. But I'd agree with your general point, if it's the same mastering then the CD will sound better without the vinyl format's colorations. It doesn't mean that one can't buy vinyl for sound quality in 2013, specifically people who have invested a lot more money into their vinyl rig than their DAC.

IDK MY BFF JILL?

I like lamp.

hey seriously though has anyone heard of Feedbands

This thread http://boards.vinylcollective.com/topic/92811-how-many-of-us-on-here-are-failed-musicians/ got me thinking i want to hear all your old bands. Not your new good bands. I was actually quite fond of this band i was in A Skyline Fracture, here's one of our first songs and the only one i can find on youtube. The video was a video project for a classmate while i was in art school. Figure out which one is me

Reminds me of "Who wants to blow a guy and then go to Ikea with him all day?"

Picked up Beastie Boys Hello Nasty 2xLP. And yeah like PunkGuy said really nice dudes. I think they may have put up a pic of me and my wife somewhere.

Because it wasn't an eBay offer duh!

Smaller chairs was an EP prior to Theory, their debut full length

Got this beauty in the mail today! And found this in the used section of the record store! Sub variant /100 for $27!!!

in other words, thanks for nothing!!

And 8th in the 4th. Fuck why did I not go to this game like I planned? I dont care if hes on the opposing team, I have no hate towards the Tigers and can appreciate a gem of a game when I see one.

Pro tank 2 came in , filled it with cherry limeade 50/50 24 mg, life's good

It's probably ok to be a shower not a grower when you max out at 12 inches...

Fuck this bird bitch drink this bleach.

i was reading about him. you know how clicking things on the internet goes.

Texas, consider yourself messed with.

Wait a sec: People actually prefer Pepsi to Coke? Wow.

I always hope this too.

This is wrong as well Questhate pretty much nailed it. It's impossible to generalize, there are so many factors that influence the end result that practically every release is unique in that regard. A digitally recorded song can sound better on vinyl than on CD. An analog recording can sound better on CD than on vinyl. And vice versa on both. But strictly theoretically speaking, If you have a recording that was done digitally every step until the actual master cut, vinyl cannot do a better job, because it will introduce it's own inherent problems/drawbacks that digital reproduction doesn't have. Also, speaking in terms of budget, the best digital recording will most likely sound better through a $1k DAC than the best analog pressing through a $1k table/arm/cart/phono combo. Analog has the potential to reach heights currently unreachable by digital, but at a premium. At the end of the day, it's always a gamble. I got into vinyl because I found it very interesting, very tangible, much more than CDs. I always had a fetish for the visual aspect, the art and the packaging of the stuff I like, and vinyl was perfect in that regard. After a while I started to hate vinyl, because most of my records sounded worse than mp3s of the same albums, even though I invested much more into the analog rig than the digital. Then I realized that it's not the format at fault, but the people behind those recordings. That's how I learned that buying a vinyl record isn't always the best option, but it can be. I also never really liked the playback imperfections, and for a while I was sure that I will not be able to get over this. I did, partly. Lately I realized that there is one big advantage, and the reason that I'll continue to buy vinyl. It gives me an option, a choice. I can always decide how I want to listen to my albums. I can choose between both experiences and go for the one that suits me best at that particular moment. The majority of vinyl releases include a digital version as well, so I can even choose between the two legally. So having the ability to experience my favorite recordings in two very different, very distinct ways is reason enough.

I've found myself thinking about how much people hate Skyler, and how weird that is. Tonight I saw this: http://www.nytimes.com/2013/08/24/opinion/i-have-a-character-issue.html And I think it's really fucked up that people can't wrap their minds around the idea that Anna Gunn is a person playing a character. A character written by the same people who write the other characters that they like.

That $55 LP deal is hard to beat is great. I'd recommend making that Adebisi Shank album one of the 5, really fun instrumental band.

I am!

gonna plug Bass Communion. One of Steven Wilson (of Porcupine Tree)'s solo projects where he releases his ambient/drone material. this one is my current favourite, and PT fans will recognise it from Lips of Ashes: 43553E99.01 second favourite sounds like it could be ambient noise in an Elder Scrolls game: Glacial 1602 Drugged (long version) Loss I generally prefer the ones that have some sort of melody going on, the drone stuff isn't as interesting for me. some drone-y tracks include Pacific Codex, Corrosive 1702, Citadel and Ghosts on Magnetic Tape. the former style is mostly present on Bass Communion I, II and III, and the newer drone-oriented albums feature the occasional nice track

Wahh there's more places to get records in person I don't want everyone else to get into this hobby! It's not like its K-Mart or 7-11, who cares

Resale value, why else?

Do you REALLY love the lamp, or are you just saying it because you saw it?

Glad to see media mail is back, this and Chelsea Wolfe will be ordered shortly.

Come on, don't let one monkey (or a venue full of them) ruin the show. What kind of shows you guys going to? Be the catalyst. Never be too shy to be the one to break open the pit. There are times no one will join in & you look like the asshole, sure. But never forget-you're awesome, they're the boring & the weak. At least you tried. Besides, the times that everyone jumps in with you & the fuse is lit to a fucking bomb trump those times no one is willing to have fun. Be the catalyst!! On your last sentence, join us at some of the shows the roof of the venue is being torn off, you may change your tune. I ordered another copy from 3rd party goHastings on Amazon, I'll let you guys know what color it is, though I'm assuming clear. Have there been any reports of black copies anywhere??

Hopefully next to the craft beer so when my girlfriend drags me shopping I can browse both simultaneously.

Thanks for the heads up on the blue. Just ordered a copy of it. Fuuuuuck the shipping charges from SC.

This has to be the most pretentious high school statement I think I've ever read. Congratulations.

Love the fit of this new Blink 182 - TOYPAJ vinyl band tee.

Just wait till next week when i get my new mod. its a mod and a piece of art in one. most people here will find it pretty interesting even if it's a e cig mod.

He used sauls disappearing guy

how do you not have this album? sacrilege!

$130 includes postage in the US. Outside the US the price listed is $10 off actual shipping costs so it's essentially $120 + shipping. I listed 15 countries shipping so far, if your country isn't listed send us a message and I'll add it, that way you can pay for everything at once. I used the countries we sent the Lillingtons box set to as a guide but I'm sure that there will be TBR fans in countries I missed. (debe not todd)

I guess if you don't plan on shipping anything you can set prices at whatever you want.

I feel like the surface noise is being exaggerated, quite a bit. It's not unlistenable by any means. Typical GITD record fuzz, nothing grossly offensive. V - ? A - 6
