Put it in a bag of rice.

Damn, I really want to mock you and be unhelpful, but isopropyl alcohol should do the trick. I'd try that before risking a magic eraser. If I get a second wind, I'll come back with some sarcastic comments.

I have a survey too guys! Please fill it out, it's for my graduate school study of grailzology with a minor in vinylz. https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/5NJ8ZN6

Was it Jesse Lacey?

Man, that guy is a dumbass for signing the grooves. I couldn't imagine someone being so ignorant to do that. ...so, who was it?

If he signed the actual record that way I would have just left it like that. Also nice avatar, I just beat Mega Man 2 today.

This happened to me. I preordered the MM reissues from SRC. Then I canceled my order after I found cheaper deals elsewhere. After I canceled I realized they only give store credit (first time ordering from SRC). I ended up buying 3 other LPs with the credit. Almost took SRC 2 months to ship out those 3 titles. Each title I ordered was somehow on backorder for like 2 or 3 weeks. When they got 1 title in, another went on backorder. Then they claimed they shipped them on Sept 27th (which was a lie), and they finally arrived Oct. 20th. Had to file a Paypal claim. Avoid SRC at all costs.

Well. I received my SS package yesterday and I have absolutely NO self control. So... It was opened immediately. Whoever you are, oh my lawd. You made my year. Seriously. How did you know to get THESE records out of my massive want list ..? I will never know but I am so thankful because they were literally the top priority records to get. And to get color variants of every single ONE!? I might have cried a little. You are so kind and you have no idea how happy you made me. Not to mention, I think we are wrapping twins. I love kraft brown paper for wrapping and your hand stamped paper was the cutest thing I have ever seen. And your little Christmas berry on top? You better believe I am saving all of that like a hoarder. Basically you're the best. BUT. You left me with ZERO clues!? How am I supposed to guess?? I literally have no idea, but forgive me men if you are crafty, I am going to guess it was a girl because of the wrapping love. DANIONLY IS IT YOU!? I will update if for any reason I come up with some sort of revelation of who it might be, but for now I am sticking with Dani. Thank you a million. You are the sweetest. Thank you thank you! <3

just cancel your order for some amazing store credit. you can get the dumb and dumber soundtrack.

Good luck with that loser, I'm getting my degree in women's studies with a minor in 18th century afro-cuban literature.

Howdy ya'll. I'm looking to buy ONE of the following records, but I really would rather not spend more than $20 (including shipping) so if you're trying to get a king's ransom for one of them...it won't be from me. Here's what I'm looking for. The italicized records are the ones I'd be most interested in: Issues - Issues (would like to have the gold/yellow variant, but it doesn't really matter too much to me) Hawthorne Heights - The Silence In Black And White Silverstein - Discovering The Waterfront Bayside - Cult (preferably black with pink splatter) Bayside - self-titled Dance Gavin Dance - Happiness Dance Gavin Dance - Dance Gavin Dance Saosin - Saosin Continents - Idle Hands Leave your offers below! I will pay using Paypal, just for the record. Thank you! -moshlyfe

The Conjuring is just the tits.

This doesn't work. Don't listen to him.

Not sure if OP is trolling or not...

BUBLE IS THE SINATRA OF OUR GENERATION! Idk why I'm yelling. Haha

Is it a special edition?

They finally have a date up on their facebook! It will be up this Friday 11/14!

haha, let me rephrase that. I'd be more excited about a FANSD repress, but I'm glad these are getting pressed for everyone else"

To anyone who might think I am being mean, brash, an asshole, whatever, I apologize. If you take something as an attack, please know 99% of everything I say is me joking. I know sometimes things via just text are hard to read how they are implied, and with what tone. Just know I'm a sarcastic dude. It's just who I am. I poke fun and joke a lot. A LOT. It's just who I am. I don't want anyone on here thinking I'm attacking someone or being an asshole. I mean, I am an asshole, but harmless. After all, this is essentially a chat room about records. I like all you guys, and don't want anyone thinking I'm here to hurt any feelings or what have you. Like I said, that's just my humor. Take it all with a grain of salt and know I'm joking. If was trying to be a dick, you would know it. At the end of the day we all do our own thing. We are our own person. We have our own personalty, our own style. We are all here for the same thing, to talk about records, tacos, and random bullshit (at least in this thread). Some of you here are die hard record collectors and live for music like me. Some of you buy records here and there and just live in this thread. Some of you are just getting into records. Some of you have been on this site for a long time. Some of you I'm closer with than others. Whatever the case may be, at the end of the day, all of you are awesome, I'm a sarcastic dick (and ok with it), and we all love records/music, and tacos. In summation:

Then there's the rumored tests that were found for Inception and Aliens.

I returned 2 because of skipping just like the reviewers said. Bad luck I guess.

There's seriously zero reason to do what you did lol

Would Travis be able to secure rights for Hooray For Boobies by Bloodhound Gang pressed on fleshy-booby color?

Of all the ~$100 turntable options it is probably the least of the evils. That being said, there is nothing about it that will contribute to decent sound quality. Plastic plinth/tonearm, no counterweight to set vertical tracking force, cheap cartridge/stylus and lack of interchangeability to name a few things. Some people argue that these factors will also contribute to and damage records over multiple playback sessions as well...The way I look at it, think about how much money you have spent or will be spending on records relative to how much you're willing to spend on audio equipment. To me, it doesn't make sense to limit your turntable budget to the absolute cheapest options only to turn around and drop $100 on the latest few preorders from the main page. Take a little longer, save a little bit more, and buy something you aren't going to want to replace in less than a year.

Congrats!

I think posts from Juan on this subject count as "official."

I have been rocking out to 1989 heavy every day. And I don't think in the near future I can go back... Not even to fearless... Until I run 1989 into the ground.

As many of us surely here, I've been listening to 1989 a lot lately, so much so that when the Beautiful Eyes EP came on the iPod shuffle today, it felt like a completely different artist.

It was excellent!, they played about 3/4ths of the new record, I'de post a set list, but I wouldn't want to spoil it for you or others. The opener was "absolutely" great though.

Hold up wait a minute, put a little vinyl in it.

definitely dicky on Fat Mike's part.. push the guy/get him off you.. fine. kicking him in the face as he is on the ground is 100% unacceptable. I am a NOFX fan, 10 years ago I was all about the way Fat Mike acts, thought it was entertaining and funny. Not so much as I have gotten older. Dude gets away with a lot more than he should. I see everything that was done at the second show as more of a PR move, not just Fat Mike actually feeling bad.. but who knows.

I'm over the different color thing. I ordered cola, got 'shit' as everyones calling it instead. I was just happy to finally own it because it's so damn good, BUT my side 2 is ridiculously bad as far as surface noise, hisses and pops goes. I thought maybe it just needed a good cleaning, so that's what I did. I even played it on my other Turntable after cleaning it thinking maybe the needle was going bad on the first one. I've seen other people complaining about the same issue, just wondering if it runs the different variants or is it just the 'shit' color?

Hey Travis think you could come over and cut my grass

Yeah, wonder if they will even put a statement out about what went wrong. I got lucky and received the transparent Cola but its really lame that people are getting the "shitbrown" at random. As mentioned before, this record is really flimsy. I really like Topshelf. They always did a killer job for these guys and everyone else. I guess I've just been spoiled by them.

A few months ago I adopted a dog who went by the name "Fred Astaire" at the shelter. We now refer to him as Gus. His front legs are wonky due to poor breeding, but we love him just the same.

New Lubomyr Melnyk EP up for PO on Erased Tapes, not his continuous piano style, much more subdued but very beautiful https://soundcloud.com/erasedtapes/lubomyr-melnyk-evertina

tour variant

have you tried turning it off and on?

This is totally inappropriate

...and your assignment for this week is to write a paper on vinylz. Make sure to include results from survey monkey on how much people love vinylz.

No treble.

It's all about gramophone and vinyl's!

It's up there with those surveys you do in middle school where they ask if you do meth 4 times a week.

This is one of the worst surveys I've ever seen.

Got #93

shut up you don't know me
