Calling his landlord about him makes you come off like an actual insane person, dude. I'd have told you the same thing she said even if he still lived there so you didn't show up and murder him in the house I owned.

Technically there is nothing wrong with Crosleys Actually that's not remotely true, as this isn't the same as getting the off-brand Cheerios rather than the real ones. Crosleys are built poorly and work antithetical to the basic properties of how music is played from vinyl, namely the lack of a counterweight. As a result, there is too much weight on the records, and runs the risk of ruining them with multiple plays. Collecting vinyl in itself is expensive, and on top of it, you need to think about the purpose of wanting to collect/play vinyl. Some folks like vinyl because it's a a physical specimen in an era where CDs no longer do the trick. But many folks here collect vinyl because with the right setup, vinyl sounds superior to CDs or digital music. However, to get there, it costs a lot of money. Unlike most pieces of technology these days (laptops, phones, music players, etc.), a turntable with most of the basic functions needed to not destroy records, plus provide adequate sound quality, will cost at least $200, if not much more than that. Where Crosley gets you is that they, as well as couple of other brands, have put together much cheaper parts to get to an attractive price point (namely, $100 or so). Again, if you're not thinking of keeping your records in pristine condition, and collecting vinyl is an opportunity to support bands, then the Crosley will do. Some folks won't admit it, but some of them started with Crosleys as well. It may also allow you to find some decent dollar bin records and expand your musical horizon. But if this is a hobby you feel you want to stick to, be on the look out at garage sales, Goodwills, etc. for vintage turntables. Google them as you find them to see where they stack up as far as quality. Read the beginner's guide in this forum. It's at least a start. Sorry for the long diatribe. I feel like it's easy to point out your naivete, but every now and then one of us should just give you a clear answer so you're not quite so lost...

So glad these albums will finally be available on vinyl

I still fucking hate that work, cop, when describing buying something. I don't know why, but it bothers the fuck out of me.

I wanna listen to shit on shit while I shit

we will need to band together and hope our trust funds and low estate taxes help us keep the hobby alive. i don't even want to think about what the recession will do to the value of my vinyl portfolio.

I'm a multi- multi- multi-millionaire and keep most of my money in cash, in a secret vault, which lies deep beneath my secluded compound, adjacent to my arsenal of advanced weaponry. I will always have enough money to buy all the records I want.

I only can find pink lips, do you like those?

*Doig

That sounds like the most annoying way to listen to an LP ever.

If your turntable doesn't transform into a suitcase you are doing it wrong.

What you should really be worried about is the effect vinyl has on global warming.

You're asking a lot from a store manager, who probably listens to nothing buy complaints all day. Nothing would have been done most likely.

As a Canadian, with our weak dollar, my buying habits have definitely changed. USPS rates have gone up as well. A $20 record in the States is over $40 in Canada now with shipping and foreign exchange. As few records are made in Canada, everything is imported. Distributors are paying 30% more, stores are then paying 30% more and ultimately the customer, with the same margins applied throughout. As the new prices roll out, I imagine there will be quite the sticker shock for a lot of people, and not many people are going to be able to continue to afford it. In Toronto the record store market is saturated and if the dollar stays around 65 to 70 cents for 3-5 years, I imagine a lot of them will have to close up shop. They all opened when the dollar was strong and records were back, people were loading up on all the stuff they missed. As new stuff comes out, it's going to be tough for them to maintain their sales levels. And when they close, I'm hoping I can pick up some things at their clearance sales.

I never knew that the EOTS nurse was the lead singer of the Descendents.

Fuck this dumb label into oblivion forever, over and over.

All finished!!! Based off my Scottish family crest for "Anderson". Anderson family tree is an Oak Tree and the anderson family motto is "Stand Sure".

Still wish someone would make a box for the blink splatter series.

ok. i get the hint on panic at the disco. just please, please , please tell me it involves a fever you cant sweat out......please

Also this..

Logic shmogic No one can properly refute this because what everyone is actually trying to say is: "I'm upset because it won't sound EXACTLY like RoC. The band members evolved and I didn't."

The pessimism is ridiculous. The reasons the 2012 or 13 shows didn't work, 1. Omar lost his mother. 2. There was some bad blood still 3. they did it for the money. They didn't even do a tour out of Texas, that's how failed that reunion was. No one asked them to do this, no one paid for this. Cedric and Omar had a fight but then reunited as newer version of Mars Volta as Antemasque and that sounded better than the last couple of Mars Volta albums. I feeling that they're renengerized, not forcing anything and having fun and that's why this album/tour will be fun.

I completely forgot to post my second video until Lauren texted me earlier--here's the rest of my stuff! I know I said it in the video, but forgive me for being tired in the second half. Hopefully not to late to say thanks, so...thank you so much to all the people who were part of this, it means so much to me. Best Christmas ever.

Well his Doug record sold out of multiple pressings as did the Nicktoons. So yeah, despite the 10 people in this threading hating it with a vengeance, ETR records often sell pretty good.

No, but I wanted to play it so I did, and now nothing else is grabbing my attention. Why do you care?

Just to add more fun to this, he will also be selling "Special rejected test pressings," of which there are 48 (FORTY EIGHT).

Here's the Hot Topic exclusive. It will be up for sale online tomorrow and is in transit to select stores now

People who don't realize they are "covers" that also don't put records on turntables will probably buy them. So for whatever reason, he couldn't get the licensing for the original songs, but he is able to use the artwork, logo, and even call the "tribute band" Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles?

shut up, you want to buy an onkyo you don't get a say in this

ive had enough with you today ahole. good lord.

Once the 2500-3000 run out, that's it for this pressing. They might decide to repress it down the road (on coloured vinyl or something) like they usually do. But once the 3000 copies sell it won't be readily available until they decide to repress.

Yes. Yes, you are.

I do not believe Tyler would start things up again if he didn't plan on taking it seriously. RFC messed up a lot, and we were given a second chance after getting our shit together and I am thankful for that. I think Tyler deserves the same benefit.

Is the economy why offers are so low on VC?

Of course 3, how else would I be able to listen to my sweet records in my TV room, bathroom and bedroom?

Perfect timing after SRC announced represses yesterday....

You really are the gift that just keeps on giving, aren't you?

WORLD TOUR. NEW MUSIC. 2016. www.atthedriveinmusic.com

We'll just have to start stealing.

He signed it "Badly Drawn Boy." That's hilarious.

If I wasn't poor I'd say let's pool our money and license Hot Damn! ourselves haha.

SRC already pressed like 10,000 copies of TOYPAJ over the last 3 years.

I'v been looking for Hot Damn!. When will Hot Topic start carrying that record?

Making a Murderer: VC Edition

Just ordered Enema. Gonna go put my preorder for sale on eBay for 69.69 starting bid. See ya guys l8r

Also of note these are nearly $16 each. For a 7". Of cover songs. From Ninja Turtles.

*insert unwarranted hate towards SRC, even though they continually do a great job with their releases* Give it up, guys.
