Funny gif or whatever

I shrinkwrap those really big logs and then frame them.

I went from getting like $1200 to $600 I feel like after a certain age you should get more back for NOT having kids. Like "thanks for not adding to the problem, here's a few hundred bucks"

Wavering Radiant happening in 2016. Ascension, hopefully 2016. Still working on this. Thanks for the Celestial orders!

Just took an up to date photo of my Silverstein collection.

Chaga helped get your Isis records ready for the post office drop off today. More orders mailing out on Friday. Thanks everyone!

I dont like where this thread is heading. Buy whatever you want. As long as it sounds good to your ears it doesnt matter. I bought the picture disc.

My what I believe to be complete Matt Good Collection.

Obvious troll is obvious.

Please don't buy records if you're not going to play them. Leave them to those who will.

They also match my girlfriend's bra/underwear, so we're basically 2 fabulous 2day

Just lock/delete this now please.

for starters, you are going to need a gramophone.

Not the Chinese. Much as they did during the recession with NYC real estate, Hong Kong will stockpile various Mondo variants, limited Record Store Day reissues and clear vinyl copies of Bowie's "Blackstar", filling entire warehouses with anything hipsters were after between 2001-2015.

I don't play my records because I can't afford a decent record player just throwing my dirty secret out there please judge me

I think anything that followed up the 05 albums was gonna get backlash. Those were difficult albums to top. ET had a bunch of little things people thought was wrong with it (Two being too straight forward plus Sheryl Crow, remaking 2 classic tracks and making them sound worse than their Suicide Handbook version, lackluster recordings vs their live counterpart), on top of all that he had just gotten sober, which was after a couple years of audience clashing, and playing either ramshackle or spectacular shows. So his persona was a bit dicey and his fan base was wary. It was a burnout period for everyone TBH. Ultimately I think ET has aged really well. I do think the production on it is pretty bad, but the songs are really great. Cardinalology was really well produced but outside of 2-3 tracks, the songs aren't there. It's a pretty forgettable record IMO.

I keep my sandwhiches sealed. The sandwich heavy portfolio pays off for the hungry investor.

Damn this fucking thread

That guy sucks!

Just found out today I'm going to be a dad! But, I'm not +55. But, I do like jazz. Finding your place in this world is hard...

Ask Baggs

Ross has a business partner who sells rare ETR stuff on eBay. His partner's name is also Ross. They share an eBay account and everything.

An audiophile who shits on other people's tastes and listens to prog, fusion, and jazz? I bet you're just delightful to interact with. Definitely not an insufferable twat. No way you're basically just comic book guy from the simpsons

Imagine how exhausting it must be to be 63 years old and this defensive and humorless 100% of the time.

Thats what I said only couple of years ago. I now buy 10% of what I used to. And its not about economy, its just that record prices have doubled since I started 10 years ago and sooner or later you realise that you can buy pretty much the best digital playback system with that same money (99% of new music is recorded digital anyway and is available to download in high resolution for "free") and only cherry pick the essentials on vinyl.

So the main theme I'm getting here is that record collecting Canadians are really getting screwed.

Making a Murderer: VC Edition

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.

This deserves acknowledgement.

Here's my complete El Ten Eleven discography! Only thing missing are a couple test pressings... Expanded album here: http://imgur.com/a/FrIS0

I take all of my records out of the shrink. I, then, insert them into brand new sleeves before I catalog them in my record cabinet. I have a gripe, here, though. Excuse me for the redundancy, but why should it matter what anyone does with things they purchase with their hard (or not-so-hard) earned money? I owned about 400 records before I even owned a turntable, and do you know why? These records mean something to me. When I got my copy of Jimmy Eat World's "Clarity" in the mail, I opened it and set it down next to me and felt relief. Relief that a piece of art that meant so much to me (and still does) was now mine. It was someone else's once, and I hope they found the same appreciation for it as I do. I own a host of records that I feel a connection to, because I feel a deep connection to the music. That's why I collect. Forget the fact that it's higher fidelity, or that the album art is cool, and that sometimes there are vinyl-only tracks and special releases, and the litany of other reasons that vinyl is a great investment. I invest because I love music. If I choose not to play a record in my collection, why is that a problem? It's really that difficult to wrap your head around the fact that people collect for different reasons? I don't understand why a majority of the users here feel the need to berate and belittle, as if it's a fucking birthright. Fact is, at one point, you had just one post on this board, and either you did or didn't ask a question that was asked one too many times, but when it's met with so much animosity, it drives people away from this community. This community thrives because of the people in it, and I'm sure there are some bad apples on here, but for the most part, why is a new user expected to comb through thousands of posts for an answer to a question when they can just post their inquiry in twenty god damn seconds? It's sort of shitty. I love this place, I love being a part of it, I've found tons of records from people here and I frequent this board every day. It never gets easier to see people being assholes. Again, I guess that's your prerogative, though. P.S. I have a copy of "The Decline" on Clear.

http://www.valverecords.com.au/shop/index.php/cPath/31_37 just found these for all who is interested

So the email said they'd be out by the end of the month, but the MerchNow product page is saying mid-February. And if you add it to your cart, it says "Your order is estimated to ship around 2/26/2016 due to a preordered item". And to make it even better, Chris is selling a test press of it on eBay. Ugh, I just want my order to ship so I can burn that No Sleep bridge and be done with it.

You're a tool.

Not even when the auto tuned vocals tell you to MOVE!?

Dont understand the whining going in here. Yes, it is a little pricey, but the quality is great. On par with his other vinyl releases. I'm sure if this was released as a "limited" press, there would be little to no complaining. It sounds great. Looking forward to avalanche and loser anthems!

I hate when people complain about how people talk

In his defense, this doesn't happen nearly as much as people think. Substantial temp changes will warp a record the same whether sealed or unsealed. In my experience, most sealed records keep pretty well as long as you treat them nicely. But, I get that people want to throw whatever neg vibes they can at people who scored a copy of a record they weren't as fortunate to get.

Hello and good morning pedestrians, I ate a $25 salmon sandwich for lunch. What about you, huh?

Framed this from the secret Coldplay shows that took place last November in Los Angeles. This was the print they had for Night 1.

PM'd!!!

small venue = Terminal 5? (capacity = 3000 people)

File a PayPal claim there is no need to hire dog the bounty hunter to track him down. If you called his land Landu and traced his phone number you need to move on.

I took photos of all of my NOFX awhile back. Here is everything I have besides the 7 inch of the month club and several doubles.
