i have some beanie babies ill trade you...

Thought it was about time I posted pictures of my man-cave in here, especially after drooling over everyone else's pictures for so long! A bit of a small space, and a few things are a work in progress...

i would definitely buy records from this gentleman.

Why would it matter who you buy records from? I'd buy a rare record from a genetically altered peanut, if it was limited to 100. The record that is.

Would you take $5.00?

I got this in the mail earlier this week. Think some of you might enjoy it. http://aloneband.bandcamp.com/album/alone-2

After years of passionate cries and heartfelt pleas for a Discogs app, there is great news to share: We are releasing the official iOS Discogs App next week! Excited? So are we! The iOS App will be available for free in the App Store on Monday, February 29! If you are on Android, you can sign up to be an Android Beta tester on our App page. https://blog.discogs.com/finally-official-discogs-app/?utm_source=social&utm_medium=facebook&utm_campaign=News_2016_02_26

On Interpunk's website... "Finally on Vinyl! BIG D AND THE KIDS TABLE is one of the few bands truly holding down the fort for wide-eyed, frenzied ska-punk, but are definitely NOT just another ska band. Incorporating the finest elements of dub/reggae, hardcore/punk and gangster/rap, Big D’s essential album, How It Goes, proves that ska can still be totally friggen awesome even if its dead. With 20 tracks clocking in at over 80 minutes, this has gone down in history as one of the best ska/punk records ever." http://www.interpunk.com/item.cfm?Item=232926& Kinda expensive but I've been waiting for this for a long time... PO is live now and shipping will be on April.

Ah, gotcha. I'm guessing I let my wallet decide on this one

Damn. By the time they officially announce these are available, they'll be sold out haha

I've been a beta tester for the iOS for awhile now, and I have to say, the app is petty rad. I used milk crate before this, but the official app is by far the better of the two.

My bad. I was of the school of thought that $25 for a single LP and $7 shipping was entirely unacceptable. Carry on, moneybag VC!

I had my eye on that one, so I'm glad that we didn't battle it out!

Yeah, the record store representative. Take the offer.

God I wish I could hear any Pinback album again for the first time. Especially BSL and Summer in Abaddon.

Looks like it's going to be an RSD release. https://twitter.com/rob5d4/status/704094069069197312

yet you can still add over 100 to the cart on the webstore...hmm...classic src marketing tactics?

Let me know when this thread turns into "Everyone Rank Your Favorite Converge Albums for 5 Pages"

I know, right? I thought you would have jumped ship to the TMZ comment section a long time ago.

Got mine. The record itself looks amazing (navy w/ black splatter), but my jacket came with a pretty significant seam split right along the spine. I just contacted them about a replacement so hopefully they can hook me up.

Maintenance - Honestly, there's not a grand mystery behind maintaining weight loss. Being more fit and healthy is a lifetime commitment. Sure, there's some people walking around that look great and don't have to do a thing but most people you see that are in shape work hard at maintaining their appearance because they commit time and effort to continuously eating healthy and participating in adequate exercise. By the time you're at your goal weight, you're going to know what type of exercise you enjoy and what your body responds best to - and you need to continue to do those things. Otherwise, you're going to forever start and stop diets and exercising. You don't want to do this for a variety of reasons. Your endurance will atrophy and you'll have to start all over again. Also, this doesn't mean you have to live your life on a diet. It means understanding moderation in regard to food. Cut out your daily consumption of empty calories - sugary soft drinks, alcohol, excessive snacking, etc. Be sensible about food - pizza every night isn't going to work. Here's the other thing - if you integrate both cardio and weightlifting into your daily routine, your body's metabolism is going to always be burning at a higher rate. Moreover, if you build muscle your body is going to use the food you give it as a fuel as oppose to storing it as energy (ie. fat). So, the better shape you're in, the more you're going to burn even when you're just sitting around. Ever see those pictures of The Rock sitting in front of a stack of 12 blueberry pankcakes or Michael Phelps downing an entire pizza to himself? Now you know why. Lifestyle changes - Honestly, the first thing I did is I figured out WHY I wanted to lose weight which has nothing to do with the actual act of doing it. A lot of people do it for all the wrong reasons (to get laid, fear of being made fun of/stared at, etc.). For me, it was purely for my health. I was 15 yrs old, weighed 275lbs and I was the only kid in class that couldn't run a lap in PE without feeling like I was going to die. I didn't care that I was the only kid that couldn't do it but it scared me that I might be someone that has diabetes at 30 or die of a heart attack at 40. You have to want it for yourself and if you can't say that, you need to find that reason first. Otherwise, the changes will never stick and your commitment to it won't last. Within the first few weeks of making changes, I had committed time to working out and I made changes in my diet. If you can sit in front of a TV for a half an hour, you can get 30 minutes of cardio in easy. You have to learn to make yourself a priority. A lot of people that are stressed or have a lot of responsibility struggle with this but its not about neglecting other priorities in life, its about making sure you're giving yourself equal opportunity. Sans a health condition that prevents you from being active, there really is no excuse for anyone to not exercise. Some of the other lifestyle changes are noted above. By the way, if you're stressed out all the time or your body feels constantly stressed - you're gonna feel like a million bucks in about a month. Think your current energy level is too low to workout daily? Wrong. Once you get up and move around and settle into a routine, you're going to have far more energy than you do now. How serious - I was serious but realistic. Sure, you can try to run 45 minutes on your first workout but its gonna be really fucking hard and probably pretty discouraging (also, you don't really need to run that much). My first workout? I walked 5 minutes on a treadmill. I changed my diet almost instantly and went hard with that. That's difficult for some people and if you need to taper off certain foods, I suppose you can. After about a week though of cutting out unhealthy foods (especially those high in sugar), it'll be a lot easier. As thebiglebowski noted above, your diet is key. I changed what I ate at every meal and cut out the empty calories. Every week I would build on what I did the previous week in terms of exercise. Once I started to see changes in my body, I never looked back. I got interested in weightlifting within a few weeks - and again, I started small and built on that. Routine - Keep in mind that what works for one person doesn't always work for someone else. I believe in a combination of cardio and strength training though. I choose to generally eat a low carb diet (but I don't cut them out completely). I run for 30 minutes 4-5 times a week and do some kind of strength training 3-4 times a week. For me, running is what really put me into the best shape of my life. This is coming from someone who was terrible at running and was convinced I'd never be good at it. Now, I could run for an hour straight daily if I wanted (but I don't - its too hard on my body). Here's how I built myself up to that though: Week 1/2: Jogged 3 minutes, walked 3 minutes, repeat x 3 = 18 minutes total Week 3/4: Jogged 4 minutes, walked 2 minutes, repeat x 4 = 24 minutes total Week 5/6: Jogged 5 minutes, walked 1 minute, repeat x 5 = 30 minutes total You see the pattern here though. This also illustrates my point about being realistic about your fitness goals. Listen to your body. Eventually, you won't even have to jog/walk. You'll just run by cutting out the walk intervals - but when that point comes will be different with everybody. WIth strength training - I choose to train by muscle group. One day is biceps, one day is shoulders/back, one day is chest and triceps. Now, I'm at a point in my life where I don't at all care about bulky and I don't both much with leg workouts. Cardio is enough of a workout for my legs and I just prefer to be thin / toned - so my strength training is focused on low weight and high reps (you would want high weight / low reps if you're interested in building noticeable muscle with an appropriate diet). Staple foods in my diet: eggs, oatmeal, turkey, chicken, vegetables, low-sugar yogurt, cottage cheese, nuts (for snacking - we all crave a snack every now and then), water, tea, coffee (very light on creamer, no sugar). i do like fruit but don't eat a ton of it. oh, and peanut butter. i really can't live without my peanut butter (but be careful). if you have a sweet tooth though - a spoonful of sunflower butter is a nice little trick to curb it. Foods I stay away from daily: high carb snacks (potato chips, crackers, etc.), sugary soft drinks (sodas, juices, etc.), high-calorie condiments - syrups, dressing, mayonnaise, etc. and alcohol (dont get me wrong, I love to have a drink but if you wanna get serious about losing weight you can't be comin' home after work and downing a couple beers every night) And if you do wanna have a drink - get into drinking scotch or whiskey neat (pretty sure this makes you a lot more manly too). Stay away from mixed drinks. Couple other pointers: Stay off the fuckin' scale. I know this sounds crazy but some people are serious slaves to their scale and they freak out when it says they've gained a pound even though they're busting their ass every day. I pretty much never weigh myself. Its important to know that your body weight fluctuates by about 2lbs daily. I always go by how my clothes feel. Also, try not to eat anything about 4 hrs prior to going to bed. Midnight snack before bed? Sorry, but its gotta go. Learn to look at the nutrition facts / serving sizes on the foods you buy. I try to eat most of my carbs early in the day (breakfast or lunch) to give my body time to burn them off throughout the day. Plus, I prefer to workout at night after I've gotten off work. Last but not least, you don't need a fancy gym membership to get in a good workout. If you're neighborhood is safe to run in do it. Go to a park. You can literally walk into your local walmart and buy a pull up bar that fits into a door frame and some free weights for not a lot of money (free weights like dumbbells are actually better, by the way, as it forces your muscles to learn how to stabilize the weight on their own). Good luck!

I'm 130. If anything I need to gain weight. Haha. Great idea though.

everyone should pick up a copy of this record. patrick's a great guy. the tunes are fucking killer...awesome loud as fuck punky hardcore screamy good time jams. and fucking gorgeous vinyl at a great price. no brainer really. bought mine this morning ^^^sexy AF

Some of you guys may remember me here. My band just released our debut album and we have approx 15 copies of the limited /50 mixed color vinyl leftover from our album release. I put the copies up in my webstore, I imagine they won't last that long. You can listen to it here: http://dogseyes.bandcamp.com Our local weekly magazine described us as "A scathing hybrid of hardcore, sludge, and post-punk weirdness, the band sounds like the venomous offspring of Young Widows and Nails" Buy it here: http://abominable.storenvy.com When the color sells out you can buy the black version here: http://headfirstrecords.limitedrun.com

I missed that, going to grab it now. I love JKB's work, but Final always slips by me for some reason.

Are you using the Canadian SRC site? Single LP shipped says $6.77 to southern Ontario versus $15.50 on the US site.

I know that wasn't directed at me but gonna give my 2 cents. It's 80% what you eat. If you are 30+ pounds overweight, you don't even need to work out. It's far more important to focus on a healthy diet. You also run the risk if you go to the gym and sweat it out for 2 hours of coming home and throwing it away with unhealthy eating because your body is exhausted and craves nutrition. Half hour of light cardio is all you need for weight loss. No drinking calories (pop, juice, alcohol, etc). If you like brewing, take a month or two off. Be the DD. Keep a food log. Plan your meals, weigh them, and stick to the plan. It really helps to prevent opening a bag of trail mix, thinking you are going to eat a handful, and finishing half the bag. Eat a diet that is heavily based on fruits and vegetables. A little olive oil won't kill you but don't be dunking things in ranch and frying them. Those are all pretty basic things.

And yet you're asking $400, originally $600........

I will give you one used shoe for one of those rare and elusive Dean Martin records. If you have any Chuck Mangione, I will give you a matching lightly worn sock to compliment the shoe. Hey, it's more than Salvation Army will end up giving you. Seriously though, can we see some of those ebay listings you were looking at?

site:boards.vinylcollective.com shitty albums in your search bar should do it Am I snarky comments-ing right?

Medium Rare on the inside. Get the iron really hot and char it, then throw it in the broiler to finish super quick. Only goes in there for a few minutes. Coated in sea salt and fresh pepper. Butter and blood. Good every time.

Wait since when has it been customary for the seller to make the PM? If you want to buy it, you should make the inquiry, no?

That's only $27 per disc. Not a bad deal at all!

That's what I've been waiting for. Your LTJ collection is amazing.

I always love allenh's use of opinion as fact. So classic hi-fi. ;-) In short--the Linn LP12 is NOT inferior. But we all have our opinions!

I'm pretty certain they said they will. Or that Data Discs said something on Twitter about it

You choose to live in Brooklyn---why is this a surprise?

I think you're severely underestimating the worth of your collection. Have you contacted the Smithsonian? At least get a Christie's appraiser to swing by.

Boooo! Boring title! Boooo!

A lot of people post bands that I'm either not familiar (like above) or I'm not a fan of, but I always appreciate their love, dedication, and support of the band they collect. All you guys are awesome.

Telling people to stop telling people to stop talking about moonshake =

Stop talking about Moonshake already.

Streets of Rage 2 is getting me back on the VG vinyl train.

Nice LTJ collection! i Should post an updated pic of mine soon. I ordered all 6 LS/HR Reissues also. May can't come soon enough! can't wait to hopefully Order Live at Astoria as Well.

lol. flippers getting pissed that people think they are shitty for selling $150 records. of course you are allowed to flip, but don't expect the internet to love you for it.

yup. This post. Don't know why I even post on these forums anymore
