Yeah - I like it. I like all their albums. The production doesn't bother me on this so much, I think mature bands become audiophiles as they get older and don't tolerate some of the rawness that fans connect to on earlier records. I think this album is missing two songs where Eddie just sounds really angry. I think his snarl has been missing for a bit. Running is a great opportunity for just some real primal screaming, but he doesn't go there. There is a bit of a Pink Floyd with more tempo feel to this. EDIT - And you're right @jhulud some outstanding rhythm section work being done.

I got nosebleeds at Fenway - Grandstand 28, not sure if they're restricted view.

Wow - that's nuts. I got P1 for the 2nd Fenway show. Anxiously awaiting to see exactly how far up they'll stick me.

Man - I dumped all of these records super fast, except for the Falcon, for basically pennies. I just discog'd them ... shit.

Bump

Yeah - I waited until the glitch was fixed, but with $13 shipping it still ran me over $60 for a single LP. I did it, but that's still a little crazy.

Haha - tons of bitching over there. HOWEVER, I am a bit sympathetic, as a fellow 10C member, that we are pretty much getting hosed on the membership. The shipping price snafu was ridiculous, as is the all-in cost for the exclusive 10C vinyl. Coming from a band that raged against this sort of price gouging in the 90s it is a little tough to swallow. I swallowed it, but I did feel like I was being taken advantage of/taken for granted. My membership number is high enough that I already know the two GA shows I put in for are going to dump me into the nosebleeds and I'll lose money trying to sell at least one of them on the fan2fan, while still paying them $30/year. I did it anyway to be optimistic, but I could feel their fingers in my pockets.

Someone's about to get a really good deal on World/Inferno Friendship Society - The Anarchy and the Ecstasy https://www.ebay.com/itm/325984388870?_trksid=p2471758.m4703

Don't know if you're into hardcore, but it's a testament to OR that her songs hold up when played like this:

I need to clean out some deadwood so I can fit new stuff in my cabinet. Add $5 to every price to cover shipping. No reasonable offer refused! Ted Leo - Brutalist Bricks (Black): $10 Ted Leo - The Hanged Man (2x LP, Black): $10 PUP - The Unraveling (Dark Splatter): $20 The Replacements - Stink (Black): $15 EELS - The Deconstruction (2x 10", Yellow): $20 EELS - Wonderful, Glorious (2x 10", Black): $15 Dinosaur Jr. - Farm (2x LP, Black): $15 Token Entry - The Reissues (2x LP, #235/500, Mustard-ish): $20

THanks - what do you mean by amplified twice?

Appreciate any thoughts you all have. So I have two set ups: one in my office (vintage Sony table, harman/kardon receiver + random table speakers), and a primary table downstairs (1st generation uTurn with an external pre-amp). I've been listening to vinyl for quite a while and am fairly adept at setting up and maintaining my gear. But for the life of me I can't figure out the upstairs set up. One of the speakers jumps in and out every time I play a record. To try and chase down the source of the issue: - I've switched out the speaker wire with new top of the line stuff. -I've switched out the speakers. - I've switched the ports. Nothing works. I brought the receiver back to the place I bought it, and asked him to repair it. He said nothing was wrong with it, put a record on in front of me and played it loud no issue. He wasn't using my speakers or table. Is there something I'm not thinking of that could be causing this? Is it likely that my receiver just has a gremlin in it that doesn't pop up when it's in the shop? Is there something on the table that could be fucking this up? I sort of want to trash all the equipment and start fresh with another new uTurn table and speakers, but that seems wasteful.

The album is really good stuff.

There's a 7 slide instagram post that she penned about being accused by some anonymous person which triggered her bi-polar and caused her to take a step back. She strongly denied everything. HOWEVER if you look at the comments, almost all of the people calling her a liar, etc. are other Australian musicians who seem to imply that these issues about her are well-known to them, and that she knows exactly who is making the accusations. https://www.instagram.com/carla_geneve/?hl=en

...And she's been accused of rape and other shadiness.
