The Official 'Vinyl Me, Please' thread.
monk0nuggets replied to Deoxitizer's topic in Vinyl Collective Message Board
US - also, where are these referral codes? I see your link, but nothing happens when I click it except a new Vinyl Me tab with the main page open. -

Honey is a Chrome pluggin that automatically applies any discounts that are available to any given site! (also, this site isn't processing my order - it keeps failing to verify my address?) -

I actually used Honey and it gave me a $10 discount too! -

Ugh, I don't want to join, but I want this record so much. I think I have to. -

So, question - If I were to join right now, would I be getting Tidal first, or their next release? I can't seem to find details on the site. Edit: It seems so. -

Alright - So what friend across the sea wants to nab me those two Cocteau Twins LPs and Aqua's Aquarium (my wife is still obsessed)? -
New Records....Scratched to Shit

I have been feeling a bit cursed, tbh. -
New Records....Scratched to Shit
monk0nuggets replied to monk0nuggets's topic in Vinyl Collective Message Board
So, apparently, it's just me. Great. What could possibly be the cause of this? -
New Records....Scratched to Shit
monk0nuggets replied to monk0nuggets's topic in Vinyl Collective Message Board
Believe me, as a librarian and person who used to release records, I handle records like babies. Honestly, most of the records I inherited from my parents are in better shape than most of the new records I've bought recently. It makes no sense. -
New Records....Scratched to Shit
monk0nuggets replied to monk0nuggets's topic in Vinyl Collective Message Board
In my experience, there isn't a single place I can pin point. I get things from local shops, when traveling, and online, all of which I've continuously had this happen. It's kind of disheartening. Last week I bought 4 records, 2 had severe scuffing/scratching, 1 had light scuffing, 1 had some kind of chemical marking on one side making it almost unlistenable due to noise. -
Am I alone in finding that 90% of the new records I buy these days are already scratched (or worse) upon opening them for the first time? What's the deal? In the past couple weeks I've opened some that were really bad. Anyone else having this experience?

Official Record Stores List (help us list them)
monk0nuggets replied to user456's topic in Vinyl Collective Message Board
Ended up checking out Smash, Som and Songbird. Randomly found a new copy of Andrew Bird's Mysterious Production of Eggs at Som - Anyone know if there has been a repress since its original 2005 release? I can't seem to find any info on one, other than a listening for it on his official site. Weird. -
Official Record Stores List (help us list them)
monk0nuggets replied to user456's topic in Vinyl Collective Message Board
So, is there an actual completed list buried in this thread someplace? I ask, as I'm heading to DC tonight and would like to scope out a solid shop one evening this week. Edit: Found the map. Of the DC shops, does anyone have a preference? -
With punch cards in hand, went back to Record Theatre today and picked up: Death From Above 1979 - You're A Women, I'm A Machine Sleater-Kinney - No Cities To Love Jimmy Eat World - Bleed American

Really dug the new tracks they played on their last tour. Looking forward to this one. -
What's your latest purchase?
monk0nuggets replied to ajxd's topic in Turntables & Other Audio Equipment
After selling my old Marantz 2252B (which I was using mainly as a phono preamp at this point) and filing my taxes, I decided to upgrade a few components. Went ahead and bought a Gram Slee Special Edition 2 phono preamp, new Audioquest Golden Gate Interconnects, and an Audio-Technica AT150Sa cartridge (formally Ortofon 2M Red). Current complete line: Audio-Technica AT150Sa -> Thorens TD 295 mark 3 -> Gram Slee Special Edition 2 -> Audioquest Golden Gate Interconnects -> Marantz SR5005 -> 2 Axiom M60 v2 -
I've successfully stayed away, not so much out of want, but out of necessity. Things that are new with me since last visiting a few years back: - I got married - I started an ongoing film series here in Buffalo called Cultivate Cinema Circle - I am managing a makerspace and recording studio that are both free and open to the public at the Buffalo downtown library - I am writing quite a lot of film criticism for a number of outlets and festivals - I moved to a smaller, nicer apartment - Thanks to my incoming tax return, I am doing some minor upgrades to my audio setup

So happy to see ronnie's blue face still in the fold!

It's been a while. A lot has changed, but those LPs keep spinning.
