BAND WHO TOOK PICTURE OF DRUMMER'S ERECT PENIS FOR ALBUM COVER SUDDENLY STOPS CARING ABOUT ARTWORK

I don't watch a lot of cartoons lately, but my absolute favorite "new" show is Rick and Morty. That thing's genius. 
 

Also, I cannot forget to mention DJ Shadow - Endtroducing.....
 
When I was 16, coming from a musical background of mostly alternative and experimental rock, this record was the first hip-hop album I fell head-over-heels in love with.
 

Here's MOCK UP (not the real deal) that u/topher did in the Mock Up's thread:
 
I would love to see something along these lines...
 

Check out this album too: http://theflenser.bandcamp.com/album/the-unnatural-world if you haven't already.

The first week I discovered vinyl, I cleaned a record with Windex. So, yeah...

Honestly...
 
Steve from customer service talking to himself in an infinite feedback loop (or "vindaloop") had me on the floor, where I believe I accidentally inhaled some carpet fibers.
 
Just sayin'.

Summing up every Pink Floyd fan's opinion when I say I do not expect much from this album.

Will be buying the Asbestos Pressing. Passing big-time on MOV.

Can we talk about how good Gone Girl was? I was floored. I left feeling hopeless. That was a damn good movie.

Get this:

Decent pressing and you will probably still play it 50 years from now, not that hipster crap.

Haha, normally I would, but surprisingly no.
Already own all those.
So you're good!
Although I do need another copy of SNW.. Mine has some skips and is a bit scratched up.

That is so totally witch-house*.
 
 
 
 
* - Not a real genre.

I feel like limited edition crewnecks should not be a thing.

I feel EXACTLY the same, I can listen to it but I can never really get into it. I saw them live and that was fun enough but felt the same way as the record, I just wished that dude would shut the fuck up. 
 
I'm not trying to knock them, more power to them and you guys that really like them, but it always surprised me how popular they were since I find it to be pretty abrasive. That said, I'll check out the new record for sure. 

I'm with you here. I can listen to Sunbather, but I can't like... listen to Sunbather, if that makes sense. I like the music, can't get past the vocals. I suppose you and I are the minority, though. 

Did you even read what he said or just the thread here? The condescending way it was said is what gets me.

Looks like we miscounted how many PALMS tapes we received, and some straggling copies are actually still available in our Online Store:

I honestly hope it's Deja so Juan has more copies.

A lot of up and coming musicians including myself often wonder why they haven't made it yet. they make songs, send them to blogs, and post them up on social media but they tend to hit this glass ceiling and get stuck before they go anywhere important. i met this guy last year as a nobody who lucked out with a week on the vans warped tour and he shared some beautiful words of wisdom with me that he has been kind enough to share with the world in his latest music video. take heed, take note, listen carefully, and learn something! I present to you my new favorite artist and biggest inspiration LEON LEGACY.

Enough with stupid soundtrack reissues.

Who cares?

I need some new bowls. Might bid.

My girlfriend and I moved into a new place last month and I set everything up a few weeks ago after my new turntable came in.  Sounds great!
 
Admittedly, I was using a Crosley prior to this.  I bought it years ago (2005, 2006?) and it wasn't doing the job.  I've been buying records since then, but couldn't sit back and enjoy them much because of the constant skipping and overall bad sound quality.. not to mention the damage it causes after time.    After educating myself by reading this board constantly, I ordered the U-Turn Orbit in July.  While I was waiting for the U-Turn to be delivered, I had to find a receiver and speakers as well.
 
The Orbit was upgraded a bit to the acrylic platter and Audio-Technica AT95E cartridge.  The receiver is an Onkyo A-7022 which was made in Japan in the 70's (not sure which year to be exact) and is an integrated amp.  That was purchased on ebay for $60ppd knowing it wasn't going to power on.  For the price, I took the risk and took it to a local electronic repair shop.  He told me it was just the power supply, so it was repaired and cleaned up for about $100.  Lastly, the speakers are Pioneer SP-BS22-LR Andrew Jones speakers.  These are the ones that are usually on sale on Amazon or Newegg.  I bought the pair for $80 on Newegg, free shipping and they sound great!
 
The shelves are Threshold brand from Target.  If anyone is in the market for shelving, I recommend these 100% especially if you don't have an Ikea close to you.  I personally was never in one, but I know most people go with their shelves.  I initially only bought the center shelf, but picked up the single shelves on each side for the speakers to keep them separate from the turntable.  Plus it gave me storage for books and cds which I needed.
 
I found that basket at the bottom at Target, fits 7"s really well.  I saw a thread a little while ago about 7" storage and this holds 100+.
