Anyone have 2.5 hours to spare?
David The Gnome replied to bearchuck's topic in Turntables & Other Audio Equipment
I'm about 75 minutes in and this really is fascinating to me. I do have a bit of a sound engineering background and a strong appreciation for the process that the creation that a song/album goes through from an idea and words and notes to the end result but I really feel like if you can sit through this and really take it in, you will truly be better off for it. These guys might come off a bit snobbish but dammit do they know what they are talking about. One of the topics that has been addressed that really hits home to me is how music is taken in today. It really is a shame that most of the listening of music today does come in such a setting that doesn't allow for a strong emotional and deep connection to be made to the actual music. That's just the state of society today though. We've got full days everyday and lots to do; it's great that we can go through our days with our music. Getting back to the idea of having a connection with the music.. I feel that lyrics can have a strong effect on you regardless of the quality of the audio or the setting, to a degree, that it's taken in at but I feel that the music really needs to be taken in in a way that you can kind of eliminate as many of the other senses as possible to fully appreciate and have the music truly speak to you. I know, for me.. lights off, minimal possible distractions, quality headphones, eyes closed and being relatively still really sets me up for a really enriching, personal experience with the music. They go on to talk about a few other topics in some depth, and its really great to hear all of their separate views on each of them, but this is what I felt compelled to write while continuing to listen. Regardless of my opinion on any of this, thanks again for making it available on VC with this thread. Edit: Yeah, made it through its entirety. Very awesome. Definitely recommend it when you've got the time to actually pay attention to it. -

David The Gnome replied to isavedlatin54's topic in Vinyl Collective Message Board
Anybody have any issues with the red variant of II? I picked one up at the Pittsburgh show and it has really strange muffling on two tracks of the B side and it simply is almost breaking my heart. The first, is throughout Friendly Advice. It shuffles my stylus around like the record is really warped.. but it doesn't seem to be warped at all. It spins quite flat. The second, is somewhere in the middle of Petite Mort and is very minor. Maybe I got a roughly pressed copy? I don't know. It is simply just a bummer. Such a very pleasing album though. -

David The Gnome replied to David The Gnome's topic in Sale/Trade/Wants
I appreciate the info, Seth. That's good to know but I definitely want the first pressing. KD is #1 in my book and this album is my favorite of his. I'm not necessarily aiming to pay $150. I haven't seen one on collectors frenzy go for quite that but I know what you're saying. I'm looking for someone who no longer enjoys the album/would like someone who would enjoy it to have their spin (get it!?)/needs money to come along and take a fair and worthwhile offer for it. Not necessarily looking to be price gauged or to lowball. Being a big fan, I really just really want to have this record.- 103 replies

I agree, it'd be frustrating. Who knows what problems they ran into though. Would it make sense that making it available to other retailers like soundstagedirect and Amazon would push the date back? It seemed like it was available for preorder on Amazon right about the time it got pushed back the first time. Just a random observation...

Picking on the new kid for asking for a hard to find record? Haha. I'm only aware of (and can only find info for) the Orange/White pressing out of 500. Do you have a link with any information about it and/or proof? I see you have just the Orange/White listed on your deadformat.- 103 replies

WTB: Kind Of Like Spitting - Nothing Makes Sense... LP
David The Gnome replied to seanbct's topic in Sale/Trade/Wants
Just bought one on eBay for 32ppd (buy it now) a few days ago. My best advice is to be proactive and check daily and/or make "kind of like spitting (in records)" a saved search. eBay will email you when new auctions appear under the saved search. Good luck. -
