New single!
Can the Bronx ever do wrong?!
Song is absolutely bangin'!
 
 

Two different takes on the song. But I'm going to say I like the Black Keys version more (and I'm a big Doors fan). 
 
The BK's version is more authentic to the Mississippi hill country style. 
 
The Doors cover is definitely the Doors take on a classic.

Looks like the new album is out tomorrow. 
 
No details on phsycial media.

I have Somethin Else on the way and pre-oreded Moanin.
 
What is the sound quality like on Speak No Evil?
 
Probably old news, but new to me. The Tone Poet series is great. I got Now He Sings, Now He Sobs a while back and it sounds incredible. 
 

While I’m a big fan, I think this blanket statement won’t actually solve OP’s problem. The 2m blue is known as a very bright cart, and has been reviewed as fatiguing to some (myself included)
 
While it’s true the Rotel might be amplifying the problem produced by the cart (no pun intended), a 2m blue paired with a marantz might still be too bright for OP’s preference. I’d personally start with a new cartridge as it’ll be the easiest part of the system to invest in and would most likely solve the problem. 

IMHO, SNW is their no.1. Hahah.

They should’ve just repressed The anthology.

I saw TheFutureEmbrace tour at the Avalon in Boston, in 2005. Listening to these songs took me right back there. 

yeah, new songs are good and the person who said it has a TheFutureEmbrace feel was spot on.

Looks like vol 2 is coming out on Sumerian Records.
 
The teaser sounds really good!  Hoping it’s mixed well all around (including vocals).

I can't find it off hand now either sorry. It is essentially how it was recorded, all instruments together, low budget and how impressive it is that it sounds so tight and solid. 
 
I orignally found the story about it on Reddit, but that was years back. 
 
This book and archival 7" look intersting: https://hozacrecords.com/product/idfi7/ 

Of course I have, I think most people have resold something at a value that’s been established over time.  That’s never been an argument.  You buy a record because you enjoy the artist or the release.  A year later, maybe 2 or 3, you’re making space on the shelf and you realize that $80 is the median price that record now goes for.  You’re not a monster for trying to sell it around that value even if you paid $25 PPD for it back in 2017.
 
But that’s not the reality for stl_ben, RareLimiteds, and a dozen other scuzzy flippers who deliberately lurk VC and Reddit to hop on “hyped” releases for an immediate resale.  Ben and the gang probably haven’t heard of 70% of the shit they peddle.  They’re going purely off comments (interest), label value, artist history sales, etc.  It’s pathetic.
 
I’ve missed out on releases I would’ve genuinely loved to own and hold onto — because I was in a conference at work or had some real world responsibilities to attend to — and found them for sale on Discogs just 3-4 days later, for quadruple the sale price.  That sucks.  Those people suck.  I think it’s fair to voice that.  Saying “oh well you all have the same opportunity, no sense in complaining” is garbage.  Having some greasy haired couch goblin call me out as not being an adult for “minding my own business”, because I’m venting about instances where I miss out on cool shit because of adult obligations... well, that’s garbage too.  It’s a shitty practice and if you’re cool with it or keen on turning a blind eye, that’s fine.  But don’t come at me just because I’m not.

Evidently the scheme was not acceptable as spotify pulled the album and changed their rules so other bands couldn't do the same thing.
But props to any band that can do something creative like that to cover their costs of touring.

Yep.

I'm no longer as big Mastodon fan as I used to be, that said... Cut You Up With A Linoleum Knife on vinyl almost pushes me into buying this.

the closer of Gore, Rubicon, is one of my favorite closers of theirs. just an awesome build up in that bad boy.

Looks like this is getting closer...

An eye for an eye leaves the whole world blind. 
 

Milk it? They're molesting it.

Thanks!

To be fair, I really have no idea what I'm talking about. But I really enjoyed the album on Youtube and think it will be a ripper if it's well mastered and well pressed on vinyl.

This is really a great album...We all love it...we all can't wait for the official, affordable release...what's the discussion again?
