Man Suits

So, I'm moving to Texas this weekend for grad school. I have been saving up money all summer but am half way to the mark that I set for myself. I have a place to stay, but no job yet. It sounds like this will be a fun year! 

Many other cultures don't work this way.  Lots of people outside America like the barter system because it lets them know what value you place on their goods.  In many places if they tell you a price and you don't counter-offer, they will be offended.  It's considered rude in many cultures to accept the advertised price without bartering.

 

I lived in a culture that, today, uses the barter system, and it was extremely stressful for me to be honest. 

League of Legends? 

Finally got around to watching A Clockwork Orange the other day.
I bought the soundtrack on impulse while digging for records at my work and ended up going out and buying the movie. 

 

I must say that it is certainly visually scarring, but a very well done movie.

Right now I am reading my way through Treatise on Human Nature by David Hume for my Philosophy class. I'm enjoying it a lot actually.

Plot twist, it's been more than 45 days.

 

Yeap.. dun dun dun..

I guess we'll get them one day.. maybe..

They've been having some problems with the plant from what I hear. I haven't heard an update since then though. I understand completely, but it is taking a pretty long time, lol.

 

I'm pretty curious about an update as well

Finally completed my innards collection. I don't collect variants, so I'm not counting them. But I'm pretty sure that I've got everything that they've put out thus far. Pretty content for now. Sorry for the sideways picture. 

 

So, I had a dream last night that I finally got a copy of a record that I had been looking for almost forever. I woke up and was so excited to play it. After freaking out while looking through my collection it dawned on me that it was just a dream. 

 

Not a good day so far..

I hate being me sometimes. I dislike almost everything I hear the first time that I hear it. Like I know it's a good record, and I can see it becoming one of my favorites; but I just got through listening to it for the first time and just can't get into it yet.

 

That's the way I am with almost everything. Every time I hear a new album I can't stand it. I just have to force myself to listen to it, and then it grows on me the more I listen to it.

 

Am I making any sense?

Stream up tomorrow, so hopefully downloads today or tomorrow?

 

Today would be awesome, but who knows..

I'm just going to go with what someone else said. It ultimately depends on personal preference, but I do consider it as a viable part of my collections. I don't collect variants and the like, but I do personally collect comps and stuff. 

 

Ultimately, it's whatever makes you happy brah.

I guess this is the best place to post this... Holy fucking shit, someone on reddit found a copy of Godspeed You! Black Emperor- All Lights Fucked on the Hairy Amp Drooling. For anyone unfamilar, this is their first release, limited to 33 copies and this is the first copy known to exist

 

This is amazing. I've never seen one of these before. 

I've never owned this table but I haven't personally heard anything good about it.

Buy from these guys! I finally did break down and bought the Orchid Tribute. 

 

Excellent shipping, and they also threw in a free 12 inch. I was having a such a bad day until I saw that.

That is beautiful.

Hey man, when I first signed up here I found this thread to be quite helpful. It should cover about any question you have. It is very well written and highly informative.

Apart from actually giving you a crash course in some basic knowledge it also lists suggestions for things like turntables, preamps, etc.. 

 

Hopefully this helps bro!

Yeah I've found the two knights release on discogs, but shipping from Canada is killer. I would love to be able to get my hands on Tracing though. 

 

Just to have a complete vinyl collection of theirs would be great.

I'm trying to get a complete collection of theirs. 

 

I need:

 

-Tape split with completely fucked.

-No Scum Allowed Split with Two Knights

-tracing 

 

If you have any of these releases by them let me know. I would be happy to buy them off of you.

Nice man. Congrats!

Failed Folk band

 

Now I'm in a Skramz band. We'll see...

Man this looks awesome. I bought the Elesh Norn tape from them like a few days ago. I wish that I would've known about this. 

 

Still thinking about picking up that Rep. release though. Maybe even pick up the You'll Live release. 

 

Thanks for the heads up bro.

 

 

EDIT: The calculator album looks pretty tempting as well.

Oh the things I would do for these to be pressed...

 

Is that what the kids are calling it these days? 

 

 

^ thanks for the info!

 

I really want to do what this guy did, I'm not sure how difficult it would be honestly.

White Carbon with an acrylic platter and LED lights beneath it. Looks awesome.

 

I'm definitely doing this. 

I'll have to figure out a way to rig this with Christmas lights because I'm weird like that.
