  1. Is anyone else as bummed as me about how this album is split up? I mean I understand there is really no other way to do it, especially on a 2xLP, but having to pull out a new piece of wax between New Noise and Refused Party Program is a bit of a bummer.

    Fuck yes I was thinking the same thing those two songs go together! Oh well still got it though.

    well on the original lp they had to split the sonic sweep part at the end of Refused Party Program that zooms straight into Protest Song 68'. What they coulda done was put those 3 songs on one side but I guess you'd have alot of extra dead spots on 3 lps.

  2. if you were going to integrate your tv/cable box/dvd player in the future you would want to get a 5.1 receiver. if you were just primarily going to use it for music especially for your turntable a stereo receiver or integrated amplifier would be your best bet. Just make sure either one you get has a "phono" input or you will also need to buy a phono pre-amp.

  3. That's pretty cool of him to sell it to you for dirt cheap. If you want a good set up, solely for the use of your turntable, you would want to get a decent STEREO receiver, if you get a new one you don't need one that does 5.1 home theater surround sound unless you're planning to use it with your tv and dvd player. Stereo receivers will only have spots for 2 left/right speakers or maybe another set for speaker B. Just make sure it has a Phono input like the AlexH said or if you get one that doesn't have a Phono jack you will also need to get a phono pre-amp. If you're planning to use this set up for a long long time (which I'm assuming you would want to) I would choose mid to high end range equipment.

    go into some home theater stores that can do a demo of equipment for you if you can, you can hear the differences between different speakers and receiver set ups. I have a decent set up for not too bad of price out of my pocket. I have Definitive Technology bookshelf Speakers and a Denon receiver. Sound is basically where I want it. I could always upgrade my equipment but it already sounds amazing.

    you can find some good older receivers that work perfectly fine, try to find some reputable brands like Marantz, Denon, Pioneer, or if you're lucky, McIntosh.

    for speakers go with bookshelf speakers unless you want some towers. try to find some that have a decent tweeter and midrange driver. if you find some really good ones you'll get some rich bass without the need for a subwoofer. Any brand would be good, just don't buy ones off of dudes that sell them from their vans in random parking lots. I love my Definitive Technology speakers but brands like Polk, JBL, Boston.. all great.

  4. just got these bookshelf speakers the other day, they sound simply amazing:

    they are on the pricier side than your budget, I got them with an employee discount for about half off the retail price. I swear by Def Tech Speakers, I have the bipolar towers in my living room home theater with built in subwoofers, sound is incredible.

  5. alright, so I went to the Larry Arms show tonight at Chain Reaction and of course they didn't have any shirts or hoodies in my size (XL) so I just bought a silkscreened poster and a 7", the display one they had was on black, and I glanced at mine, assuming that it was just black as well. While watching Teenage Bottlerocket, I accidently tip my 7" and the disc falls to ground to my horror, luckily I picked it up and made sure it wasn't scratched or damaged and it wasn't. I held it up to the light, noticing it was translucent, PURPLE! Did anybody else get a purple one at of their other tour stops or was mine just a fluke?

    I hate you. I was too busy talking to Fatty. I didn't buy shit cause of the XL shortage.

    I was so bummed that they didn't have any shirts above size M, the 7" being purple definitely made up for it. Oh and seein Fat Mike and Matt Skiba there was pretty awesome as well.
