When you arrive in Boston, you're handed a pair of khakis, duckboots and given a haircut. For such a politically liberal place, it's oddly conformist.

Smaller runs of anything (especially printed matter and vinyl) where setup is involved are labor intensive and expensive. What I'd hope is that we get runs greater than 500 out of it. For many of these releases I'm sure there's enough demand for 1000-2000. Why not please listeners with a little more availability?

I never left. I've been living under the bins.

I wouldn't waste the time in Hot Topic. Amoeba is amazing and will eat your day from under your feet.

Don't be a jerk. I value my local shops and I'm lucky enough to have many around. I'd much rather support them than amazon. 

Thanks. I'm not big on buying music from Amazon and would rather buy direct from the label, band, or local shop.

Has anybody heard if Topshelf will reprint TWiaBP's Whenever, if ever on vinyl? I'm dying for this...

I totally didn't make this thread solely for the comments that will come from this thread no way no way

her attempt at trying to be "punk as fuck" (rolls eyes) is about as embarrassing to witness as someone's 69 year old uncle mortie trying to twerk like big freedia at at his great neices batmisvah. 

Like a 30 year old collecting posters and pieces of plastic with Phish music on them isn't dorky. We are all lame. Get off your high horse.I'm "socially awkward", do not want to talk to a single person in the RSD line and proud of it.

I love a lot of this stuff, so here goes a list. I probably skew a little towards the classical side though. Maybe tomorrow I'll dig up some youtubes:
 
Hildur Gudnadottir
Haushka
Tim Hecker (Ravedeath, 1972 is a good starting place)
Julia Kent
Dictaphone
Johann Johannsson
Max Richter (especially 24 Postcards)
David Lang ("Child" is my favorite)
Pantha du Prince/Bell Orchestra 
Eat Lights Become Lights
Ignatz
Jasper tx
 
My most recent find:
Warm Digits (kind of early kraftwerk with gnarly guitars)
 
And definitely check out these two records from last year, both are amazing.
Snow Palms - Intervals
Land Observations - Roman Roads
 
Here's my favorite site for this kind of stuff http://reviews.headphonecommute.com

Not necessarily. The mastering can differ on each format, even if it's recorded digitally (Purity Ring's Shrines is a recent example). In addition, they can master in the digital domain different for each format. Case in point, Random Access Memories was recorded all analog, then transferred to digital hi-res files for mastering, then mastered to each format. That's why the vinyl sounds different than the CD or hi-res download. 
 
But I'd agree with your general point, if it's the same mastering then the CD will sound better without the vinyl format's colorations. It doesn't mean that one can't buy vinyl for sound quality in 2013, specifically people who have invested a lot more money into their vinyl rig than their DAC.
