So excited for your show in VA that I had to buy a sweatshirt, these are great deals!

I just called the local hot topic, which in the past you would be lucky to find any more than 15 records total at any given time, looking for a few titles. the manager said they just received 2 boxes of nothing but vinyl but wasn't sure what was in them yet. He then said that he was definitely going to make vinyl a much bigger priority for the holidays and the future in general at his store so to call back later this week once they had the new vinyl section set up. Stoked!

If you don't mind me asking, which location did you speak to?

I believe it's on the lower left hand corner on the back of the album.

Thanks!

Just got my shipping notification, looks like they're finally going out!

They should bring this business to the 9:30 Club!!!!  Come on!!!! 

Just got an email about this preorder if anyone is interested:

I loved White Crosses. It's certainly a departure from previous releases and no where near the same band that released Reinventing, but it was still a really solid record.

 

Strong lyrical content from LJG more than makes up for a bit more polish than the previous releases had on them and the changes in lineup that affected the "sound" overall.

Agreed. I wish Warren was playing drums on White Crosses to give it more urgency, but still good nonetheless.

I'm pretty sure it's her first album with the band since the transition, and i'm pretty sure I read it's the last album AM! is releasing. I hope i'm wrong about the last part.

Me too, ordered it anyways. I'm not getting my hopes up.

I've been meaning to pick this up, thanks!

If none of the previous tips work, I would check your cartridge alignment. Conrad Hoffman has an idiot-proof arc projector to help you align your cartridge here: http://www.conradhoffman.com/chsw.htm. I noticed when my cartridge was off, my music had a lot of sibilance, or a shhh sound on words that started with S.

Did it just happen randomly? This happened to me and I unplugged the cartridge wiring and hooked it back up, must of had a wonky connection, but it worked.

I was there for the second night! Gotta get this.

So excited for Pennywise!

Obviously doesn't love everyone.

From what it looks like, the orbit does not come with anti-skate, but does come with a counterweight. The dangling weight on the Project and Music Hall is the anti-skate.

Signed, great idea!

It's been mentioned, but Big Choice by Face to Face is very high on my list.

Sounds like the turntable isn't grounded properly. Do you have the ground wire from the table screwed into the ground on the preamp?

Check out any of the Musical Fidelity preamps, I love my V-LPS II, and they just released the new V-90 LPS which is sure to be good. Most preamps in the $100-200 range should work just fine. 

Got It!

I ship items to hotels in Las Vegas every week for my job. As long as you communicate your intentions to the hotel staff in advance and ship either UPS/Fedex, you should not have any problems. Make sure to include the name of the person who made the hotel reservation and a room number if you can get it in advance. Also, look out for small holding fees some hotels charge to hold packages.

Just saw this on Dispatch's website this morning, so I figured I'd let you all know!

"Due to overwhelming demand, we're repressing BANG BANG on vinyl! On navy blue vinyl no less. The album has been out of stock for almost 2 years. Orders begin shipping November 21st."
