Sounds like an improvement

Just moved into my new apartment.  This is my first time having my records in the living room, as they used to always be in the bedroom.  I think I'm liking them out here more.
 
Next step is investing in some solid speakers, although these computer speakers sound surprisingly great.
 

Finally have a camera that will at least take a viewable photo, so I thought I would share some pics. Speaker placement is not ideal, but it is a work in progress.
 

 

Thing about that is they're completely normal nice guys who think its funny to ruffle some feathers on facebook. It's nothing to take seriously in my opinion. 

Is anyone catching Praise? That band is incredible.

Recent pickups
Code Orange - I Am King - Green/1000
Prawn - Kingfisher - Orange a side/bronze b side/400
The Promise Ring - Nothing Feels Good - black vinyl
Snowing - I Could Do Whatever I Wanted If I Wanted - Final show variant clear #81/100
Heartless Breakers - Prescriptions - random mix vinyl/250. Very happy with all of these.

Not sure anyone is claiming originality here, just something exclusive to the record club that sets it apart from the retail version.  Plus I'm friends with the fella that's actually 'hand-making' them meaning it's in the family which is always nice.  It's not being blindly pressed next to 10,000 copies of a Jay Z record in a massive pressing plant. 

For those interested, we are getting an exclusive color of the new Hounds Of Hate LP "Hate Springs Eternal."

No, the band is the worst of a combination between early La Dispute and Tiny Moving Parts when it comes to cringiness.

Here's a pic of the storage that I build a couple nights ago. Nothing fancy but it does the job and really provides some breathing room for my main storage! For now I'm using the bottom section for empty record mailers...but I'm sure that it will eventually be filled with records too.
 

 

 

How can you like All Hallows but not like Black Sails?

can we put the mention of records into this thread? if so

Reminded me of this great deleted scene:

so can we at least stop pretending that the vocals for this band live exist? saw the SF record release show and instrumentally it sounded as good as any show ive been to in a long time. but the vocals? there were none. dude was flapping his lips most the time, but literally nothing was coming out. i was standing right by the sound board and those dudes were confused as hell. i took some video from the show just so you can see how ridiculous the "vocals" were.

Most, but not all of my collection. When we moved in, we got a joiner to custom build these into the side of the room.

stop

We're sending pre-orders out starting Tuesday morning so you'll have the full album well before the release date as well. 
 
It's just a nice thing to reward those that trust my musical taste enough to throw $150 up front my way. 
 
Your support is very much so appreciated though and I hope you enjoy the album when it hits you next week.

This is the first vinyl release the band has put out themselves. Topshelf has put out everything else for them and the only reason there are so many variants is because Topshelf represses the releases when they sell out. So you're butthurt over pretty much nothing.

That Turning Point song is one of my favorites, cool choice.

Behind This Wall by Turning Point is one of the most intense hardcore songs ever.
You should check out the original version if you don't know it yet.

Deathwish just put some up in their store : http://store.deathwishinc.com/product/CAD3430v.html

SOMEONE SELL ME A BLONK SPLITTER

Nice! I built one real similar for the same purpose. Definitely gets the job done!
 

 

The entire point of collecting vinyl is to externalize and make tangible your struggle to control a cruel and uncaring world. You can't change people and you can't avoid loss but you can collect every variant of a 2003 pop punk record and upgrade your cartridge on credit. Individuals who play their LPs on a Crosley are co-signing and actively encouraging the meaninglessness existence, happily allowing the grooves of their lives to be worn down and to one day be passively led into the dark night forever. I will not go peacefully into the night...I will assemble the best system and acquire the best inner sleeves...and I will aim my sights on anyone lacking the backbone to stare into the void & yell "I WILL ONE DAY SAVE UP FOR A VACUUM POWERED WET CLEANER!"
