I'm stoked for the Ride cover
I forgot about that one. Good call.
-
I'm most excited for The Plimsouls cover.
-
It's more like double sided tape than glue. I just slowly peeled it up from the inside. No rips.
Thank you for the suggestion.
-
Will a hair dryer work in an attempt to warm the glue in hopes the paper will be easier to pull apart? I'm worried about the heat warping the record, but I've never tried this.

Ten fingers of Scotch down, foolishly contemplating a test press. Charity, though!
There's only 10 test press bundles, and it is for charity. There are worst decisions you could make while drinking.
-
The shipping was the only thing I didn't care for, but I don't mind the $38.00 price considering it's all going to charity.

I never take Pitchfork seriously. Here's their 3.5/10 review of Bleed American.
How much weight can be given to a site that doesn't allow comments on their reviews? It's a forum for so-called experts to speak on music that clearly isn't to their liking.

Death Of Lovers - Buried Under A World Of Roses
Pulling Teeth - Paranoid Delusions | Paradise Illusions
Rise And Fall - Into Oblivion
Starkweather - This Sheltering Light
Starkweather / Overmars - Starkweather & Overmars Split
I've only listed to Death Of Lovers, so far, but that EP alone was worth the purchase. What a great gothic vibe. The title track is my favorite. It reminds me a lot of The Cure.

That's cool. I just figured if it was commonplace anywhere in Alabama it had probably been commonplace in the entirety of the U.S. before it made it here.
It can now be confirmed Birmingham is more current than Elk Grove, haha.

Hey Blaine, if I end up going to this, I'll definitely be on the lookout for you.
Thank you, I appreciate it.

Every brewery here in town has a vinyl night (tonight for example my Boss DJ's a B.Y.O.Vinyl night where people bring records to spin) at least once a month. The bar/venue I work at has DJ's spinning vinyl every week (and apparently Ty Segal was hanging out during the DJ set last night? Not sure what he was doing in town...)
I live about 15 minutes south of downtown Sacramento, and there may be something like this at bars in the city, but I don't care for the downtown scene. I mostly stick to my relatively small town, which would explain why I haven't heard of something like this before.
-
It's actually a bottle shop / bar. I host it (which is really just putting on a record or side) and drinking good beer with good people for three hours. I encourage others to bring tunes in, but usually it's just myself. Been doing it for a couple years. Really enjoy it.
That's a great idea. My favorite watering hole is less than a mile from my house and the owner and a couple of employees will play guitar, banjo, and fiddle after closing time on occasion. I've been there well past 3:00 am some nights, just listening to them play, playing our favorite songs on TouchTunes, and drinking beer.
I'll have to mention an idea like this to him. He's a music nerd, and I think he would dig it.
-
It's so good. I played this at the local watering hole last night for vinyl night, and several people asked who it was. Sounds sweet.
That's really cool a local bar does a vinyl night. I've never heard of a bar doing something like that.

sho thang
That looks great. Thank you.

I received my copy of Part 1 today from Amazon. Limited edition colored vinyl
Mind posting pictures?

I couldn't get one of the LPs out without tearing the jacket so I contacted Matador. I was told to yank on it. I don't think they realize how glued in these things are. The result was a torn jacket and sleeve.
Are they sending you a replacement?

Got my shipping notification for Vault #25 at 11am CST today. My last name starts with B.
Good to hear they're already shipping the domestic orders.

I'll be at a wedding event that morning, and a concert following that. If anyone can pick up the Beach Slang tape for me, I'll throw in an extra $5.00 for the effort.
-
Could be confusing, the other way makes it pretty clear what the service is while still being clever.
Touché.
-
It's no 'Wakin On A Pretty Daze'.
Pretty Pimpin is the best track.
Just my opinion folks.
This will be the first album of his I've purchased, and I've only heard the two singles from it. I think I'll wait to hear this album before I explore the rest of his catalog. First impressions matter.
-
I like the first two singles.

Let's start a 1-hr alteration business, "Tailored Swiftness".
Wouldn't it be better to use "Taylored Swiftness"?

If you're referring to the thick, PVC plastic sleeves that come on picture discs, please check out this thread on another forum for more insight: http://forums.stevehoffman.tv/threads/warning-to-all-record-collectors-outer-bag-inner-sleeve-concerns.387179/
The constant pressure when records are stacked, side-by-side or top-to-bottom, causes the plastic to stick to the record, which you've already experienced. If left alone this will ultimately cause the chemicals in the plastic to break down, resulting in the plastic sticking to your records and often in the grooves.
The best way to preserve your records is to clean them upon receipt, and transfer them into new inner and outer sleeves that are designed for archiving. While some of the options I linked above may seem expensive, it comes out to ~$1.00 per record to preserve them for your lifetime. That's a cheap price to pay, in my opinion, for even the cheapest clearance bin find.
I hope this helps.
