I've been picking up occasional jazz records now and again, but my favorite is definitely Crescent from the Coltrane Quartet. I like his Ballads album too. Though I don't get as into some of the 'faster' stuff that Coltrane plays. Slow and moody is what I'm looking for, I guess. Any recommendations? 

Both the links posted here aren't working for me, but I found it just by searching.

Might grab it. Might not. I don't have Empros yet either, so there's that too... my wallet is making me hesitate. 

And done. At least you guys left some for me! Went with the CD/vinyl package and asked for black. And now I wait...

So this will go online 2 minutes after I need to leave for work? Son of a--oh well, I'll grab it in the morning. 

So probably too expensive unless you live in the Netherlands. So just wait for the repress. 

 

I tried.   

Wine and black available here, for anyone that missed out:

Looks like they have copies of the Roadburn LP as well. 

 

Edit: I don't know the price nor where it's shipping from, just a copy/paste from their Facebook page. 

My cat refuses to finish the food in her bowl. She'll beg and beg and beg and beg and beg and if I ignore her long enough she'll finally eat all the food. And immediately after, I give her more. But we go through this process every day. 

About 150 CDs and around 75 records (12"). 

 

I used to buy CDs a lot once I finished high school and started working full time. So I'd say 90% of those came from that first year or two of working full-time and living at my parents' place. Then when I moved out, I decided I couldn't afford music (lame) and went back to downloading stuff.

 

Vinyl piqued my interest a while ago because I would keep seeing bands I like releasing their music that way. After a few years, I finally bit the bullet and began looking into vinyl (which was about one year ago from present time). At this point, I've gotten rid of nearly all the music I don't legally own, and that's what I'm most happy about.

Are lyrics available online somewhere for this? I had to let this grow on me a bit, but I think it's going to be an album-of-the-year contender for me now. 

Man, I don't even know why you're up-in-arms about that comment... I mean, just read the responses to this thread? I'm not trying to call anybody out, but there was no useful information given, hence my comment. Or maybe it's my fault for making a serious response in what apparently is a non-serious / troll thread? I'm not good at the internets; I'm uncool and often too serious. 

Apparently you don't read this forum often enough to realize a handful of people really know their vintage gear.

 

That's actually my point... only a handful of people.

 

 

 

I put together decent system that would have cost me a lot more if I went with comparable modern parts instead (mostly just my amp). So I don't really understand your point... I went vintage because I wanted to save money. If you're worried about buying 'dodgy' equipment, you just need to do a bit of research beforehand to know what you're getting and how easy/difficult it may be to service (IF needed--often times a good cleaning is all that's necessary).

For future reference: Don't use this forum to ask about vintage gear. 

 

If everything is functioning properly, that's actually a pretty nice amplifier (it's a KA-8100, not 80100). The price isn't completely horrible either, assuming you want both the amplifier and the tuner. The guy knows what he has, so if you're looking to score a vintage gem for a song, keep looking. But if you can talk him down to ~$200 for the two, that's comparable to some recent ebay prices, and you'd end up with some pretty nice, high quality vintage gear.

Dammit. I was having a good chuckle at this thread, now I'm crying. I want one.  

I feel the same way.  It grew on me overall, but I wasn't blown away like I was with A Determination.

 

I don't think I've listened to that one yet. I mostly listened to the Galilean Satellites and Wake/Lift. I played through Anaesthete two or three times and ordered the vinyl, but I want to hear the new track before grabbing this EP. Supposed to be here, but it's not up yet...

I ordered this through my record shop and they still haven't gotten it? I called them on I think the 19th of August asking them to order it. I thought maybe there's just been an issue/delay, but looks like everyone's gotten their copies that ordered online. I really really really really really want to listen to this album, dammit. The record shop usually gets albums pretty quickly when I have them order for me...

I haven't gotten a shipping confirmation yet.  

So I have a newfound appreciation for Tim Hecker. I've had Harmony in Ultraviolet for a little while now and liked it enough, but I was never head-over-heels for it. The other day I decided to listen to it again, but with headphones. I think it 'clicked.' I did the same the following day, and yesterday I decided to try the album again through my speakers. Two minutes in, I grabbed the headphones. The album demands them, at least for me (I don't have an ideal listening space since it's a studio apartment and I try to be very reasonable with the volume).

 

But yea. I want want more Hecker albums now; I'm hooked on this one. 

after talking to everybody thats in produce i learned they've all been suffering too.

 

If you ask someone to complain for you, few people will say, "Nope, no complaints." I work in a factory and I doubt I could find a single person here that would tell me they don't have aches or pains because of the job. People like complaining, especially when they don't have to blame themselves. But I think the job is only half of the blame. If you go to the gym, you should know how incredibly important posture is. I don't know what a produce job entails, but I imagine ergonomics and posture are equally as important there. Hell, if you don't sit in a chair with proper posture, you're back is going to hurt. 

 

So that's my recommendation: fix the source of the problem as best as you can before trying to fix it after-the-fact. If you're not already familiar with proper ergonomics, just do a bit of reading or maybe find some diagrams on google. Then at work, try to remain conscious of your body at all times. You can't always stay in perfect form, but don't take unnecessary shortcuts either. If it takes you an extra few seconds to do the job 'properly' and you end up looking like a dork, so be it. Better to look like a dork in your 20s than to be slouching and in chronic pain by your 40s. 

 

 

All said, if you've only been on the job for a handful of shifts so far, it could just be your body adjusting to new work. If you're still feeling pain and discomfort after two weeks, that's when I'd be more wary. 

I hear this so often yet I will never understand how someone can not "get" the intensity of his artistic merit. I view his two decade musical career as the most impressive example of consecutive songwriting quality. I do think though that in order for the intentions behind his artistic contributions to resonate that one must be very sentimentally inclined and emotionally focused. Certainly the grandest example of the man not matching up with the beauty they envision through song though.. there's nothing gentle or cherished or sweet or selfless about the person he is. But I perceive that reflective warmth in every single record he's released.

 

I don't 'get' him either. I also don't pay attention to lyrics, so maybe that's why? But I still enjoy stuff like Tom Waits or The National even though I couldn't tell you the lyrics to any of their songs. 

 

I also just can't get into Radiohead. I've tried a lot and don't dislike them and even enjoy some songs, but with albums as a whole I'm always left just feeling, "meh." Same for The Flaming Lips. 

If you want this new job and they are requiring you to start immediately, just quit the other job right away. Two weeks notice is a courtesy, but it's not necessary. It seems that you've already told your boss that you're looking for new work. If you aren't able to give them much notice ahead of time, so be it. 

 

And on a completely different note: I always tell people this when I hear about them looking for work. Look around for production/manufacturing jobs around you. It might be slightly harder work compared to other 'entry-level' jobs (physically), but you'd probably be looking at $15+/hour to start with at least 40 hours a week. Where I work, most guys are making near or over $20/hour after three months. Plus, depending on the size of the company, moving up can actually be pretty easy if you have a good work ethic or a bit education to give yourself an edge. 

One that I know of off the top of my head is Cloudkicker's Subsume. On the vinyl edition, the ending to 'A Weather Front...' is actually the intro to 'He Would Be Riding...'

 

Not a huge difference--and I assume it was just to get the album to fit on a single LP--but I actually love it this way. It combines two of my favorite sections of the album into one slab of awesomeness. 

 

 

I remembered another one while typing this: My copy of Converge's You Fail Me has the track 'Wolves At My Door.' I think that song was originally only on the Japan CD and now on more recent pressing of the LP. 

People collect stuff because they like to collect stuff. 

That insound sale has some solid stoner/doom. Not sure what was in stock and such but when i poked through there was kylesa, high on fire, the body, thou, church of misery, kadavar, OM, mammatus, torche just to name a few. May be worth checking out. Some really solid prices i just dont have the funds to pick anything up

 

I picked up Nadja's Dagdrom. 

 

How long should I wait on someone here to respond in buying an album? I messaged him on the 18th and he responded the very next minute. Then I made a payment on the 19th and haven't heard anything since. I sent a second message yesterday, but still waiting. 

I believe so. I forgot to save the page as a receipt so I don't have all the exact prices, but for four albums I was paying over $10 shipping I think. For two, it looks like I'm paying about $4-5.
