  1. Honestly, Weezer would have to do something pretty amazing to get me to spend money on another one of their albums. I have both Blue and Pinkerton but while there have been individual songs on the mid-career stuff that I've liked (and gotten singles for), I never listen to a full album. Too much filler, too many weaker pop songs. I love the cover for the new album but eh. Just not excited anymore.
  2. I don't really get this guy. I've only heard bits and pieces though so maybe they just weren't great songs. (I have a lot of friends who think he's super attractive but I think he looks like a frog who got punched in the face).
  3. Not sure if this exactly what you're looking for but I enjoy a lot of early 20th century music and find that John's Old Time Radio podcast (http://www.eastriverstringband.com/radioshow/) is pretty interesting. Some shows may be more of interest (when it's a jazz/blues theme show). There's a also a pretty good group on FB for 78 collectors (https://www.facebook.com/groups/78rpmclub).
  4. Jealous of that Saves The Day album. Definitely one on my wishlist.
  5. I just want to add my name to the list of of "if anyone has an extra they want to sell". I tried to buy one online and they wanted $30 shipping. Ridiculous.
  6. I would love to see a vinyl release of the True Detective soundtrack. I haven't been able to find any info on whether it will ever happen but I thought the music was fantastic.
  7. I traded in some doubles/ stuff I didn't really like and got a copy of The Libertines 'Time For Heros' on red vinyl as a trade. Amazing score!
  8. Ok, ignore that super late reply. By the time I typed it, there was clarfication haha
  9. I DID THIS EXACTLY... and I super regret it. If it's something you really want to do because your interest has waned or you don't enjoy them anymore, go for it. But honestly selling off part of my collection was one of the biggest mistakes I've ever made. I sold maybe 300-400 albums (it was a few years ago and I kept about 100), and some of them are very hard to replace (hard to find, expensive now to replace, etc.) At the time I thought it was great, I didn't have to worry about storage, I got lots of money that helped with school. But now that I'm settled down, building that collection again has been really frustrating. I wish I had sold the doubles or ones that I didn't listen to anymore and used the money to pay to store all the others. It would have been expensive in the long run but giving up somethings would have been worth it. I'm sure if you sell them, people here would give you a fair price but in my experience the hassel of keeping them would have been worth it in the long run.
  10. I got the soundtrack to 'Let The Right One In' and while it was pricey, I love the music and the art so I'm pretty happy. I do think that if they were a bit cheaper, I'd try to get all of them but they're generally around $40 around here so I haven't been rushing to get them. I did hear they were releasing the Twin Peaks soundtrack (http://welcometotwinpeaks.com/music/twin-peaks-soundtrack-lp-vinyl/) so if that actually happens, I'll get it asap.
  11. I was a member of Turntable Kitchen for awhile (you get a limited edition 7" that they press themselves and some recipes/ingredients to a few dishes that match the music). It was fun to get some new music but I found after awhile I couldn't really justify the price (shipping is more to Canada too). Plus my current apartment has the worst kitchen so I never ended up making a lot of the recipes. I've been trying to find a well priced record club that isn't too expensive and will ship to Canada. Will definitely check out some of these suggestions (if any other Canadians have ideas, I'd love to hear them).
  12. I am a big Black Keys fan so I'll pick this up for sure but I'm definitely missing the grit of some of their previous stuff. However, I wouldn't be surprised in a "softer" song was released to appeal to a wider audience. Hopefully the rest of the album won't be a let down. Also going to agree that a blue and pink swirl would be awesome!
  13. The first album I ever got was an old Miles Davis album from my grandfather. I remember buying The Shins 'Oh, Inverted World' when it came out but I'm pretty sure there must have been something before it since it came out in 2000 or 2001 or something.
