Well I mean, that plus the album title of a record fans have been waiting on for 13 years but whatever.

Yeah. I can appreciate the new album title announcement. 

All that hype just to announce people can stream compressed 192kbps versions of their albums. Whoopdy-freaking-doo!!!

Rumor has it, the clear pressing has some issues.

I picture a lot of people getting into Tycho with this new album and then getting really disappointed to realize there's no female vocals on his earlier works. 

I like Tycho well enough, but I've always found his music to all sound more or less the same. While these vocals arent my favorite, they sound a bit too poppy and Frou Frou to me at tikes, it does break up his redundancy of sound. It's probably my least favorite Tycho album to date, and I own his discography.  

Several users on the Needles and Grooves forum have the vinyl flat and have had great success, I believe there is a dedicated thread for it over on that forum. Probably lots of tips and advice.

Don't think they have said a date for the SDCC leftovers to go up, in the past they have been random times after the events. The webstore variant goes up this week so its a decision to wait to see if there are any SDCC versions at a later date or not.

Cool. Do they release web store titles at a specific day and time, or is it all random?

When is the Blade Runner 2049 extras supposed to go online?

Plaidroom Records has these up now. The limited color vinyl is the cheapest you'll find them online at Plaidroom. About $10 - $12 cheaper than Bullmoose or Temporary Residence.

What genres, artists, record label, etc?

Do you have any jazz LPs on Blue Note, Prestige, or the Impulse labels? 

Can you share the discos list?

Enjoying the album so far. Def not AOTY worthy imo but I can see why some are feeling it.

 

Unfortunately my copy has a very weird crease spot. Hard to explain but it's like a very small portion of the record is skinnier than the rest and it's causing some issues with the tonearm and needle. It's bouncing like the record is warped but I can't see any warp to the record. It's almost as off something very thin and heavy was put on top of it.

 

First time I've ever had to explain a record issue like that. It's hard to see without actually looking at it and see it work on the turntable.

Email graveface. They will take care of you with a replacement, no questions asked. Excellent label

Limited to 750 copies on translucent green wax.  Take advantage of that 20% off, as today's the last day.

But will it be pressed off-center like all the other copies of this album?

Today at Goodwill slayed:

 

Since there is some glare on there, we've got:

Thin Lizzy - Live and Dangerous

Molly Hatchet - The Deed is Done

The English Beat - I Just Can't Stop

ELO - Face the Music

Bruce Springsteen - Born In The USA

Rick James - Street Songs

Jesse Johnson's Revue

Stevie Wonder - Songs in the Key of Life

Slade - Slayed?

Sara Barielles - The Blessed Unrest

Love and Rockets - Seventh Dream of a Teenage Heaven

Dead Boys - Younger, Louder & Snottier

Dead Boys - Night of the Living Dead Boys (clear green repress)

Siouxsie and the Banshees - Through the Looking Glass

and of course, my favorite from the bunch Doug Martsch - Now You Know.

 

If anyone wants to buy that Sara Barielles I'll gladly part with it. I just grabbed it because I knew it was worth significantly more than I was going to pay for it. Hanging on to everything else though.

Nice Doug find. I found a sealed copy of it at Amoeba years ago, but it wasn't 35 cents.

I feel very fortunate to have been able to see ASC when they were touring LLO and earlier material. Never forget hearing Steps and Numbers live in Madison WI along the lake on a summer night. Outdoor shows are zee best.

Indie Only Gold Vinyl up at Bullmoose

In for this.

Yeah. They actually give records to each other for free and cut each other pretty solid deals all the time. 

Yeah, it's called the Pay It Forward Thread. I'll admit, it's pretty awesome. I've nabbed so many good albums from that thread:

Sleep - The Scientist

Flying Lotus

Gorillaz Demon Days

Bunch of Jazz, Monk, Miles

The National Boxer, etc.

I've probably grabbed 25 LPs from that thread. People are very generous over there.  I've also given away 25 or 30 LPs that I had duplicates of or didn't listen to anymore.  Works out for everyone. One big vinyl record trading session.

Supposedly we're too rude and crude while the Steve Hoffman forum is too elitist so they have to Goldilocks it up and make one that's justtttt right.

It probably has to do more with the musical tastes of the forum members then the members themselves. For me, VC is more punk, pop punk, emo, hardcore, indie, and other subgenres of rock. The SH forums are a good resource, but most topics relate to older artists, class rock, jazz, blues, etc.

VMP was sort of the middle ground. Conversations about a little of each genre.  Granted, I do visit all three forums to find information. This whole vinyl forum "clique" attitude is a bit ridiculous. 

I also much preferred the VMP forum's user interface. It was so simple to upload photos, which served to enhance a lot of conversations and threads. Whereas, VC requires you to use a third party website (e.g., Photobucket)  then hyperlink to that within the forum to get a photo up. Not sure if that has since changed, but it was/is annoying and outdated

Mac's novelty has worn off for me. 

All these slow songs are just so boring. He isn't an amazing songwriter, singer, or even a very talented instrumentalist.  It'd be one thing if he could write some intricate layered guitar parts, or at least a technical piano/keyboard section, but it's all so remedial and he just makes it weird by pitch shifting the tape he records on.  

I dont know. I own all of his other material and am not eager to buy this latest release. 

I'm interested in a copy of Alkaline Trio - Self titled, Maybe I'll Catch Fire, and The Lawrence Arms Ghost Stories. I have no preference for variants, prefer a Near Mint colored vinyl copy. Also interested in Tuesday Freewheelin, if you have it. 

I'm not looking to spend a lot. What price can you offer on these titles?

Dont use picture disc sleeves at all. Those thick plastic sleeves off-gas and will create a visible haze on the vinyl which will lead to surface noise. It happened to my copy of Fairlight by Com Truise. Put the picture disc in a normal poly lined paper sleeve and be done with it.

Agreed, I dig “hidden” variants like that.  The US pressing of The National’s High Violet may as well be black on paper until you hold it up to the light and it becomes appropriately violet.

 

Since records are made for spinning and not holding up to lamps, though, there’s a bit of a disconnect.  Has anyone made a turntable that supports illumination?  Maybe something that features one of those clear ceramic platters over some LED bulbs?  I think that’s got potential.

Anyone else still waiting on shipping from Plaidroom Records? Placed my order within a minute of stuff going live and still haven't gotten shipping notification. I know they said it would be awhile. Just curious if anyone else had any luck yet. 

I'm still waiting. No shipping notice, no nothing.
