    If you’ve ever doubted that ETR’s interests were always rooted in gimmicky bullshit instead of actual music – and somehow ignored the absolutely drivel they’ve committed to vinyl over the years – I think this lays the argument to rest.
    On the plus side this is hilarious.  Those write-ups are DeviantArt fanfic levels of bad.

    Same. listened to it on friday while tidying the house and was feeling pretty disappointed. But remembered how much Widows Weeds grew on me, so gave it another chance on sunday while we were playing a game and I enjoyed it much more.

    dreamover got a reaction from sneakyimp in i'd like to press vinyl, what pressing companies provide good product?   
    I haven't used Smashed Plastic (Chicago) but I know people who work there and the quality of the stuff i've seen come out of there's been good. Not sure on what wait times are like. I've used Gotta Groove (Cleveland) the most and was always happy with the product. The one time there was an issue, they were quick to address it and replace all the records. Both also do jackets/packaging.
    The first record I pressed, I used Pirates Press. I was mostly happy with the product, but would've gone elsewhere if I had known better. One of the reasons they get a bad rap is because audio quality on their releases is sometimes not great. A big reason this is the case is that they will use whatever you give them and you'd be surprised how many people have given them 128 kbps mp3s and things not properly mixed for vinyl. Most other plants will have higher standards because they don't want to have to deal with pissed off people when the record sounds like shit. The record I had was properly mastered for DMM and sounds really good. Unfortunately, some of the jackets were printed off center and had a thick line on one of the borders that wasn't present in the proofs. Their single pocket standard jackets have super thin spines which is kind of a bummer. Also, the hidden shipping costs are definitely higher because they ship from GZ in Czech Republic. As @smailtronicsaid, pressing domestically makes a ton of sense, just from a shipping cost standpoint.

    I think it's tour with Jane's Addiction. A while back, Billy said they had a planned tour for 2020/21 for the 25th anniversary of MCIS that would be heavy MCIS setlist but that would be postponed. Perhaps they're planning something similar since 2023 is the 30th anniversary of Siamese Dream. So the setlist would be mostly SD/PI songs. They've been using some version of the Shiny imagery for all tours since James came back.

    dreamover got a reaction from somethingvinyl in Selling records and the new tax law   
    Yes and no. That assumes you're making a profit. A lot of people don't make any profit selling records. After fees, shipping, state taxes, selling some records for less than they paid, etc., the 20,000 threshold is designed to assume people aren't trying to make a profit and aren't hiring tax professionals and accounts to do their books. Of course, if you do $50k in annual sales, like yourself, that is in business territory and you need to keep records and pay appropriate taxes.
    The way the new threshold works, it assumes all revenue is profit and the IRS is basically saying, you're not allowed to sell anything unless you're a business. 
    I'd say 98% of the people on this board sell considerably less than 20k every year and this shit is going to hurt a lot of people. Everyone will suddenly be requiring for friends & family payments only which will give way to a lot more scammers to move in and take advantage of people. 
    You can argue that I should've been paying taxes on all the extra income I make off selling records (which is probably $500-1500 a year in profit). The state sales tax gets paid automatically now, which is different. 
    Are you paying the taxes on the whole amount that 50k+ in revenue you're taking in, or are you deducting expenses (the cost of the records, computer, label printer, packing supplies, storage, etc). Or do you classify every record you buy as a business expense and deduct it, lowering your overall tax burden? If so, I think that's WAY MORE bullshit than not paying tax on $1000 of extra hobby income.

    it looks like i sold about $3200 worth of records on discogs in 2021. After I subtract the sales tax, discogs fees, paypal fees, shipping fees, and costs of goods, i made maybe $1200 profit. Since I'm not a business and hobby costs can no longer be deducted, my tax liability on the $3200 is about $1400. So I would've saved money throwing those $3200 worth of records in the trash.

    dreamover got a reaction from copelandkid in Selling records and the new tax law   
    Because I live in Illinois, I received a 1099-K, so it was reported to the IRS. Although I shouldn't have to pay taxes on things that aren't taxable, the IRS is sure making it difficult to do that. I have no problem with paying taxes on the little "extra income" i made, but without filing as a sole prop, there's no way to distinguish the money on the 1099 as profit or expenses. 
    And there's larger problems then that. The 1099 from paypal actually includes money that i refunded to a buyer because they wanted to cancel the order. the 1099 actually is just the total amount of money (using goods and services) that was accepted and doesn't account for money refunded. And paypal isn't correcting them because they say they're doing what was required by law, documenting the money processed in one direction. So I also gotta pay taxes on money I refunded. 
    Apparently this was added to the american rescue package to make sure gig economy workers are paying their fair share so they can be classified as an employee and buy insurance from the ACA exchange. As if a door dash driver making less than 20k can afford to pay half to taxes and THEN purchase overpriced high-deductible health insurance. I don't think people realize how much this is going to screw over so many people. How democrats ever expect to win again is beyond me. It's only going to force people into finding creative ways to get out of paying taxes.
