More action now than there was at the trade deadline. Interesting to see if any more deals happen.

Still crossing my fingers that treble charger's self=title and Maybe It's Me someday get pressed. Seems like more and more stuff from that era is showing up on vinyl.

Not that this thread needed resurrection, but.... http://exclaim.ca/music/article/the_toronto_public_library_now_carries_vinyl_records

Up on Amazon.ca,  $39 CAD each.

I'm in the same boat as you. One of my favourite albums ever (can't believe I only discovered it a couple of years ago), and have an original CDN press, but would definitely fork out money for a nicely pressed copy.

Four of his non-ambient 70s LPs are getting the 2LP 45rpm half-speed master treatment, out in August: Another Green World Before and After Science Here Come The Warm Jets Taking Tiger Mountain (By Strategy) Preorder on Eno's website - 26UKP each. I can only imagine they will be widely available, but we will see. http://www.enoshop.co.uk/shop I wonder if this means reissues of all his early stuff?

Bugle 2 is great - noticed an upgrade from an equivalent to the Phono MM (by NAD) right away. You'll like it!

I think you have a lot of members here who will be rooting for you (myself included), as it sounds like you have the right passion and ideas to make this work. I don't have much to offer other than best wishes for success. Next time I'm in NYC I'll be coming by.

Debating if I think this one is great or too much of a mess. My fave of his since AIB is Sleep Beneath The Willow, and I recognize that this is quite different, and I do love the Hazlewood-style he's been going for, but he's one of these artists who is so prolific I find it hard to keep up, and really dig deep.

Pfft. Severed head? Come on. The president had a FUCKING TYPO on his Twitter!!!! Lock him up!

Best so far: The xx Julie Byrne Sampha Jens Lekman Father John Misty Mount Eerie (okay, objectively beautiful and amazing, but so incredibly sad that I cannot ever listen again) Most excited for: HAIM Fleet Foxes Jason Isbell and the 400 Unit The Wrens* (no idea if their album will come out this year. I mostly just hope for it every year)

Yes, such an amazing record and such an underappreciated band.

I've been recording at home since I was 12, and have done my darndest to keep up with the hobby as an adult, but with a full career, two soon-to-be three kids at home, and limited space to record, I'm finding it hard to get my music done. Last summer I put together most of an album, and I would say it's roughly 80-85% done, but it needs some help. It's mostly an indie rock/bedroom pop/roots rock record wearing its Wilco influence on its sleeve, though I'm modelling the sound on Beulah's When Your Heartstrings Break, Wheat's Hope and Adams, Jim Guthrie's Now More Than Ever, plus a whole bunch of other things. Here's where I could use some help: there are a few instruments that need to be added/replace my tracks, so that I can finish this, and I was wondering if there are any VC musicians who would be interested in laying down some tracks at their houses to add to my songs. The rough list: -I need some electric guitar rhythm and lead parts re-done. I don't have a proper electric guitar in my house and used an acoustic through Logic's 'amps'. It sounds how you think it would. -Piano/keys/synth - my playing is barely passable. -Backup vocals - would be helpful in different places -ambient/electronic noise - if you're an experimental artist, I have a few tracks that may need some sound/noise/ambiance -an electronic drum beat - I made one for a track that sounds like a Casio keyboard, and would greatly appreciate an upgrade -any other non-traditional instrument (got lots of guitars, violin and viola, and keys on the tracks, but would love anything unconventional) If you're interested or considering this, send me a message and I'll share the Dropbox folder with the songs in their current state. You can listen to some of my past music via my signature.

Roughly 1/3 of the book was a choose-your-own-adventure about refunds.

Not sure if anyone here has actually read this, but I was at a book store this morning and flipped through it. Nothing ground-breaking, and anyone here probably knows everything the book has to say. It covers everything it advertises, though because it discusses new turntables and such, it will be pretty out of date in a year or two. It's not tremendously well-written, and I noticed at least 2 or 3 errors/issues as I was navigating. Realistically though, I imagine the market for a book like this is pretty slim as few folks would readily admit to being a 'beginner' and also want to read through an entire book. I did find this particularly amusing: image sharing image sharing

I love that Westerberg/Grandpaboy album. I really like Mono, but I have such a soft spot for Stereo. As someone who has always home-recorded music quite badly, it was honestly one of the most important things I heard when I was 17, an artist I admired releasing songs and tracks that included fuck ups, and the drums on Don't Want Never sound about as good as when I try to play drums. Also, when I had kids, Baby Learns to Crawl was just too much...

Oh man a Nashville Ottawa final would be so hilarious.

Got to check out then it said there was a problem with my payment method, Paypal, which I've used with them before...now nothing... Update: now got an email saying that Paypal has cancelled my billing agreement with them...

I'm newish to all of this. Is it usually this bad when something gets released? Not getting anywhere...

So excited for this. Days Are Gone has been one of my most listened to records over the past couple years.

Here is my Start Drug Overdoes Rap. Let me know what you guys think. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQ

This is wonderful news. I was always in shock that none of her records were released on vinyl, since I can only imagine how amazing it would sound done right.

I visited both about 2.5 years ago (both amazing cities) and loved exploring the record stores in both. One of my favourite things in Seattle was that all of the record stores offered a Seattle and area record store map, which was amazing since as a Canadian I didn't have data on my phone and had to navigate using actual directions. No idea if they still do that but I wish all cities had something like it.

Was too bad the Leafs lost, but they put up a helluva fight. The fact that they lost 3 of 4 games in OT, and shots, goals, chances, were pretty close to even, says a lot. I don't think anyone is embarrassed at their showing, and hopefully means good things going forward. Also, it was insane/hilarious how literally everyone abandoned the Jays and Raptors for the Leafs. Went from last year not being able to get Jays tickets for under $40, to $6 lower bowl tickets to games.
