  1. I didn't know about the Friday thing. I was wondering why the Tame Impala release date was a Friday. Now it's starting to make sense. I'd actually rather have stuff come out on a Friday. Pay day and I have all weekend to listen to it.
  2. From Record Store Day's Facebook: Despite what you may have read on blog and website posts with inaccurate headlines, Record Store Day is not "about to go weekly". Record Store Day, the third Saturday in April, is and will remain a special celebration of the independent record store, with limited edition, exclusive releases on vinyl, CD and other formats as one part of that party. Record Store Day, the organization of volunteers who work year-round to spread the word about indie record stores, will continue to do just that, and one way is with what we're calling Vinyl Tuesday. (Yes, we gave it a name because a name and logo go a long way towards getting things publicized in this world we live in). Recently, a group of people, mostly outside the US, decided that physical music releases would start coming on Fridays, globally. (For the record, a global streetdate makes sense, but for a lot of valid reasons, which were outlined to this group, many retailers and others affected by this think Friday is the wrong day.) Vinyl Tuesday is a way for us to encourage artists, labels, distributors and managers to continue to release physical music on Tuesdays when they can. This allows physical retailers to have something fresh to sell and to talk about during the week, and lets those releases not just get lost on the increasingly crowded Friday/weekend. To clarify: we are not planning on having limited edition exclusives created every Tuesday. We are working to have titles continue to be released on Tuesday when they can be. (Lots of those titles are already scheduled to come out, now they'll just come on a Tuesday.) One Vinyl Tuesday may see a reissue that was already in the works being given a Tuesday streetdate. An album whose CD component has already come out might see its vinyl coming on a Vinyl Tuesday. There will be some indie exclusive titles, of course, because those already exist throughout the year, but a lot of Vinyl Tuesday releases will be given a Tuesday street date at all retailers who sell physical media. Every Vinyl Tuesday will be different, will be made up of different kinds of physical releases. What they'll have in common is the day of the week. It's really a pretty simple thing, and it's definitely not a weekly Record Store Day. But it is in line with what we do all year long already, which is to promote and support indie record stores.
  3. Also, I'd upgrade the cart before the platter. It will make a bigger difference. I always have trouble moving the belt from 45 to 33. Not a big deal though.
  4. My theory was putting Built to Spill labels on a random blue record. But I suppose Photoshop would be easier.
  5. I know for the Father John Misty demo cassette they did the strike though the text once it was gone.
  6. I'm not going to lie. I'm having a hard time getting into this one as much as their past ones. Maybe after a few more listens.
  7. This. I was on the fence about pre-ordering, but this made my decision easier.
  8. Verdict on the sound quality of the vinyl?
  9. Is it me or are all of the comments on Instagram of people getting their records VERY similar. Along the lines of "I just got my first shipment. Can't wait to give it a spin. Shout out to whoever the hell "curated" my records for the awesome picks!" Followed by about 50 hash tags.
  10. Guarantee the comment saying how awesome VNYL looks works at VNYL. Probably trying to create Buzz.
  11. Every album except Origin of Symmetry, which IMHO is perfect!
  12. This band always seems to get off my radar. And then when I re-discover them I remember how awesome they are! They need to press Out of the Fierce Parade
  13. That Yeasayer record in the top picture gives them cred.
  14. Yeah. 2013 maybe? I think that was the first time in vinyl in the US.
  15. It has all the elements of a good Muse song. The piano, the synth. It's just not quite there though.
  16. Price could come down between now and July. Good Amazon doesn't charge before it ships.
  17. I got mine with the Grado Black1. I really like it. You might want to just shoot their customer service an email. They seem to be on top of what carts work well. I think some carts require some extra weight got be added to the back of the arm. Yes. My TT before mine was the LP60 and it sounds so much better. Well worth the upgrade. Just make sure you have a pre-amp or a receiver with a pre-amp because the Orbit doesn't have one built in like the LP60.
  18. I see your in Australia so I'm not sure if it's different. But anytime I've got a bad pressing from Amazon they've made it right by either refunding or replacing it. Most of the time without having me return the defective copy.
  19. I got my replacements today. Look and play good. Both of mine have a Side B label on it though.
  20. I don't get it. His replacement was warped or they are upset about the plain white sleeves?
  21. It also looks like the person who submitted the Blue to Discogs admitted not having it.
  22. Looks like Bull Moose has pre-order up (No mention of color so I'm assuming just standard black version) for $23. http://www.bullmoose.com/p/19619858/tame-impala-currents
