Does your table have a phono preamp built in? If not, you'll need one.
 
And I kind of don't believe you're looking that hard, because there's literally hundreds of cheap powered speakers up on amazon and similar. If they don't have RCA inputs, add a $2 adapter.

I went skating for the first time in a year yesterday. I hit up 3 different parks, and skated all fucking day. I'm so sore I can't even move. Haha.

Ill give you tree fiddy

This thread is getting the lockdown.
 
Sales and advertising of bootleg releases will no longer be tolerated around here. It has not in the past and still won't be. Only reason this thread got allowed to go so long was it was all being kept secret and hush-hush via emails and offsite. Not anymore.
 
Now things have escalated with arguments and general bad/shady business practices.
 
In future...do not post if you're selling bootleg releases. You will be banned permanently from the boards.
 
If a new thread for LEGIT video game OSTs is to be started, go ahead, but it will be watched due to nonsense that has occurred here.

PLEASE KEEP POSTING HERE. THIS IS GETTIN GOOD!!

I'm not meaning to be a Debbie Juaner...but this is the the single-most awesome and selfless thing I've ever seen when it comes to pets and beloved dogs. Bust out the tears. 
 

Morning, kids.
Woke up to new shoes on the doorstep and it's payday.
Not a bad start to the day.

The roommate and I did some hunting. He found Aeges, and I found a Foo Fighters bootleg.

I only cared for Anberlin's first album. Because that's where I stopped.

In response to Madie saying fuck this guy cause he is bulimic. There are lots of reasons to hate this guy, being controlling towards women, molesting kids, but not cause a dude has an eating disorder.

I was going to put this in the poetry thread, but I thought that it wouldn’t hurt to have a separate thread.
 
I teach 3rd grade in a high poverty urban area. In my classroom I teach the kids the craft of poetry, even though it is not a part of our curriculum. I feel it’s an important avenue for them to express their views and to realize how powerful they can be with their words.  This allows even the lowest achieving students to realize success because the focus is on expression rather than mechanics or correct grammar.
One of the experiments I started doing was to play them music by Explosions In The Sky while they were writing. I’d give them the title and let them use the music to influence their writing. Through the years I have collected some good ones and decided to make an anthology of these titles to give to the band. This is the email I got from them:
 
Hey there,
 
This is Chris, the drummer from Explosions in the Sky. Sorry it's taken so long to send you a message, but we just got back from tour recently and there are always a million things to catch up on once we're home. Anyway, I just wanted to thank for giving us the copy of The Season of the Waterfall. We all read the poems and were deeply moved. Not even sure what to say other than that i'm glad that there are people like you helping out and doing things like this. Reading them was not easy. They were beautiful but also incredibly heartbreaking. If there is some way for us to help out, please let me know. Even if its something dumb like sending you a bunch of CDs or something to give to your class. I'm not really sure 3rd and 4th graders would have any interest in meandering, long winded instrumental rock music, but I can't really think of anything else.
 
A lot of people have given us stuff over the years but nothing has compared to this collection of poems. Not even close.
 
Thank you.
 
Sincerely,
Chris

Here are some of the poems. Please keep in mind that I teach them the craft, give them the tools, but this is 100% their writing. I wish I could take credit for what they write, even sometimes steal some of the lines for my own lyrics. I’ve had mothers and fathers in tears as they read their child’s poems.
It amazes me every time I read a new one. These are all using titles from EITS songs.
 
 
The Birth and Death of the Day
 
Death is in the sky and
Light is in the ground.
When people say be gone death
death stays.
It never went and now
it disappeared like fallen warriors.
Light has come back
to the sky.

Our Last Days As Children
 
We used to go to the park together then it was time
to grow up. You are a fashion designer and I
am a doctor. We get off work at 3:00 and see
each other at the buffet and eat and talk about when
we were little and remember times like
when we ate chocolate mint ice cream on Saturdays,
when we played with each other,
when we were friends forever
when we played Bratz and you used to be
Sasha and I would be Cloe,
when we went to each other’s houses and watched
Disney movies,
When we used to talk about ourselves and what
colors we liked. You liked red and I liked pink.
When we played dodgeball and we would be
on the same team and we would run or jump so
we wouldn’t get out, but we would catch the
ball and get other people out,
when we painted each other’s nails,
when we colored each other’s drawings.
when we played soccer and we would win,
during recess we would play four square and
you would be in the A square and I would be in B.
After we talk we start to cry. I miss those things.

The Only Moment We Were Alone
 
I feel dead
dead like nothing
People just pass by like
Nothing
Ghosts being nothing
Laying down being a jerk
Biting ghosts one at a time
Water from
God biting water forever.
-Juan

First anime, now MTG.
If you fuckers start talking about WoW I'm going to be so disappointed.

Any slur. It's 2014. Grow up.

Just wanted to say thanks again for the helpful words last week guys. My wife has managed 4 job interviews for just this week alone after being done so badly like I was explaining the other day. I think the universe was telling her something. I have a huge positive surge in my attitude which is really abnormal for me lol. Sorry to ramble, but just happy and wanted to say it outloud :)

just me and my roommate kickin' it

I'v also just set a mouse trap to kill this fucking mouse thats in Matt and I's apartment.  What am I baiting it with? Bacon, of course.

Put records in boxes. Put boxes in vehicle. Drive?
How hard is that?

Lift with your knees, not your back!

So sorry to hear of your loss, 15 years is a really long time and im pawsitive he loved every second with you. 

music video released for the new single.

Lil Dicky's discography needs to be pressed up.
 
I loved his first mixtape and his new album is pretty fucking hilarious.
