yeah, the dual's are solidly engineered tables that last forever. I mean, the one i used in the video is 40 years old. Got it for 15 bucks at the Salvation Army, and it just worked, dust and grime and all...

The dual 1210 turntable. I don't know if they still build them this way, but it's impressive. The album spinning is my LNOYL record... http://vimeo.com/user4073577/turntable-with-white-vinyl k

Absolutely; join us for beers at the next ottawa show! k

What a great response! Thanks for the comments on the album; We'll have more free promo stuff to go in early June - I'll announce it on our blog (http://www.lnoyl.com/blog/)! The records will ship out this thursday! k

I've got 10 free promo copies of my latest record. This record is good shit (http://www.hour.ca/music/spin.aspx?iIDDisque=5991). Here's the idea: pick one song off of the album. You can download the whole thing for free here: http://www.lnoyl.com/order/ If you dig it, say something about the song you picked (tweet, facebook, blog, or whatever) and tell em where they can download it free. The record is yours. Obviously, I'm hoping to reach new fans of this style of music and it's cool if it's not your thing - the price it right though, ain't it? I'll ship it to anywhere in North America. If you're outside of that, help me out with the shipping ok? Email (thelastnightofyourlife at gmail dot com) if you're interested. 10 free copies I've got this month - first come, first served! The vinyl and packaging is pretty sweet and looks like this: http://www.flickr.com/photos/lnoyl/sets/72157623883746017/show/ The test press sounded like this: K

Thrift store turntables can be amazing. If you check regularly you'll find the turntable/console system that grandpa bought back in the day for a fair amount of money, and kept in pretty good condition. Look for the older dual systems. I got this system pictured here for 25 bucks during a half price sale: http://www.flickr.com/photos/lnoyl/sets/72157623883746017/show/ It needed some minor work, but sounds huge.

Fuck punk..this is all I listen to (I wonder how many will make it through this video???): Go to 2:10...Cage keeps it real...The composition starts at 5:40 That was cool; ahead of the pack for his time it seems. The audience doesn't know how to react - so they assume it's comedy, and laugh. Wrong audience for that guy, but I guess back then getting on TV was the mother of all advertising.

you can get master laquers pressed in Toronto, but the last replication plant i was aware of went belly up...they were in Quebec. I saw that ad as well - when you go to their website, there is zero information on pressing, which gives me the initial impression that they are a broker for a pressing plant... oh yeah, save extra for shipping and taxes for importing at the border. It's not a big deal, but it will easily run between one and two grand for those things right there, for an order of 1000 12" records. Also, look at the fine print with some of the pressing plants in the US. Some of them are cool, while others will do things like charging several hundred dollars just to ship test pressings to you. Not for the manufacture of the test pressings, just to put 5 records in a box and ship them to Canada!!! Like it's 1987 and the CND dollar is worth nothing!!!

agreed....the packaging, and artwork often looked like an afterthought, or something put together by committee. A fair bit of those records were recorded in amazing rooms, and they sound quite good sonically.

Thanks man; I got some of those sounds by amping up a cello and trying to blow it up through a speaker! kris

Ha haa. Actually, you've given me a great idea - Im gonna be a beatnik for halloween this year.

blanketbyday is correct...it's a test press of my first record; i've called it the "last night of your life". It was pretty cool spinning it for the first time...I really didn't know what to expect. I had my mixes mastered for vinyl, sent it away for plating and here it is at last!
