I would love to see "A Different Light" pressed.
agreed, also went with the record and the shirt. Figured I'd get the record, and my wife can get the shirt nice trade off.
-
what a shitty price.
-
I use the sleeve city diskeepers for my 12" records so I'd imagine its the same quality as the 7" or 10" versions. And I would say the sleeves themselves are comparable to MoFi sleeves.
-
Yeah I have the same one as well. #onesizefitsmost

For those who have have been hoping amazon would have an acrylic platter via prime, now is your chance. Two places just posted a bunch up on amazon with prime shipping. $125, not a discount but it's available on amazon and I know people have been looking.

Musicians Friend just sent me an email with a code for 20% off! and it worked on the Debut Carbon without even having to call them. my life just got really awesome.
Too bad you didn't know about Ebates. You could have gotten another 4% back or $15.96. Not huge deal but something more. Still a great deal that you got.

Just picked up Deschutes Not The Stoic and Only Child School's Out tonight at the store. Looking forward to trying these.

Yeah, Lakefront just put out an India Session Ale and it's pretty alright. Definitely will give it a go on some 90 degree July day. ALSO, HERE'S A THING! Normally I'm not too big on mixing juice into beer, BUT IPA WITH A SPLASH OF GRAPEFRUIT JUICE! TRY IT! IT'S FUCKING GREAT!
Yeah I saw that the other day, and almost pulled the trigger just because it was vinyl related haha. But decided to hold off until the beer fridge goes down some.

120 is a different beast than the other Minute IPAs just saying. Its more like a barleywine...
-
This is probably your best bet:
I've not order from them, but I've heard good things. Plus you wouldn't be breaking the bank too much $6.99 for 25 7" sleeves or 10 10" sleeves
-
Looks like Canada...a bit further away than Georgia.

Based on the on paper info they'll work well together. Whether or not it sounds the best it possibly can will be what your ears think. If that's where you're leaning I'd say go for it, if you have the ability to go to a store and test them out that would be the best option, if not I think you'd be alright with them
-
I'm guessing they're asking about the records sleeves. I really want to buy some of these pedals. I'm considering the Praise Jesus, and the Yeti Bite. Both sound pretty cool when considering using it on a bass.
-
sold something list updated.
-
Ever since the update I've noticed that my level bar is full constantly whether it says 15 or 1500. I think they are still working in that when you hit the max for that level you will gain a level (I have), but the counter is messed up because the bar shows as full always.
Yeah mine is the same way.

Ice for a bit, Heat for a bit. Rinse and repeat.

For other things you're confused on you can go here for future reference:

If they were going for a deluxe release of Futures I think that would be cool to include disc 2 of deluxe cd.

II. AMPLIFICATION
Integrated Amplifier
It is a combination of two basic components: a preamp and a power amp, in one box. A preamp has a similar job to the phono preamp, but is not to be considered the same/an alternative. The preamp stage within the integrated amplifier provides the selection between inputs and adds a volume control. It also adds tone controls, equalization and other similar features, depending on the model. The power amp section can be thought of as kind of a signal multiplier. It amplifies the signal, received from the preamp section, by a fixed factor. It is like a big power boost, providing speakers with a suitable level signal.
Receiver
It is essentially an integrated amplifier with added features. Vintage receivers usually only added an analog tuner to the box. In 70s and early 80s they were the most common choice of hi-fi enthusiasts, which resulted in their reign both in budget segment as well as higher class equipment. Today, many more features are added, from simple stereo receivers with tuners, ipod docks and wireless connectibility to multichannel beasts with more connections than Aristotle Onassis. The quality, especially in the budget segment, suffers.
A general rule of thumb: In the same price range, a modern receiver will sound vastly inferior to a modern integrated amp. Always.
Vintage vs. Modern (and New vs. Used)
It is a similar story as with turntables. Buying vintage can be a no-brainer, IF you know what you’re getting. In 30 years of use, many of the parts can be ruined by improper handling. After 30 years many parts stop working properly simply due to age. There are experts, who open and “refresh” such equipment before selling it, but it also reflects in the price tag. Still, there is no guarantee that a capacitor won’t die twelve days after you bring it home. In this regard, buying new is again the safest bet.
Buying used modern amplification however is a bit less risky than with turntables. While equipment can still be broken by people with no concept of basic rules of using electronics, such faults are much easier to spot and, frankly, much harder to produce. In my opinion, if you need to cut corners to stay under budget, looking for used modern amplification is the place to start.
Pre-amp/Power Amp combo
If you’re looking for one, you probably don’t need my poor attempt at explaining them. Good for you!
Amplification – Setting up & Use
Setting up your amplification is a much more straightforward process.
Connecting everything
As already described in the turntable set up section, if you're using a phono preamp, just connect the RCA outputs on that preamp to any RCA input connections on your amp/receiver. If you're using an amp/receiver with a phono input, connect the cable running from your turntable to the PHONO input connections on your amp/receiver. Don't forget to connect the grounding wire to the specified binding post as well. This is pretty much it.
Use
-Make sure you always connect everything BEFORE powering on your amp/receiver. A lot of amplifiers and speakers get fried because people aren't following this rule.
-Always turn the volume all the way down BEFORE powering on your amp/receiver.
-You should also turn the volume all the way down before selecting different inputs.

Marlins lose Jose Fernandez and replace him with Randy Wolf. yikes.
Whoa..Randy Wolf is still around? I thought he might have died.
-
Friday Night Lights should have lasted longer in my opinion. I love that show.
It could have, but I think it ran its course. Definitely had an end to the show.
-
randomly Jimmy Eat World just tweeted that they have a few openings in their clan, which is run by Zach Lind their drummer.

im glad they're at elast getting a short season to wrap everything up. gotta admit, the writers for that show have thrown literally every single stereotype into that family. they're not missing anything are they? biracial family with a child, cancer survivor, family with child on the autism spectrum who befriends an older man who turns out to also be on the spectrum who falls for the childs aunt, a struggling marriage, an adoption, deadbeat dad, single mom with 2 children, a teen pregnancy AND abortion, military boyfriend and the most recent stereotype, lesbian daughter! I honestly cant think what else they could throw at this family!
All so true...but all soo good.
Milwaukee Thread (for Rad)

Just going to say this...Milwaukee Brewing Company is a way more fun tour especially if you go with friends. $10, Pint glass you use the entire time, unlimited samplings(ie full pints) for about 2 hours or until they kick you out for the next group of people, humorous tour guides. Plus you get a token to get a free drink off a list of like 30 places. Plus like Lakefront their beer is really good.
