Epitaph Store Tuesday (Turner, Trio, Descendents)
harryq replied to karlsincharge's topic in Vinyl Collective Message Board
Try cleaning it first, sometimes there's quite a bit of junk from the pressing. If that doesn't do it, you might have to do a little adjustment to the set up. I'm not going to lie, my record player is probably pretty crappy (I don't think there's anything to adjust), and I did make an attempt to "clean" (i.e., "brush") the record, but I don't think that was the issue (the record looks fine). My record player does play the "Suffer" and "No Control" records perfectly fine (as well as the large majority of my record collection), but I can't listen to this record without it skipping every few seconds. -

not to be bringing this type of thing up again, but has anyone listened to their Against the Grain records yet? mine skips really, really bad... I haven't email karl yet, but I just wanted to see what the situation was in other news, the vinyl looks really yellow -
HOT TOPIC CLEARANCE VINYL THREAD - UPDATED 12/6/11
harryq replied to travis's topic in Vinyl Collective Message Board
I don't know anything for sure, but at least one time I know that they have sent stuff over to Ridgedale Mall (I remember seeing two copies of Nine Inch Nails' "Y34RZ3R0R3M1X3D" that the packaging was absolutely torn to shreds. Two weeks later, I found them both in the clearance section at Ridgedale during the 1/2 off clearance sale). Maybe they're managed by the same people and they have more space for clearance? I don't know, but I hope to make it out there later today to check it out... Edit: They certainly had more than moa, but not a ton. I got Radiohead's "Ok Computer", which was unmarked, but they do actually have a clearance section. -
which lawrence arms records were those? clear ghost stories with the old people on the cover and...? (I was late to the game...) and sadly enough, I'd probably be buying this to listen to because for whatever reason (bad luck or bad record player), my copies of ghost stories and guided tour both skip like crazy on the b-side...

I emailed karl yesterday about it, but he hasn't responded... I'm assuming he was annoyed and I should just be patient, but all of my patience is absorbed by awaiting grad school decisions, so I'll just keep refreshing this page and my email. EDIT: if you look at the product page now (http://www.kingsroadmerch.com/epitaph-records/view/?id=1028&artist=154), it no longer makes a mention of the first 100 being autographed (which suggests to me that more than 100 have been ordered and hopefully that if you ordered prior to this, you'll get an autographed copy) also the bad religion 7" is back up -

I keep looking to see if the big bundle will disappear or something, as I just want some reassurance that I'm in the first 100. I will say that I'm glad that everything is reasonably priced, but yeah, it's certainly different. -

nice... I've always wanted to make an eBay account just to put up posts where I'm selling things like this and say in the description "sure, you could buy it at [insert website here] for $10, but why not pay more?", but this seems like a much more effective way, especially if you wait until the records they are buying are sold out to cancel the order... -

hey, karl, is the packaging for the 7" the same as the previous press? -

1111, and since I can't think of any clever jokes, I'll use a stats joke one of my friends told me: What's the limit of a statistician as personality goes to 0? A mathematician...! And no, my grandma would have no clue what I was talking about and probably thinks I'm one of them... -
1/2 off clearance sale at Hot Topic
harryq replied to harryq's topic in Vinyl Collective Message Board
I'm quite pleased with both the Killers one and the Manson one (granted, I don't have a great setup or anything). My Manson record was a little warped from the box, but nothing that a little squeezing between other records couldn't fix... -
I'm not sure what vinyl is on clearance at Hot Topic, but those collectible vinyl + shirt sets were. They aren't listed on the site anymore, but I did see the Rolling Stones set available earlier today, so I'd imagine all of the other sets are only ~$8 in-store as well.

interesting... -
Why the hell do they do that? To prevent stealing? who steals LPs? that would be my guess... it seems like a fairly bad part of town (it is next to a saddle shop, which is never a good sign), so maybe something has happened in the past.

last time I was at extreme noise, I believe they were listening to a comedy vinyl (not sure who it was, but it was enjoyable to listen to... and EXTREME!)... I just wish they had more records that I wanted, because I'd love to support them. I can't say that I like how they open all of the records and just have cardboard in the sleeves on display (makes me feel like I'm buying used records instead of new), but I understand why they do it...

If you havent already check out Zonk records
harryq replied to halfasspunkshow's topic in Vinyl Collective Message Board
I really don't mean to make enemies or anything, but this thread has 18 replies (not counting this one), the majority of which are criticizing the zonk guy for spamming. Is it just me, or are you all contributing to his "spamming" by constantly saying "hey, dude, you're spamming" (sorry for paraphrasing) and such, thus bumping this thread about checking out Zonk Records further up the front page of the message board (which is only helping his cause and probably further angering the other people who are criticizing him for spamming because it won't just go away)? Also, I realize that this isn't the only thread that he's started recently (I counted 5), but I doubt that this is the first time someone has posted multiple threads advertising multiple sales (though, again, I realize that this particular thread isn't really advertising anything new, not to mention you could probably group all 4 of those threads into one "sale" thread and update the subject to include the new records that are included in the sale, but oh well), so why is everyone jumping on him? Now, if he's done this like 40 times before and I just haven't paid attention (I've overlooked lots of threads for lots of record labels/stores), then disregard this comment, but if not, can't we just let this issue rest and all go yell at that "Virgil" guy--he posted like 20 threads in one day last week. Talk about spamming... : In the meantime, I'm going to sit back and watch my Karma get further away from being neutral... *sigh* -

that's too bad, I've had nothing but great experiences with Interpunk... hopefully they make it up to you (for your own benefit) -

Color vinyl collector sets 50% off at Hot Topic
harryq replied to rocknroll76's topic in Vinyl Collective Message Board
you are correct, it's attached, and yes, it does rather suck... I plan on buying some new sleeves for these (right now I'm just storing them between extra packing cardboard things on my shelf...). If you're good with a box cutter (or even if you're not), you could cut the cover off the box and have a shiny, flimsy sleeve with artwork... -
Color vinyl collector sets 50% off at Hot Topic
harryq replied to rocknroll76's topic in Vinyl Collective Message Board
if anyone is a huge gnr fan (and who isn't?), they should buy the Appetite For Destruction box set AND the regular vinyl that hot topic also has, and then do some sort of comparison test, because honestly, in this holiday season, it's "the perfect gift for yourself... or the mega Axl fan in your life!" (did anyone else read all of those descriptions for these on the hot topic website? my favorites are "the mega-Undead fan in your life!" and "the mega-Antichrist Superstar fan in your life!" everyone needs an undead and/or antichrist superstar fan in their life...)
