These are joke posts, right?

Dave Grohl is the rock star I'd most want to hang with.

His band is maddeningly mediocre, though.

ZZZZ kind of came at things from a different direction entirely, but are/were a great band. Their drummer Greg was in Chin Up Chin Up as well.

Steve was in a band called the Early Risers as well, but i'm not sure if they ever produced more than a demo CDr.

the most brilliant and exquisitely talented MC in the history of everything, Doseone.

Let's not get crazy here.

The New Adventures In Hi-Fi is an incredible album that is sorely underrated.

Probably the only thing Heisel has ever posted on this board (or possibly ever said in his lifetime) that I agree with.

This is my favorite band of all time. Sad news but 31 years is remarkable. Their output from 1982-1988 (album a year and constant touring) is unmatched. They had some ups (Automatic For the People) and downs (Around the Sun) after that but for the most part their music remained quality. Their newest LP is quite good as well. Farewell R.E.M. and thanks for everything.

I agree with this. I'd add "Up" to the ups (underrated.)

Should have been 311 breaking up instead.

You are in it for the wrong reasons. You'll be collecting Beanie Babies or some shit next year.

The Kickstarter should provide a longer, more concise description. The more well thought out the proposal is, the more likely people are to pledge.

LOL at OCA dude giving advice on how to put out a record.

Can you fill us in on how this ended up costing you $18K or whatever?

Where is the Inner Strength repress?

Gimmickcore...

...because the music is not enough.

But in that case why buy records at all? Unless your average vinyl enthusiast prefers the sound from his Crosley to the sound from his ipod. I'd say the visual factor is among the top reasons for buying vinyl. And a part of that visual factor is vinyl color.

Trying to decide if this is THE stupidest thing I have read on this board, or only one of the stupidest things.

Awesome. That violin player really makes this band what it is.

Solid record. Don't need another copy, though, much less three.

Don't listen to these people. You are going to fuck up your records.

Anytime you expose records to outside air, they should be packaged individually in mailers. Pull each record out of the jacket and the sleeve. Put the sleeve back inside the jackets. Make sure to tape any insert to the inside of the jacket, because it may get damaged if it slides around.

Make sure to let your car run for a good 30 minutes with the air conditioner on 3 (not 4.) That will normalize the air in the car. Do NOT put any records in the car prior to the normalization of the air. I repeat: Do NOT put any records in the car prior to the normalization of the air.

When you get to your new place make sure to run a radon test. You do not want high radon levels, or the vinyl will degenerate in a matter of hours.

Hope that helps.

This is the most sensible thread I have read on this board.

I was over at Stormfront about a week ago trying to find a thread that talks about their opinion on Prussian Blue saying they aren't racist anymore. No luck, though.

That signed ICP album is the best thing Travis has posted on this board.

MMFCL

I sincerely hope that the OP is no more than 15 years old.

are you really telling me there is nothing valuable in your collection that you have devoted "love and care" to, that you wouldn't try to sell for a profit in the future if you need it?

What does that even mean? Records sit on my shelf until I want to listen to them. Then I listen to them. I love and care for my wife.

i mean really, isn't that why we collectors suck the dicks of our records, so they'll be worth something when we need it?

Fuck no. I "collect" records because I love music, and I think records are the superior format. "We collectors" should stick to Beanie Babies and quit fucking up the market for records.

VC - I blame you for this couple and their shitty "label." This drama has all of the individual bad ideas prevalent on this board wrapped up in one nice shiny package.

Great movie.

This is awesome. Is anyone surprised the Kickstarter/licensing mentality has led to this?

man you guys are rad. just tryin to do some promotion for some friends. oh well.

Your friends obviously suck. Quit promoting them.

in hxc, pop/rock, some of the best bands imo are christian (UO, TDWP, norma jean, relient k, copeland, anberlin, switchfoot).

You have just discredited any opinion you have on music.
