As previously said, if you have a car, take road trips to VT and ME. VT is just a stunningly beautiful state and Burlington is a great little city. Great beer there too! 

Maine is amazing in the summer, but yes, Portland is pretty damn cool and Bullmoose is a great store to check out. 

If you happen to be an ice cream nut, you are in the right place as New Englanders are crazy for ice cream! Look up a place called Kimball's in Westford. The mecca of ice cream IMHO! There is a tiny little record store right down the road in Littleton that is worth checking out. Run by a young guy and his mom. Nice folks!

Even if you don't like baseball much, Fenway park is awesome, unique and very historical. The Sox are pretty good this year too, so that helps. 

Also, FWIW, the band Overcast is from Milford. Dudes that went on to Shadows Falls and Killswitch Engage of course.

Having a copy of Year of the Rabbit's S/T on vinyl would be choice. Definitely an underrated album.

Yes! They were very good live too! Ken can do no wrong, for the most part! 

The first group of the four self titled sound amazing, this round is a no brainer! 

They posted yesterday on their FB that they had some leftover copies for $45 in their merch store. Tempting, but I didn't to it.

I looked just now and they still seem to have it, but for $110! WTF!

Dude that Spacehog album is soooo solid to this day!

I agree. Worth it for "Zeroes" alone. They were quite good live in the 90's too. 

I spent the least two weeks plus getting through all 117 pages of this topic. It wasn't easy, but it spurred me to make my own list. Here's my 2¢: 

7% Solution - All About Satellites and Spaceships

7% Solution - Gabriel's Waltz

Big Wreck - Albatross

Big Wreck - In Loving Memory Of...

Bill Frisell ‎– Have A Little Faith

Blindside - Silence

Candiria - 300% Density

Candiria - What Doesn't Kill You...

Chroma Key - You Go Now

Chroma Key ‎– Dead Air For Radios

Chroma Key ‎– Graveyard Mountain Home

Codeseven - Dancing Echoes/Dead Sounds

Hammock - Departure Songs

He is Legend - Suck Out the Poison

Killswitch Engage - Alive or Just Breathing

Kiln - Dusker

King's X - Black Like Sunday

King's X - Dogman

King's X - Ear Candy

King's X - Ogre Tones

Morphine ‎– Bootleg Detroit

Morphine ‎– Like Swimming

Morphine ‎– The Night

October Project - S/T

Ours - Distorted Lullabies

Powerman 5000 - Mega!! Kung Fu Radio

Project 86 ‎– Drawing Black Lines

Rainbow Butt Monkeys - Letters From Chutney

Replicants - S/T

Seemless - S/T

Seemless - What Have We Become

Snot - Get Some

Spacehog - Resident Alien

Steve Vai ‎– Real Illusions: Reflections

Stompbox - Stress

The Fire Theft - S/T

The Tea Party - The Interzone Mantras

The Tea Party - Triptych

Toad The Wet Sprocket - Coil

Year of the Rabbit - S/T

BOLD = previously mentioned that I can remember.

I'd say that Our Lady Peace is the band most wanted in the topic. As Cities Burn is also, but that is currently happening. Snot - Get Some & KSE - AOJB may be the most popular titles wanted. I've been told that KSE - AOJB will happen, but exactly when is hard to say. Many requests for Ours - Distorted Lullabies too. Overall a good read and made me think of titles I hadn't thought of before. 

The OG's of the first two sounds amazing, so hopefully the represses will sound just as good for those needing these.

Such a killer album. The vinyl sounds great too. Good luck in your search!

This is happening as well:

THE NEW YORK CITY RECORD & CD SHOW
THIS Saturday February 20th, 10am-4pm
 

Holiday Inn
440 West 57th St (between 9th & 10th Aves)
New York City, NY

More info can be had by googling the show.

Gotta wave the flag for more represses from The Tea Party, some of which were never pressed to vinyl to begin with, such as Triptych ('99) or The Interzone Mantras ('01).

Past those two, I'd happily buy Rainbow Butt Monkeys - Letters from Chutney ('95) if it ever was pressed to vinyl. Snowballs chance in the Northwest Territories of that though. That band went on to become Finger Eleven, fwiw.

Anyone have a favorite track yet? Mine is "Echo and Abyss". This album is a beast IMHO! Just can't get enough.

yeah. just northeast a bit. i think Lawrence is so amazing and totally blows the stereotypical "Kansas is crappy" statement clear out of the water. best record store in the area but my journeys there are less frequent. 3-4 times a month to 3-4 times a year.

Lived in Olathe, before moving to NY a bunch of years ago, so I know what you mean. Bought my OG copy of Mad Season at Love Garden when they were still in the old space. Great store though. I miss that place.

caspian is playing 40 mins from me and I'm at home because of life happening. story of my life as something always seems to just kick me in the wedding tackle.

That means you live somewhere near Lawrence? Love that town, just wish it were elsewhere.

Sorry you aren't making the show. They were amazing when I saw them here in Brooklyn.

So...Bensonhurst?

No, Boerum Hill. You?

Very infrequent poster here. Mostly at DF.

Anyway, been reading this thread since last week and nobody here has talked about the misspress of the 180g Black/400, to my surprise. According to the label and Hello, many copies of this were shipped with two A/B sides and no C/D. I didn't experience this, but did get one with a visual nick, that translated into a tick on the A side in the first track. Total bummer. Totally amazing album regardless!

Also, anyone else notice this record sounding very flat tonally? I had to crank the treble in a way I don't normally... on anything else.

Lastly, do you dudes listen to your records or just talk about variants endlessly? Sure looks that way, if you read this thread from the beginning! Not bashing, but seems odd.

Yes, that album slays, but really is hard to get. Not really loved by all FNM fans, just so damn good though. Was made bit by bit with Pro-tools. Good luck in your search.

Again, depending on the kind of stuff you are after but...

Generation is good. Not as good as it use to be, but not bad. The used selection has dwindled a bit recently.

Bleecker St. is too pricey.

Academy on E. 12th St. is my personal favorite. Not as picked over at the one in Brooklyn.

If you have the patience to dig, A-1 Records @ 439 East 6th Street is worth the work. They were selling stuff cheap up until sometime last year and then caught on. Got ATDI's - Vaya there last year for like $4. My friend got In Casio/Out (since I passed on it) for about $10. It's hit and miss, but still worth it.

Good Records NYC @ 218 East 5th Street is a cool little joint. Kinda hidden, but way low key. Only open like Th-Sun I think.

Other Music. Great if you are looking for new or shit you never heard of. Hence the name.

Either way, enjoy. Not the best city for record shopping, but not bad I guess.

The prices sure aren't, that is for sure. Nice list though.

Damn, so hoped you were selling some. Need some Cows stuff!
