^ Great review! I am hoping to pick one of these up next week.

If anyone wants to sell or trade their magenta copy, let me know! Missed that variant and need it for my TF collection.

I have been meaning to grab one of those clamps as well. I have a handful of minor warped records that skip due to it not being flat down on the platter. The YouTube video review I saw was great and the price isn't bad at all.

Dang that is so rad you're doing this! Too bad I never really listened to the Foo Fighters. Hopefully you'll find someone to take here who loves them as much as you! Best friend that dude who does though.

Discogs has a listing for a black 180g version, that says is from the US. Anyone know anything about it? Asian man only has the white and blue listed on their site. I'd love a heavy copy of this album, not digging how my white copy sounds.

It was a UK exclusive color. There is also a transparent green w/black splatter variant that is UK exclusive as well.

Grabbed the white copy! I might pick up one of the splatter variants later on.

Figured this would be the best place to put this...

My friend and tattooer, Chaz Otto, has a shirt for sale with a sick design of his. I love his work and a couple tattoos by him (many more to come). Here's the link with purchase info: https://instagram.com/p/5iGz57vSmX/

Chaz is my boy! He has done a ton of work on me every time he comes up to Portland. I'm glad he is getting these shirts printed.

My go to hot sauce is Secret Aardvark! I love that stuff and it's made in Portland as well so I can get it for like 5 bucks a bottle.

Honestly, sriracha is only good on Chinese food.

I really like this golden habanero hot sauce called Iguana hot sauce. I'm not really a fan of hot sauces that taste too much like vinager.

Just read that the jacket will be die cut as well! Also, I will be seeing them tomorrow night

I'm gonna go for the splatter! That sounds so rad

Thanks! Rempe is awesome. He used to work at Hold it Down with Josh. Thinking he is moving back to the west coast next month.

Just gave the dude a follow. I'll have to keep an eye out incase he guests anywhere in the NW.

^ So rad!

After over a year of getting it sorted i'm finally booked in with Samuele Briganti when he's over here in August / September. I cannot fucking wait. Let hope I can endure the pain of getting my calf smashed for hours on end!

So jealous dude! I absolutely love his work. Can't wait to see what you get

I really like those Title Fight songs they did

Buying new speakers within the next month or so and I was eyeing the 10.1s since they are $300 on amazon. Now I can't decide whether to throw in the extra $50 for the 220s.

I bought a pair of demo 220s off Music Direct not too long ago. They were $279 shipped and even though they were demos, they look and sound flawless! I really really like them. But again, I haven't heard the 10.1s though. The only thing I'd say that lacks is probably the bass. Not too much though, just me pointing a weakness. I also have them plugged into a Marantz PM6005 amp.

I sure wish BTR were doing the vinyl preorders. Merchnow could just have those silly shirt/skateboard bundles. Ohh well, I'll just wait for Amazon or HT just like most of you.

My blue copy sounds great. Just had a chance to listen to it. Honestly I didn't even mind the gaps between the songs. Didn't bother me at all.

So exited to see them next month!

I live about an hour from Hold It Down in Richmond. Love Josh's stuff. Been meaning to get something from him.

I have my knee done by him as well. But I would get so many tattoos by him if I lived near Hold It Down. The dude has so many great music suggestions and stories. Especially all the bands in the Scranton / Wilkes Barre area.

I just wandered on that dude's Instagram today. Super cool stuff. Does he travel a lot?

Not too much. He does a few guest spots here and there but mostly he works in Richmond, VA. He comes to Portland once a year though so that's tight.

Just got a few from Josh Stephens. He made a trip out to Portland again! This time I got my elbow done and a title fight tattoo.

I haven't done this upgrade, but I saw some IKEA LED strips a few days ago and they looked like they would work well. They are flexible and have an adhesive backing so they would stick well to the base of the turntable. The set I saw also had a dial that would switch the colors. I think the set was around $30?

I got the RX8s for $800 locally. I would have preferred RX6s but they seem harder to come by.

Not bad! I have yet to see anything from the RX line for sale locally. It's usually just a lot of Polk and Paradigm products.

There was a white pair on eBay for $250 a few days ago. They seem to be easy to come by for around $300.

Yeah the pair I saw sold for 215 shipped but they were kinda beat and the tweater had been replaced. But I really do like those floorspeakers so I'll keep an eye out for those.

There was a cheap set of used RX1s on Audiogon last month back but I opted for the Wharfedale 220s instead. I should have snagged them though.
