gud

Dont have the time to fill the survey, but the biggest change I have noticed in the recent years is that people are actually playing their records. If you look the threads here made couple of years ago, no one, not even a single person is talking about the sound quality and the pressing quality. Lately this place has turned into a Steve Hoffman music forum. Its a good thing of course. The downside for a lot of people of course is that they have realized how crappy some of the records sound. Some companies made easy money for years with selling CD-s pressed to vinyl. This rarely happens now. The future? Vinyl will be the main physical format and CD-s will be cheap or free promo items only. 

 

Im drunk btw

 

should've just filled out the survey...

 

Thanks for the opportunity to skew the results toward "vinyl will live forever!"

wow - props to the OP who kicked the shit out of this fire ant hill that is Vinyl Collective!

Held off long enough> ordered the merge.

Nice price. Nice band. Nice post.

From your Wants List, it sounds like you only need to go to Peaches Records on N. Peters St.

They're not cheap, but that's anything you buy in the French Quarter.

 

Another good place, besides the ones listed above, is Jim Russell's Records on Magazine. It's good to dig in some crates for a few hours, so only if you have time and an expeditioners costume. Lots of old and rare records in there.

 

Buy some Louisiana Music while you're there... Trombone Shorty, Meters, Galactic, Wild Tchoupitoulas, Dr. John, Crowbar... just to add a few not on your list.

 

<and make sure you eat at Mother's Kitchen at least once while you are there>

i only found a mention of this inside the Black Friday RSD post so i wanted to add more information.

I was looking around the nets for some offbeat xmas tunes this year and discovered this film all about collectors who search for offbeat xmas tunes all the time. How neat!

Plus, it's got some interviews with some pretty interesting fellows.

check it out if it's coming to your town...

more info please?

Just found it.

Oh my brothers!

Ordered the record too.

Oh my other comrades!

 

i don't check this site everyday - but this thread somehow slipped past me.

Good. Shellac does not make music for everyone.

I'm surprised this is on Page 2 already...

 

This is a good day. Can't wait to get it in my hands.

I believe there was an episode of Louie this season that flashes back to Louie's childhood in the 70s. The episode was named "In the Woods." I believe there was a scene where teen Louie and his friend are listening to a record in his friend's room when his older brother comes in, smashes the record, and beats up his younger brother. I don't have a screencap though. 

Yep - and they were rolling joints on a gatefold album cover... which is what gatefolds were made for.

Saw him last night and hoped to pick up a first press. Alas, all he had were CDs.

Hopscotch? what happened there? I heard all kinds of awful things were said on both sides of the monitors...

-IronMan 3 played a christmas record in the beginning... (now it's jumped the shark!)

 

-Billy Bob Thorton's character in FARGO showed back up as a dentist with a very nice collection of LP's that he played at a party.

 

did y'all mention Steve Buscemi in Ghost World? that was 2001...

Seymour is trying to interest a fellow collector in a record he's selling]

Paul: It has a large center hole and a hair crack. Seymour: But the crack is so tight, it's completely inaudible. Paul: But a tight hair crack is just that—a crack. I don't collect cracked records. I only pay premium on mint records. Seymour, you know that. Please. [Paul walks away. Enid, who has been listening, goes up to Seymour] Enid: So, what was all that about enlarged holes and tight cracks?

i remember the first time i heard the end of Shallow Ground and thought my walkman was eating my tape...

but then: Great Purification started.

BLIND! Purple! Ordered!

not a popular thing to say but  i love this album the most.

That's awesome!

I loved that drum track for Wrench & Numbers.

What a great show>

But that price on amazon? ouch.

I just finished this book about 78 collectors and their whole scene, very entertaining quick read. The consensus is that no one will ever have a collection like Bussard or Tefteller again. Even if you had the money, the records simply don't exist. Anyway, highly recommended.

and that's all that i can think of from here...( i left out my broadway musicals )

There's a lot of light behind that LP photo.

Could be a very thin weight pressing.

I just discovered this band. 'Been slowly catching up. I like it so far.

Ever since Breadwinner got reissued for RSD this year, i've been searching for bands like this.

This sounds more like Battles though.

Other bands like Lazur/Wulf and Loincloth have also fallen into my ears lately.

 

Keep it on!

Bring a tour to the States!

lucky duck! I wanted one of those Leprosy slip mats super badly, but couldn't justify the box set!

 

PM me if you want it.

My slipmat was separate from the box itself. Sounds like you just got sent the wrong slipmat.

 

Yep. I emailed Relapse and they've been extremely kind & professional about it.

Said they would ship me a Remission slipmat right away and i could keep the other one.

I <3 Relapse!

i see johnny cash, merle haggards, willie nelsons, queens, random 80's albums and greatest hits, is that a Violent Femmes S/T in the second pic? walt disney's Mousercise?

 

looks like a typical bin at the second-hand book stores.

as said above, maybe .50 to $1 value each if you sell em all to a store. stay strong and don't let it depress you when they say they can't take any of them.

if you want more, you could sell them yourself online and sell them by artist sets.

of course, to get the best value is to keep them all and listen to them. keep the ones you like and listen to them often.

 

2cents

Got mine over the the weekend.

Came with a slipmat, but it wasn't Remission.

It's Death - Leprosy cover art.

Anyone else get this?

I haven't opened the boxset yet, so is the Remission slipmat inside this?

Awesome- I'd like to see what the opaque white/green looks like, but clear w/ white splatter sounds cool too.

 

Anybody going to the Hopscotch show?

Should we pre-order or wait for the merch-table?

 

I just can't wait!

Here's my advice:

Go to a record show. While you're flipping through old classic rock and roll records, keep your ears open for a guy to sell one of the owners a copy of Nirvana's Incesticide for $25. Then when he leaves, ask the owner if you can buy it from him for $25. Then when you open it and realize that it's the original blue swirl, you run out of the hotel as fast as you can.

That's what i did.
