this I figured it out just fine. I just wanted to make sure that I had figured it out correctly before I put the needle down and fucked something up. And I don't troll. Mostly because I have better things to do than sit in my basement feeling about how much better I am than that dumbass who had the nerve to ask a question about how to play a non-standard record, but other reasons too. I'm not a self-righteous dick being pretty high on that list of reasons.

Y'all are a bunch of dicks. May you rot in your basements as you cling to your superiority complexes due to your record playing prowess.

I've been able to snag a copy of Sigur Ros' European RSD release. It says that it plays "Inside out". Do I play it exactly the same way as a standard record except placing the stylus in the middle of the record rather than the outside? I just don't want to mess it up by assuming.

Rockabye Baby (The Smiths) Ricky Skaggs and Tony Rice The Civil Wars (CD) Mastodon/Flaming Lips I also picked up Steven Wilson and both Sigur Ros albums on eBay. I overpaid for all of them, but I needz 'em!

My local record shop had about 250 people waiting in line before the shop opened, and all of the records the shop received were gone in less than 2 hours except for a handful of 7s. I got one LP I wanted (Ricky Skaggs and Tony Rice), but missed out on all of the rest (Civil Wars 7", Steven Wilson, Sigur Ros, Branford Marsalis), and 1 CD (The Civil Wars - Live at Amoeba). I was also able to snag the Mastodon/Flaming Lips 7" and got a Rockabye Baby album (The Smiths). I bucked up and already eBayed what I really wanted, even though I'm paying a whole lot for them. Because I NEEDZ DEM!!

well of course i'm excited about these 2 lol i thought that was a givin my Heritage box set is already on the way! Unfortunately, Heritage sucks. It was BY FAR my most highly anticipated album for me this year, and it disappointed like I thought Opeth never could. The Hunter is awesome, however.

Call 'em up. Send an email. Use whatever means are available to contact them and see where the hold-up is.

Yeah, that's bullshit. Drill/punch a big enough hole, for fuck's sake.

I love gatefold packaging, especially if the lyrics are printed inside. MUCH better than an insert. I like sittle there with a coffee table book sized gatefold to read my lyrics/liner notes.

No download card or CD with new releases. Shitty inner sleeves (Shitty being defined as crappy paper sleeves or sleeves that are too tight and I have to force a record in/out causing scuffs) Represses sans original gatefold (for those that originally had gatefolds).

i have 3 kids, and tomorrow i will have a wife. i still don't see my collection (as a whole) going anywhere soon. i'll still sell stuff i don't listen to anymore, only to quickly replace with something better. i plan on willing it to the child that enjoys it the most. hoping they take good care of it and don't sell everything the week daddy dies. I've always been serious about music, but never serious about my music collection until AFTER I got married and had kids.

And that's what makes up all these n00bs and Newjacks that can drop any amount of money in eBay and instantly have "awesome" collections with very little effort...pfffft... : So then it's not about the music, but about how one acquired it? If your collection and mine is identical, but I bought mine online and you got yours by digging through crates, your is better? That's one hell of a stream of logic.

Just got my splatter in the mail. RAD!!
