tape

of course this means admitting that you're from New Bedford.

How does something that hasn't even been released "ruin" your complete collection?

THE HOBBY!!!

*pushes up glasses*

hahaha bunch of turds.

woot! I won this!

The Vinyl Word is having trouble with twitter. they DM'd me saying I won and to respond to claim the prize. however, they aren't following me so I can't DM them (for those unfamiliar with twitter, you can only send private messages to someone if they follow you). I tweeted at them that I couldn't respond to the DM as explained above but that I was alive and interested. this was at about 7am. at around 10, they tweeted that no one had responded. HELLO I RESPONDED.
if they give this away to someone else because they can't figure out how to use twitter, I'ma be displeased.

Love when people come to this forum solely for knowledge on how to effectively flip records. This dude will not listen to ONE of these

... to me.

Anyway the wind blows, doesn't really matter to me...

It just occurred to me that some of my vinyl are different colors.
 
have you noticed any records that have colors?
 
if so, what are they?

Update to this story about annoying guy at fingerprints:
 
So I'm looking at the record store's instagram and this annoying guy is commenting on every single fingerprints photo. 
Basically what happened is:
 
1. Guy waits since 10pm day before for DMB box set.
2. Guy finds out owner is auctioning box set for charity (silent auction style).
3. Guy is pissed off. Proceeds to yell at owner and accuse him of many things.
4. Guy ends up place a bid roughly ~$200.
5. Guy ends up winning the auction.
6. Guy is denied the item as his winning bid is not accepted and is told by manager (owner?) to fuck off.
 
Good job Fingerprints. You did good. You did good.

Damn you people who got White Stripes for $23. Fingerprints marked up the record to $35. Talk about opportunistic.
 
Also Fingerprints was the site of the biggest whiner on RSD. Guy is 2nd in line at Fingerprints. Finds out that the only DMB box set is being silent auctioned off for charity by the store instead of being sold. Proceeds to argue with owner on it being unfair. WAH WAH. Starts questioning the charity and why the silent auction is not being advertised on facebook. Starts coming up with schemes like "Everything I buy here at the store I will put up on ebay with the tag 'fingerprints.' I should even change my ebay handle to 'fingerprints music.'" He proceeds to say dumb stuff like "Maybe I should tell the owner that I will spend $100 at his store and then anything I get with the $100 he can just auction off and I can get the DMB set instead."
 
I know the guy posts here, so here's my message to him: Stop being a whining baby. You're a grown man. Fingerprints doesn't owe you anything. Ultimately, waiting in line for an item is a gamble at the end of the day. It's really sad to see grown men bitch like a 2 yr old over some lame records. "HEY GIVE ME THE DMB BOX SET! I'm THEIR BIGGEST FAN. I'VE BEEN TO 77 SHOWS!"

Bull Moose in Salem was once again a fucking shitshow. They need to set up their shit so more than 3 people can look at the RSD stuff at the same time. I hate them.

my store gives you a number when you walk in and they let like 5 people in the rsd area at a time. All stores should do this

Popcorn gif.

I would but people would point and laugh if they saw me with that in my grip.

I will say that this was one of the most over-the-top fun concerts I've been to in a long time. It was a true show. Very theatrical and involved and much more than just Taylor singing and playing guitar. It sounded great overall.
 
The merch was decent but overpriced as expected. Shirts were about $25. Signed CDs were $30. No LPs that I saw. A bunch of other stuff like posters, jerseys, letterman jacket, calendar, etc.
 
I went by myself, which at first I was kinda freaked out about for this show. I've gone to plenty of shows solo and no big deal but this was a different story. But once in line and inside the venue it was all good. Once the show started I gave zero fucks and just went bananas. I had a great time. It was a lot of fun.
 
There were plenty of girls there with their boyfriends/husbands and you could tell those dudes were dragged there because they stood there motionless with blank expressions and clearly bored not wanting to be there. I found that shit funny as all hell.

I'd be in for just Stay On My Side Tonight being pressed.

You know what I'd like to see? I'd like to see this album get a similar treatment to Bleed American. Give it a triple LP repress! If it didn't compromise the sound quality, I'd slap the original album on Side A and B, the bonus tracks like Jen, Shame, When I Want, You, The Concept, Work (Acoustic), and Sparkle on side C, the Stay On My Side Tonight Ep on side D. and the Demos from the deluxe edition on side E and F. I'd shit myself to see that come to life.

flip it.
