I just built some speaker stands recently, and I'm pretty happy with how they turned out!

I was going through some records the other day and noticed I have 2 copies. It's NM/NM; unplayed. 

Anyways, just looking to trade for something. Don't really care what as long as it's not a thrift store throwaway. Punk, indie, alternative, hardcore, etc. They all do it for me.
Maybe attach a short list of what you'd be willing to trade? I think that would be the easiest route.

Feel free to ask any questions!

kyle!

congrats very happy 4 u.

Who's selling? If you can't trace it back to the owner, don't buy regardless if how cheap. Don't support property theft.
If you can be assured it's not stolen, probably a decent buy. Worst case, sell it on eBay for parts.

To put it simply: Wood, PVC, a metal rod, and some sand.
There are a ton of guides that basically explain what I did, but in case anyone is interested in exactly how I did, I guess it never hurts to have too many how-to's: 
 
 
 
Measured the LxW dimensions of my speakers (9"x9"). Then I went to Lowe's and bought like 6'x12"x1" (6 foot plank. 1" thick, 12" wide. Some people who made other how-to guides had 2" thickness). When I got home I cut two pieces of wood that were just slightly (1/4" maybe?) bigger for the tops. Then I cut two 11"x11" pieces for the bases.  
I sanded the wood and then stained it with ebony wood stain. I did two coats and then sealed it with two coats of polyurethane to protect the wood and give it a nicer finish. (Sand in between your polyurethane coats!)  
I bought a 5' tube of 3" PVC and cut it in half. I primed the PVC tube and then spray painted it with truck bed liner paint. It wasn't my first choice of paint, but I am actually stunned at how well it turned out. It has a very nice texture.  
I decided to use a 3/8" all-thread rod to connect the top and bottom pieces of wood. I drilled a 3/8" hole in the center of the top piece and the center of the bottom piece. You would also need to drill a hole about halfway through the wood with a paddle bit so that you can fit your washers/nuts properly. A quick Google search shows an example of what I'm talking about here:
 
After my PVC and wood was dry and ready to be assembled, I grabbed some heavy duty construction caulk (the kind that bonds any material to any material; in this case, wood to PVC) and put it on the bottoms of my PVC pipes that were going to go against the wood base. This was hands down the hardest part. Trying to get the PVC on your base dead-center without getting caulk all over the place was a pain in the ass. Just be patient, and at least if you used ebony, it's easy to cover your mistakes It was important for me to have a good seal between the PVC and the wood, because I chose to pour a bunch of playground sand ($3 for 50 pounds at a hardware store) down the PVC tube for added weight/stability.  
When I had my PVC base centered and it was finally sealed to the wood, I ran the rod from the bottom of the base (the one thats on the floor!) up through the PVC. I noticed that I needed to cut the rod so that it would lay flush against the very top of my top piece of wood. I wouldn't want to have 1/2" of a steel rod poking out the top of my speaker stand. I used a band saw to cut it. (My old man owns an equipment rental store, so I had pretty easy access to some of these otherwise hard-to-acquire things like saws and what not).   
When the rod was cut to where I needed it to be, I added the sand. It's very important that the rod was in place where it needed to be because once you start pouring sand, it would just be a fucking *mess* to try to run it through. I used a cup to pour the sand in about 90% of the way to the top. I held the rod center as I did that.  
Last stop was putting the top piece of wood on, centering it with the bottom, and then putting the top washer/nut on and tightening. After everything was secure, I just used some of that kitchen drawer rubber-lining and cut it to size to put under my speaker for added grip.  
 
And I realize that maybe this wasn't the right place for this post, and I really did not mean for it to be so long. Aye, aye, aye. Hopefully it helps someone if they need it.

This album is so good that I actually threw up while listening to it.

Wow. I just ordered mine and I was pretty shocked to see that the clear was still there. Got one of those even though my heart said yellow.
 
If Catalina Fight Song is the one of the worst ones on the album, I'm going to need new pants.

OP said specifically that they were not looking for ear buds or in-ears....
 
I like my ATH-M50s well enough. can be had pretty regularly for $100 (monitor slickdeals.net for deals). 
 
they sound good and I wear them for ~4 hours every night.  However, they do get sort of hot after a while due to the closed-back design. 
 
Given that I use them exclusively at home, I may be switching to an open-back design in the future.  However, since you intend to use yours at work, you'll get better isolation from closed-back cans.

In my opinion, lyrically this is the greatest fucking album of the last couple of decades. But honestly I feel like that's mostly because of my position in life and being able to relate so deeply to these lyrics. Any way this is an A+++ album in my opinion.

You're making these statements based on the vinyl or via streaming MP3s?
 
I think this record sounds great, it's punchy and warm. AM! is damned if they do and damned if they don't (look at all the hate towards New Wave/White Crosses for sounding to polished and over-produced). In fact this sounds a lot cleaner then most modern 'punk' albums, or recent releases from bands that fall in AM!'s peer group.
 
This is a great album that sounds fantastic on vinyl. A++ will do business with again.

there was indeed nudity. the demon that came out of the ground at the end had all kinds of boobage.
 
and i hate that people are calling this a 'remake', because it's not, at all.
 
as a huge fan of the trilogy tho, i loved this movie, and all of its nods to the first two movies.
 
it was a visual blowjob for evil dead fans. they did it wonderfully and i walked out with the biggest smile on my face.

Guitar amp took a shit. Trying to save up money to either fix, or if I get enough (fingers crossed) : replace it.
Records are all NM+/tip-top-super-duper. I never even got around to spinning some of them.
 
Refused - Shape Of Punk To Come RSD Red 2xLP - $37ppd Paint It Black - New Lexicon - White /1000 (unplayed) - $19ppd Touche Amore - To The Beat Of A Dead Horse - White /1000 (unplayed) - $18ppd Lawrence Arms - Cocktails and Dreams (blue/white 2XLP) - $20ppd Propagandhi - Failed States (blue) - $35ppd AFI - Sing The Sorrow (Red) $75ppd
   
I think the prices are fair, and if you got a few I'd try to save you some ca$h.
Shoot me a message if you're interested in something on my tradelist. A lot of it would be hard to part with, but it doesnt hurt to ask! ;D

I guess you aren't interested in going to Lolla then

Yes, he is!
