I'm not sure if this site "requires" it, but I would like to introduce myself as I plan to post in the "Sale/Trade/Want" section after this!

 

My name is Mikell and I honestly don't know much about vinyl. My wife however loves and swears by it, I would love to learn more and also be able to purchase vinyl for her. Learning about the condition level and cleaning and care things like that. 

 

The experience with vinyl simply ends with the fact that my mother has a vintage record player cabinet that we play our elvis and ella fitzgerald christmas albums on. It's great considering that was the era of music I was raised on and only being 25 myself. 

 

Hopefully this will become a very shared passion between us.

Hello,

 

I just created an account here and recently turned 30.  My collection began with some of my parents old records.  Then I got sucked in by the whole Third Man Records craze, the 2011 Record Store Day, and merch stands at live shows.  My collection has grown from there.  I am from outside the New York City area, but currently live in Seattle.

 

The first band I thoroughly explored was the Doors, bootlegs and all.  From there I got into Bob Dylan and haven't looked back since.  I try to be open towards all kinds of music.

 

I look forward to contributing around here.

Hi VC!

I used to hang around these boards quite a lot a few years back. I've been using most of my time trying to be a good dad these last few years so I haven't really had the time to hang out online. I came to think of VC the other day and decided to give it a look, see if it's still fun. I guess posting a new presentation would be a good place to start.

 

Real name: 
Christer.

Favorite Bands: 
Can't name 'em all. But, lately I've been listening a lot to bands like Ajax, Blood Pressure and Impalers. I used to be a sucker for all things related to No Idea and still love a lot of that stuff. I dig artists like Austin Lucas, Bonnie Prince Billy, Jason Molina and Steve Earle etc. Also, to name a couple more: Baroness, Young Widows, Converge, Coliseum, Self Defense Family, Punch, Decemberists, Tragedy, Fucked Up, The Clash, Mescaleros, latin american music, swedish stuff like Victims, Totalitär, Herätys blah blah and the list goes on.

 

Oh yeah, I love The Measure (SA).

What's your Facebook/Twitter/Tumblr etc.?: 
I have a website where I post interviews, feel free to have a look:

http://www.smallhoursjournal.com

Hobbies (outside of record collecting): 
The outdoors, birdwatching (yeah, for real), watching skateboarding videos (too old to be doing it myself), reading books (favorite author is Gabriel García Marquez).

It's funny, I'm just a regular guy, wife and two kids, trying to make it in this f***** up world. I also happen to make really great music, but in order to get it out there, I have to play this role and sign up to all of this, instead of just asking everyone to check out my music, let me know what you think and share it if you dig it. So that is my goal here, my name is Guy Williams, I live in Redford Michigan, I am currently on workman's comp because I got hurt at work a year ago on the 20th and at 37 years old, I'm trying to break into an industry that caters to people 20 years younger than me. That being said, I hope you enjoy the track I have posted, there are 11 more available on our website, but first things first. For me and my band, it's all about exposing the truth, we hope you enjoy. https://m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=10153609189800787&id=790650786

Favorite Artists:


Queens of the Stone Age, Japandroids, A Tribe Called Quest, Thelonious Monk, Wu-Tang Clan, MF Doom, Cream, Radiohead, Spoon, Kendrick Lamar, and others

I played in a band in high school that had many names, the highlight of which was probably Bald Sasquatch. Since then, nothing. Maybe I'll get back to it. 


 


Hobbies (outside of record collecting)


I brew beer. I like the experimentation involved with making your own. I'm a father, and brewing is the perfect hobby for a parent. It takes a couple hours, then you wait. Couple hours, then wait another couple weeks. And then you end up with beer. 


 


Random Things You Want Us to Know


Concerning records, I'm a slightly more knowledgable person than your average kid who just bought his first Crosley. So I'm mainly looking to learn more about records on here. I've run into some pretty vicious and snarky folks so far that have pounced on some posters - a bad first impression. But I've also really learned a ton from some posts and enjoyed getting the jump on deals and new releases.
