Imgur is real pain in the ass to work with on mobile – or iPhones, anyway.

Damn and i thought i was running out of room on my 2x4. Thats cray. Is that Ikea too or something else? Want to upgrade but feel like going much higher gets to unsteady for my taste.

angryalan Posted November 22, 2022 Share Posted November 22, 2022 (edited) @mitchard Nice Broyhill Brasilia end table! I've got a Broyhill Emphasis cocktail table that I restored. I've cut my collection in half the past couple of years. Helps pay for other hobbies (and the dog).

My living room is miniscule and this is the only wall where the TV can go. Not pictured on the other side is the theater-like recliner sofa. Shit is comfy. I do plan to size down to a 2x4 Kallax and move the TV down quite a bit. One of many things on my to-do list. ethanpricington 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mike Posted November 22, 2022 Share Posted November 22, 2022 Got these racks when all the Hastings were going out of business. I also have a fourth one that I use mostly for zines, but a couple of the drawers on that one have also been taken over by records... Front flip forever!

What’s the story with all the panels on the left wall? Obviously I see the cohesive theme with them, but are they a reference to anything in particular? Or tie into the bands in any way? I feel like I’m completely missing something and my curiosity outweighs the risk of embarrassing myself with ignorance here. mitchard 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MyEnemy Posted November 22, 2022 Share Posted November 22, 2022 Oi yoi yoi. Pretty jealous of y’all that don’t live in Southern California. I’m gonna have to show ya what it’s like to have 4k+ records in small-ish apartment, when I get home.

They are all Swiss modernist style interpretations show flyers from the 70s-90s, done by an artist named Mike Joyce. He released a book called Swissted, which is 100% pull out posters of his artwork. You can also buy varying sizes of the prints from the book (and tons more that aren't in the book) directly from him. https://a.co/d/gNGH6Sw https://www.stereotypenyc.com/ throwgncpr, Mars and faaip de oiad 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DecayToDeath Posted November 22, 2022 Share Posted November 22, 2022 I keep the records in another room, turntable and stereo out in the main living room area. I've got a couple boxes' worth that I didn't bother dragging into the photo, they'll go into another Kallax next time I'm at IKEA.

I’m curious cause it looks like it’s maybe tucked away in the corner? I love good speaker placement cause it’s (usually) free and can improve the sound of most systems with just a little tweaking. Awesome collection. How long have you been collecting? I’m guessing you have ~1,200? I love that all the boxes are up top. Plus all the Unwounds *chefs kiss*.

Awesome collection. How long have you been collecting? I’m guessing you have ~1,200? I love that all the boxes are up top. Plus all the Unwounds *chefs kiss*. I've been collecting since January 2014 (when I was 14 years old; I am now 23). If you were to count every box set by the individual albums they contain, and include the stuff that isn't in the photo, I estimate I've got a few shy of 2k. Unwound are one of my favorite bands, admittedly I double-dipped on a couple of the more recent pressings too. As for the speakers, it's kind of a makeshift setup until I've got money set aside for new speakers (and/or better speaker stands than a couple of Uhaul boxes from when I moved into this place a few months back). They're triangulated to the center seat of my couch. Sad Heart 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ll suggest these stands: Monolith Stands — they’re on sale too. You can fill them with sand / cat litter or whatever and they’re perfect.
