Random things you want us to know about you:

The Sleepover  just released an album (Aug 18th, 2017) which you can find on my bandcamp (see link above). If you like my favorite bands that I mentioned, I recommend checking out this band. 

 

I grew up on my dad's classic rock records and also Oldies 50/60's radio. I started buying vinyl some years ago after my prior bands started putting out vinyl of their own under Troposphere records (which are really hard to find..I may have a few left if you're interested in shoe-gaze or psychedelic music).

 

My vinyl record collection primarily consists of local Iowa bands that I buy (most can be found on my friends label http://sumppumprecords.bandcamp.com) but started by buying bands on tour that I've played with/liked throughout the years and vinyl I've obtained when others that were just going to throw their collections out.

Hi everyone, been lurking for a short while and finally decided to join so I could waste a bunch more time on here.

 

Slowly building my vinyl collection. I'd say my "favorite" records in my collection now would be:

 

1. Jimmy Eat World - Futures (light blue SRC pressing)

2. Something Corporate - Leaving Through the Window (red 2012 reissue, /500 band exclusive)

3. The Hold Steady - Boys & Girls in America (purple Vagrant pressing)

 

Stuff I'm hoping to find soon / most actively on the lookout for would be any Tragically Hip, '90s-'00s U2, Cream (specifically eyeing the reunion concert box), and copies of Ryan Adams' rarer stuff like Rock N' Roll or III/IV.

 

Just wanted to say hello :)

foursixtymusic is a San Diego based record label.   We have one release under our belts with another one just about ready to go.

The first release in the series is a 7" blue flexi by Gil Rodriguez and his Ghost In The Willow project from Arizona.  The song is called 'Around The Bend' and it's an acoustic demo version of a song that can be found on the brand new Ep "Missing Persons".  You can get the flexi in the foursixtymusic store or at a Ghost In The Willow show.  Random orders will receive a hand stamped (with a potato) cover.

Next up is a green 7" flexi by Badwater Sound from Illinois. The song is 'City Lights' and it's a ripper.  It will be available in the foursixtymusic webstore next week or from the band at shows. 

Go Get 'Em!

Hello everyone...

My name is Thom and yes... I am a vinyl addict. It's true. I cannot stop collecting the fantastic plastic.

Writing a list of every artist that I enjoy would be exhausting, so here is a small list of artists that are awesome...

 

Dream Theater, Shpongle, Code Elektro, Elder, King Crimson, Pure Reason Revolution, New Keepers Of The Water Towers, Univers Zero and Toner Low.

 

My top 5 albums that i have heard this year would be (in no order)...

 

1. Code Elektro - Triads

2. New Keepers Of The Water Towers - Infernal Machine

3. Sula Bassana - Shipwrecked

4. Elder - Reflections of a Floating World

5. Moritz Von Oswald Trio - Vertical Ascent

 

Anyways... Just thought i'd say Hello!

Just saying hey I’m a fairly casual vinyl collector and I only have 103 records, even though I began collecting back in 2002. Let’s just say it’s a slow process for me. I plan on ramping up the collecting in the new year so that’s why I joined this forum for any  advice and to be part of a community with like minded people.

I am absolutely new here- just dropped in tonight. My name is Toby, and I collect records- mostly punk records from the seventies and eighties. I grew up in San Diego, but have lived in Hawaii for the past 25 years. I played in a punk band in San Diego from 1981ish to 1983ish. I try to be fairly easy to get along with, don't post about politics or religion, and am heads and tails into music- I have been since I was a kid. I have a decent collection of records, about 16 feet of 12" stuff, and maybe ten feet of 7" stuff- running the gamut of punk, rock, Jamaican and British 2nd wave ska, hip-hop/rap, and odd stuff like movie soundtracks from the sixties, and stuff that is hard to label like Ledernacken, Vomito Negro, Kraftwerk, and Nina Hagen. ;) I hope thisplace will be a good fit, for me. Aloha- Toby.

I'm new to the vinyl world, at least as it is now. I had been toying with the idea of getting in to it for some time now but recently took the plunge because of the bone thugs n harmony vinyl from RSD. Now, I'm all in as much as I can be.

I live in IL

I'm left handed. Not super relevant but you did say random :)
