David The Gnome Posted April 24, 2013 Share Posted April 24, 2013 After spinning it and taking a look again, I may have overreacted a little with the "daaaamn" but it's still feeling and looking pretty thin. I just compared it to Dire Straits - Brothers in Arms and its a tad thicker than that (your average classic rock, dollar bin record). I don't know if it's because I've happened to have purchased/spun mostly around 180g records lately but it just seemed thinner than I expected when I first pulled it out. It sounds good and looks fantastic though. Not necessarily a complaint as much as an observation. edit: I don't have a scale or anything but I'd have to assume it would be 150g if that's what Buffbloom's weighed.

chamb117 Posted April 25, 2013 Share Posted April 25, 2013 Not necessarily a complaint as much as an observation. yeah, mine felt especially thin too when i first opened it, but i also think that it's because a lot of records i have received recently are heavier weights. it sounds fine, though.

Just thought I should tell you that every time I see your name it makes me think of that "Dream Over" part in "I Was Born In Omaha." It is awesome. Thank you.

agreetodisagree Posted April 27, 2013 Share Posted April 27, 2013 Can't understand why people are questioning Buffbloom for weighing his records. Definitely not something I would do unless I was suspicious I received an incorrect weight but I sort of like when I check the thread of a record I bought and he posts the weight of it. firstwefall and RowBearToe 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hillcrest Posted April 28, 2013 Share Posted April 28, 2013 Buffbloom - keep doing what you do. Collecting anything is slightly nerdy and obsessive. So I am all for it. chutterhanban and firstwefall 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tokimedo Posted April 28, 2013 Share Posted April 28, 2013 i actually really like that he weighs them. if i had a scale, id do it too. so thanks for doing that buffbloom. firstwefall 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
