circuit bored records Posted July 25, 2014 Share Posted July 25, 2014 A buddy of mine told me to try that, so I did... And, it worked. And, my mum told me she used to do that back in the day. But, now I know it's not a good idea....... So, I won't. Troll fail Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ibrittanybutler Posted July 26, 2014 Share Posted July 26, 2014 It's weird, though. It doesn't work on my cruiser. But, my mum has one of those Crosley radio/turntable/CD players... And, it plays AWKIF fine. Granted, it's slightly pitched (a smidge higher..) which is annoying. But, yeah. Why is Crosley even a brand that makes "turntables" if said turntables can't even play records correctly? Honestly... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ibrittanybutler Posted July 26, 2014 Share Posted July 26, 2014 because tumblr http://www.tumblr.com/tagged/crosley Okay, I'll admit that I'm guilty of that. But, they're so inexpensive. Which is why the casual listener would buy one. But, you'd think they'd at least make them somewhat reliable since they're sold everywhere..

SBarry Posted July 26, 2014 Share Posted July 26, 2014 I know it's more or less everyone on here bags on them because they are crap ha. When I started buying all my first records I did the same thing not realizing any better, then I corrected that real fast. Now I must stop posting in a damn Paramore thread.

When I started buying all my first records I did the same thing not realizing any better, then I corrected that real fast. I mean, just for listening to records softly in my room... The cruiser I have is alright. Even though it can't play AWKIF and one or two others without skipping horribly. But, other than that it's okay for casual use. I'm definitely gonna try to save up now to get a nice set up, though since I'm working on collecting all my favorite records.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ibrittanybutler Posted July 26, 2014 Share Posted July 26, 2014 looking through that i found a bunch of people destroying expensive and now rare records with crosleys I will say... The best (or worst for that matter) part is how many people tag them as "vintage." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

psus2h Posted July 26, 2014 Share Posted July 26, 2014 I had a friend say this skipped on the first track. There were small dimples in the wax that were the size of a pen head. He has some sort of shit combo unit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, the only thing I'm guilty of is taking some photos of Panic! at the Disco's vinyl discography (since I finally own them all) on my cruiser and posting them on there. But, it's not like I was calling them or the player ~vintage~ haha. http://itsbrittanybutler.tumblr.com/post/90988239545#notes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheGhostOfRandySavage Posted July 27, 2014 Share Posted July 27, 2014 I never play the gold, actually! If I want to listen to Fever, I'll listen to the CD or my iPod. I only spun it that once for the sake of the photo set, lol. It's one of my favorite albums, and I know it's pretty rare. I keep it framed on my wall! Haha. Oh, you. You are just the worst kind of person. museummouth and zeb_enjoys_vinyl 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ibrittanybutler Posted July 27, 2014 Share Posted July 27, 2014 Oh, you. You are just the worst kind of person. I don't understand......... Fever is mostly an electronic album, and for that reason I personally like listening to the digital recording. (Since I obviously don't have the proper record player to listen to it on.) What's wrong with keeping it framed? I love the album. At least I'm taking care of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
museummouth Posted July 27, 2014 Share Posted July 27, 2014 I don't understand......... Records aren't made to hang on walls. Print the artwork out at Staples if you want to frame it. Do you hang a car on the wall? Do you hang food on the wall? They might look nice, but no. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGhostOfRandySavage Posted July 27, 2014 Share Posted July 27, 2014 Oh, you. You are just the worst kind of person. Sorry, I meant record collector. You're the worst kind of record collector; you may be a lovely person. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you hang food on the wall? They might look nice, but no. Well, then they shouldn't specifically sell "record album frames" ..........Since my record player is obviously crap, I don't see the problem with keeping a rare album that I love safe and framed for the time being. swinx 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
