I dunno if RRR is quite my thing (I really can't do full-on noise music), but it is cool for smaller labels and niche genres to explore what can be done with a format, certainly. SAH seems to be way more my speed, though.

Jack White never killed my family so I'll give him a "neat" for his efforts. But holy poo poo that video. I'm getting This is Spinal Tap flashbacks https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i-8B-_Jq2ro&t=102s "The new record will have a locked groove on the outside of the record. That's never been done. Sgt. Pepper has a locked groove on the inside of the record. This has a locked groove on the outside. The outside." e: "This is probably the first time that's been done." "We just don't know."

Gimmicks go way back.quote:One of the earliest examples of a three-track side was a 1901 Pre-Dog Victor A-821 Fortune Telling Record. This is a multi-Track disc with three recording tracks that go all the way through the record. It is titled "Fortune Telling Puzzle Record a song and two Fortunes, See if you can find them."

Someone should make a record with nothing but locked grooves. You could put 400 tracks per side and it would be impossible to find the one you want. edit: Just stomp your foot to change the track.

My favorite gimmick record is that Monty Python album where both sides are labeled 2 and every time you drop the needle you get something different so you can almost never purposely listen to any specific track. This was also a staple of my preteen years: I used to keep it at my grandmother's house because that was the only place I knew of with a working turntable. I guess technically that flexi would be the very first record in my collection. I still have it.

Waxworks Records. The Jacket is really cool, it's got a little insert in it with some recollectin' from George Romero and John Harrison. A really cool collectible for horror movie nerds like me.

I just got my first turntable today, an Audio Technics AT-LP60. Listening to records owns. Both of the ones I've played so far sound pretty different from the digital versions I'm used to. Oh, and when I tried to spin a 45 I forgot to set the thing to 7" and got some nasty grinding of the needle against the slip mat. Doesn't seem to have done any damage though.

I find it can vary in speed at times and the default stylus isn't the best but overall it's a good bang for the buck. I'd just upgrade the needle/cartridge what not. It does a hell of a lot for it's price. I always enjoy it when I use it with my brother (he owns one). b0red fucked around with this message at 05:01 on May 7, 2014 |

Any recommendations? I see the ATN3600DLXI and 211-DE-COPY, but there's also the ATN3600L which is about half the price. I've got the table hooked directly into these speakers.

Is there such a thing as a non-crappy portable turntable? I've always been interested in picking one up, but it seems like the only manufacturer I hear about these days is Crosley (which doesn't carry a very good reputation from what I've heard). Sorry if this is the wrong thread for such a question, but any recommendations would be greatly appreciated.

This came in today. Xiu Xiu - There Is No Right, There Is No Wrong 'Best Of' 2002 - 2012 Handmade packaging on clear and black vinyl. I can't stand 'Best of' collections most of the time, because it's such a subjective thing. It helps that this on was put together by Jamie Stewart himself and every song remastered, so it's worth it for me. Not a huge fan of the tracklist, personally. But that's always the case with collections like this; you'll always have your personal favorite.  It's an okay compilation. Suha and Dr. Troll are great choices for Knife Play, although I would have personally preferred Homunculus to be added as well for its crazy emotional and amazingly oppressive sound. A Promise was always gonna have Sad Pony Guerilla Girl, and I love the inclusion of Ian Curtis Wishlist (a strong personal favorite), but Sad Redux-O-Grapher instead of 20,000 Deaths for Eidelyn Gonzales, 20,000 Deaths for Jamie Peterson? Fabulous Muscles has got its self-titled track of course, I Luv The Valley, OH! was a given but Crank Heart? It's okay I guess, but I would've liked Bunny Gamer instead. Mike is a great and personal song about Jamie Stewart's dad's suicide, so I get its inclusion. La Foret might be my least listened to Xiu Xiu album (not saying much though) and I would have liked to have seen the angrier songs Pox and Saturn alongside Muppet Face and Bog People. Never was a huge fan of Rose of Sharon. The Air Force has too many great songs to include, so I was sad to see only Boy Soprano and Buzz Saw on here. Great songs, but it feels a waste to ignore all the other songs on there; Save Me, Wig Master, Bishop. CA, Vulture Piano... Women As Lovers gets three songs included on the compilation and... they're okay, I guess. I Do What I Want, When I Want is stellar and accessible. I know Jamie Stewart has always loved No Friend Oh! but I've never liked it and would have vastly preferred to have seen the far stronger and frantic In Lust You Can Hear The Axe Fall included. That song just instills an impotent rage and is absolutely heartbreaking. Puff And Bunny is on here, but I'm sorely missing Child At Arms and You Are Pregnant, You Are Dead. Dear God I Hate Myself is represented by the titular track (  video includes vomiting) and Hyunhye's Theme, which are both great, strong tracks but Hyunhye's Theme is kind of an outlier of the album and not representive of the album as a whole. Still a killer song (personal favorite of the album), but I was hoping to hear a remastered Gray Death.The final album included on this album (which ignores the post 2012 albums Nina and Angel Guts:Red Classroom(so no Black Dick or Stupid In The Dark), alongside all the EPs) is Always. I've never been a huge fan of Always, it never struck a chord with me. So it's kind of a bummer to see that it's got 4 songs on here. I can't really stand the first single, Hi. I think Honey-Suckle is rather weak (sorry Angela Seo, you're still an amazing musician and person). I'm glad I Luv Abortion is on here, but they could have tossed Black Drum Machine and the other two I've mentioned and replaced them with the infinitely better Gul Mudin, Factory Girl and The Oldness. In conclusion: eh. The bonus disc of 'rarities' are a bit of a let down as well, as most can be found on their still in-print EPs such as Fag Patrol and Chapel of Chimes. Long post about my personal musical preferences, but at least it's not a post about soundtracks.

http://www.npr.org/blogs/allsongs/2...ontent=20140506 So Jack White did a thing with vinyl. Seems really like a marketing ploy. 180 gram vinyl - 2 vinyl-only hidden tracks hidden beneath the center labels - 1 hidden track plays at 78 RPM, one plays at 45 RPM, making this a 3-speed record - Side A plays from the inside out - Dual-groove technology: plays an electric or acoustic intro for "Just One Drink" depending on where needle is dropped. The grooves meet for the body of the song. - Matte finish on Side B, giving the appearance of an un-played 78 RPM record - Both sides end with locked grooves - Vinyl pressed in seldom-used flat-edged format - Dead wax area on Side A contains a hand-etched hologram by Tristan Duke of Infinity Light Science, the first of its kind on a vinyl record - Absolutely zero compression used during recording, mixing and mastering - Different running order from the CD/digital version - LP utilizes some mixes different from those used on CD and digital version
