stay depressed posted:I don't understand what you guys want record stores to sell. You deride this place for having "dollar bin" records but that's all people seem to buy in this thread. If you're all going to keep buying those dadrock records you can't also act like selling them is some kind of mis-step. You're the ones creating the market. Isn't it a good thing that people are buying records at all? This is a lot of generalizations about me based on one or two other posters that are not me.

Mike_V posted:What city has a loving Urban Outfitters but not a record shop? Back when I lived in Jersey, there was an Urban Outfitters by me, but the closest good record shop was about 40-50 minutes away down in Central Jersey. Granted, it was loving Vintage Vinyl, which was and is an amazing store. Great selection, huge size, and if you wanted something, you could easily find it. If you can stop by, you totally should. The only thing that sucked was that their used LPs weren't organized, but I'm guessing they moved fast enough that organizing them was a waste of time. So yes, if you were a teenager, you'd go to Urban Outfitters. But it was always worth the drive down to Vintage for me.

Domovoyd - S/T. Finnish psych doom. Open the gate. Lyric/art booklet. Wounded Giant - Lightning Medicine. Went and saw these awesome Seattle doom dudes in Portland, Maine on Friday. Super cool guys that killed it. Picked up the vinyl after the show. Insert. From what I understand, the white version is only available directly from the band.

YMMV, but the Urban Outfitters by me had some good clearance vinyl. New Twin Shadow, DFA1979, Parquet Courts, Bleeding Rainbow, and a Major Lazer EP all $9.99 or less. They also had copies of Deja Entendu in stock.

Per request, here are some pics of the Air reissues. Amazon messed up my order a bit, sent Premiers Symptomes instead of Talkie Walkie, and Moon Safari was delayed a day. Only listened to 10,000Hz Legend so far, and while I can't tell for sure if it was remastered, it does sound a hell of a lot better than my CD. Glad that this is 2 albums, just wish it was gatefold instead. Those are cutouts on the cover.

Amazon's doing a buy 2 get 1 here: http://www.amazon.com/gp/feature.html?ie=UTF8&docId=1003013961 They beefed up some of the prices, but the savings are still decent. According to Reddit, if you select two records you like and add either this version of Angles by the Strokes (http://www.amazon.com/Angles-Vinyl-...SKTP2XVTH9TJ5CY) or this copy of Origin of Symmetry by Muse (http://www.amazon.com/Origin-Symmet...gin+of+symmetry) to your cart, then delete Angles or Origin from your cart once you proceed to the checkout page and the B2G1 kicks in, there's a glitch where one of the records remains free and it turns into a B1G1. It works, I got a Modest Mouse and a Broken Bells for $17 combined. Schremp Howard posted:YMMV, but the Urban Outfitters by me had some good clearance vinyl. New Twin Shadow, DFA1979, Parquet Courts, Bleeding Rainbow, and a Major Lazer EP all $9.99 or less. They also had copies of Deja Entendu in stock. Is this one of those in-store YMMV things? I don't see anything online. The Physical World is a loving great record and I haven't seen it under $30 anywhere. I'd love to pick it up for $10.

Checked out a local Urban and they are indeed doing a $9.99 clearance sale. Might be worth a look. I saw the following records (and yes I posted this on Reddit too shut up): Brian Eno Parquet Courts - Sunbathing Animal Family of the Year - Loma Vista Cults Kiesza - Sound of a Woman Death From Above 1979 - The Physical World Andrew Bird Twin Shadow - Eclipse (white record) Blood Orange and Solange AWOLNATION - Run Eagulls Ex Cops - True Hallucinations The Hives - Lex Hives a Burial single JEFF the Brotherhood - Hypnotic Nights Albert Hammond Jr. - AHJ (5-song EP, $6.99) Divine Fits Black Lips - Underneath The Rainbow an entire rack of Iggy Azalea - The New Classic and Reclassified, jesus loving christ Iggy how did you flame out this badly Jay-Z - Vol 3: The Life And Times of Sean Carter Mat Kearney Major Lazer - Apocalypse Soon (orange/green vinyl) and Band of Horses - Mirage Rock I picked up DFA and Twin Shadow. The DFA is slightly warped, though it doesn't have any problems playing. The Twin Shadow is white, which was a nice surprise. In the last 24 hours I've picked up four good-to-great records for under $40 thanks to abusing that Amazon B1G1, so I'm quite happy with my recent haul. I've also grabbed: Broken Bells self-titled and Modest Mouse's We Were Dead Before We Finished Typing Out This Album Title from Amazon; the new Hot Chip, which is strangely 150g in the standard edition and feels a bit flimsy; the repress of RTJ1, which is more orange than gold (and has some lovely surface noise at the end of "Run The Jewels," which sucks because I'm pretty sure that's a problem with this pressing in general so I don't think a replacement copy would fix anything); and Arcade Fire's Neon Bible and Spoon's They Want My Soul, the last two from trading in some impulse buys, in the last month.

Vinyl newbie - Just bought a new copy of Daft Punk's Discovery, and there's awful skips right out of the package on most of the tracks. I'm not using a high-end turntable by any means, but our beat-up second-records play perfectly. Did I just get a lemon, or do new records need to be cleaned?

Hatter106 posted:Vinyl newbie - Check your needle, check the surface, give the record itself a once-over. It could be the records, it could be your turntable (if you're new to this, it's probably your turntable, what model/brand is it?), it could be a weird pressing. Though Discovery is probably in my top 10 most-spun records, and I've only had issues when I had accidentally hosed up my needle, getting a replacement fixed things right up. In other news, Amazon sent me Outkast's Aquemini instead of Broken Bells' self-titled from that buy 2 get 1/buy 1 get 1 Amazon sale. I talked to customer service and they told me to keep Aquemini (which is dope, because it's loving Aquemini) and they're shipping out a copy of Broken Bells as well. So I somehow turned a buy 2 get 1 into a buy 1 get 1 into a buy 1 get 2. Considering I've been trying to limit my record shopping budget, the fact that I've gotten 5 new records for $38 in the last two days is pretty drat nice.

Hatter106 posted:Vinyl newbie - Make sure your tracking force is set properly because that can cause the stylus to jump right out of the grooves. If that's not the issue it's entirely possible that the record is just a bad pressing.
