Speaking of Vinyl Me Please, sweet beats to sample, and having more records in your collection, here’s a documentary on Madlib meeting Ethiopia’s Ayalew Mesfin.

Oh I definitely checked that out already, its awesome. And I have definitely added Ayalew Mesfin to my list of artists to dig for. Madlib is an incredible producer and extremely talented. Talib Kweli just posted to social media a list of things that he was proud of accomplishing this year and one of them was "Working on a new Black Star album", which would be so drat cool. And there are rumors that Madlib is producing all of the beats on the album, which I could see being true considering Kweli and Mos Def have both worked with him in the past (he produced Kweli's "Liberation" album and 4 tracks on "The Ecstatic"). I am bummed that I didn't start collecting records until after VMP had done the Madlib Medicine Show: Flight To Brazil exclusive which has long sold out, but I was able to pick up 420 Chalice All Stars before that was gone.

InSound has a huge sale going on right now. After browsing through a bunch of the sale items, I saw they have Daft Punk's Alive 2007 for only $18 (about $24 with shipping) which is a pretty solid deal. Also have Alive 1997 for $10. I didn't end up picking them up but thought there might be others who were interested.

For those who pre-ordered my single, I just got the shipment in yesterday and have sent out the invoices via PayPal. I'm really happy with how it turned out, and its been getting a decent amount of support. Hope to get everything packaged up this weekend and send them out early next week. Also, I am including a little surprise in each shipment as a thank you for your support. Its nothing crazy, but hopefully you enjoy it. If you have any questions, just shoot me a PM. Thanks again to everyone, will keep you posted about my next release at the beginning of next year.

If you own more than 18 hours worth of records and don't spend every waking minute of every day listening to all of them you don't appreciate them enough and are just a hoarder that's running the medium for true hardcore fans  E. I ended up getting the laputa image album as well anyway, it came in and I'm glad cause some of these demo versions are absolute bangers SeXReX fucked around with this message at 23:43 on Dec 1, 2018 |

Everyone is absolutely free to do whatever they want and I don't really have my eye on anything rare enough to care about people hoarding things I'd like to have or whatever. I guess I just don't see the point beyond "I have this record." Which if that's the point, cool.

I could see it if someone is just starting out and wants to buy two or three records while looking for a used player, but if they have any sort of sizeable collection that's just hosed up.

For years, all I had access to were bad turntables. From 2014 to 2017, I had nothing, but I kept collecting because I knew one day it would be mine And now I have a huge pile of records to play on it

I bought a bunch of records in the 90s when I had roommates with turntables, and then went from like 2000-2014 without access to one. Felt dumb moving boxes of records with no player but it all worked out in the end.

LITA has a bunch of those Sony Music reissues of Japanese pop records up for sale through their distro - Taeko Ohnuki, Hiroshi Sato, etc. They are expensive as gently caress ($42 each) but it’s a bargain compared to what you’d pay for originals.

Do you think that's the only reason prices have increased? While I agree that there is something to that, the market in general has gotten a lot bigger which I think is a big contributor. On the other hand, with the steady increase in the popularity of vinyl, we are seeing a lot of quality represses of some albums that are harder to find / pricier or were never pressed on vinyl. And while you are right that prices for some records have gone through the roof, I have found some great deals on records on discogs / ebay. On another note, I don't know if I have mentioned it before, but there is a subreddit called r/vinyldeals that has a bot post crazy deals it finds on Amazon/eBay and a bunch of other sites. For example, a few weeks back I picked up Rage Against the Machine Live at the Grand Olympic Auditorium (180g) for $10 shipped. Definitely recommend subscribing and checking it out.

Hey everyone, I won't be able to send out the records today. Amazon hosed up my shipment of mailers/inserts that were supposed to come today so I am hoping to get them out tomorrow or Wednesday at the latest. Sorry for the delay! I'll send out tracking numbers via e-mail once they are shipped. I'm also working on getting both songs up on streaming platforms which a few people have asked about.

Merge is doing a desk where you get 3 mystery records for $20. I got Policy by Will Butler, Tween by Wye Oak, and Indoor Living by Superchunk. I haven't ever listened to Will Butler or Wye Oak, so hopefully I like them. E: despite liking Arcade Fire's earlier stuff, I didn't care for Policy upon first listen. I'll give it another couple tries. Tween, on the other hand, I really enjoyed on the first listen. Beelerzebub fucked around with this message at 07:36 on Dec 4, 2018 |

This is a weird question that I’m posting out of nowhere, but I have searched the forum and haven’t found anything, so I thought there would be no harm in asking: About seven years ago a tv show I liked called Fringe did a promotion where they pressed an lp for a fake band that was part of the show and sold copies to a bunch of used record stores. It was a full album of kind of ok-sounding music by some studio musicians J.J. Abrams hired, artificially aged to make the copies look like they were 40 years old. The fake band was called Violet Sedan Chair and the album titles is Seven Suns. The music itself was released digitally and is kind of blah, but I’ve been trying to find one of the copies of the lp. I’ve been looking for a copy of this album for years and have never been able to find one for sale. There were a thousand or more copies made, but only two or three ever turned up on eBay back in 2011. A few blog posts by record stores and collectors from that time suggest that most of the copies were immediately bought up by vinyl collectors who had no idea what the show was and just thought there was some rare album they had never heard of. Does anyone have any suggestions for how I’d find a copy? I know very little about how and where vinyl collectors would sell something like that: I’ve checked eBay, Amazon, and Discogs for a few years and never seen a copy. Where would I look for something like that?

I reckon eBay and discogs are about where you'd check for it as a record. As a piece of Fringe memorabilia, Fringe fan forums, subreddits and collector's circles might be worth a shot, although at most I'd expect to see a post by someone else saying "holy poo poo I managed to get one". Or you get super lucky visiting the right record store. I have this. It's probably one of my most obscure records; I'd been listening to it on youtube for months and pretty much from the start resigned myself to that and some blogspot download being as close as I'd ever get. Then they announced a rerelease and I jumped right at that (it's a very nice quality release too). My point being, the other day I was in a shop and out of the blue came across one of the inofficial rereleases there had been over the years, and believe you me if I hadn't heard about the official rerelease I would have flipped my entire poo poo on the spot. Feels weird to look at a record you know is fairly rare and obscure and be able to say pfft yeah right, been there, done that. e: only 250 copies as well. Gotta say, it was very reasonably priced for that. But I guess that goes to show, limited to 10 or 50 or 250, you can just happen to see this stuff in the wild if you go to enough shops.
