The Walrus posted:how loud do you guys listen to music? My system goes up to 10 but at 4 stuff starts shaking so I rarely go above 2. I want to go to 10 so so badly My receiver starts at negative numbers for some reason so moderate volumes are in the 20-24 range (which is usually what I put it on unless I'm not in the same room.). When you get to 1 it starts getting loud. I have no idea why it's like this. Barry posted:TMR's "normal" stuff is really reasonably priced - the blue live LPs are $15 (have bought a few sub-$10 used at my local shops), their reissures are ~$20, the 45s are $5-$6 or so, etc. They do a lot of good reissues too; just picked up Jonathan Fire*Eaters Tremble Under Boom Lights for $18, not bad. I would have never even heard of Texas Funeral which was one of their first reissues and that album should really be a classic. I also would have probably never been able to get the first 5,6,7,8s album either so the reissue aspect of that label is doing the lord's work. Jack White (and Ben Blackwell who probably has a lot to do with those things) has really good taste in music and he just uses the fact that he's rich and famous as a platform to get all kinds of stuff you'd probably would have never found otherwise out there. Ballz posted:VMP posted a mega update on all their site/shipping issues. No, they didn't email members to alert them. Is the VMP Beck thing his new album or a desperately needed reissue of something from the 90s?

I understand the AD/BC 2LP thing from back in the day, it was because you'd have automatic changers and would flip the stack at the halfway point, but I don't quite get the AC/BD/EH/FI/GJ configuration on the LCD concert. At first i thought it was, as mentioned, for DJs, who'd have two turntables (but who would be playing the whole concert in a DJ setting?) until I got to the last three LPs and it actually requires three turntables or two with a bit more switching than the first two discs imply: LP1, side A on turntable 1; LP2, side B on turntable 2. Play A, Cue B, Flip LP1 LP1, side C on turntable 1; LP2, side B on turntable 2. Play B, Cue C, Flip LP2 LP1, side C on turntable 1; LP2, side D on turntable 2. Play C, Cue D, swap LP1 for LP3 LP3, side E on turntable 1; LP2, side D on turntable 2. Play D, Cue E, swap LP2 for LP4 LP3, side E on turntable 1; LP4, side F on turntable 2. Play E, Cue F, swap LP3 for LP 5 LP5, side G on turntable 1; LP 4, side F on turntable 2. Play F, Cue G, swap LP4 for LP 3 LP5, side G on turntable 1; LP 3, side H on turntable 2. Play G, Cue H, swap LP5 for LP4 LP4, side I on turntable 1; LP 3, side H on turntable 2. Play H, Cue I, swap LP 3 for LP 5 LP4, side I on turntable 1; LP 5, side J on turntable 2. Play I, Cue J Play J

New album. I thought his back catalogue was all reissued recently and isn’t too hard to find.

Ballz posted:New album. I thought his back catalogue was all reissued recently and isn’t too hard to find. I was about to say that Midnight Vultures needs a reissue and that's a one fans have been yelling about for a while. I just looked it up and it appears that the master tapes for that were likely destroyed in a fire that took many iconic and historically important recordings and films among other things. So that's unfortunate. The previous LP sells for about 200 bucks. The Information and various EPs from the 90s are still MIA, though I don't expect to see the latter every again and who knows where those things are of if they were also destroyed in the fire.

Also it is a pretty terrible album so it should hit the discount bins in a couple months

Many of them are significant pieces of America's musical heritage. sporklift posted:Is yours measuring db? I usually listen to mine around 50 or 60 ...70 is really loving loud.

Oh yeah the fire is an absolute tragedy, so much history forever lost. I was just showing Beck himself is downplaying his personal losses. sporklift posted:

anyone else have the Once Upon A Time In America soundtrack? does Hush sound like it's being played over an AM radio for everyone? I guess it's a stylistic choice? also agreed the new Beck is good. except for the last track which grates on my nerves in a weird way. rest is great.

Yeah a few of the songs sound like they’re either actual rips from KHJ or have an AM radio effect thrown on them. I don’t doubt some are actual tips, like Mrs. Robinson which is meshed with an actual Don Steele voice over. Blast Fantasto fucked around with this message at 15:49 on Dec 7, 2019 |

I havent been following this thread for a long time and on a whim googled Crow Soundtrack Vinyl and just found out it was an RSD exclusive that's now been sold by scalpers for $100+. Any idea how likely it will get a wider release? Is there a wider release and I just didn't look hard enough?

Blast Fantasto posted:Yeah a few of the songs sound like they’re either actual rips from KHJ or have an AM radio effect thrown on them. So at least the film soundtrack is actual factual radio recordings, according to the sound mixers: quote:In Quentin Tarantino’s latest film, Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, re-recording mixer Michael Minkler and veteran music editor Jim Schultz were tasked with delivering an unrivalled audio production. As the film relied on well-known original radio broadcasts, songs and scores from the 1960s era in which it was set, the duo selected NUGEN Audio’s Halo Upmix plug-in to allow them to mix from stereo to 5.1/7.1/Dolby Atmos and back again.

It was just an RSD exclusive (as opposed to a first release) which means a repress wasn't planned. That might change at some point, but for now it's the flippers who win. :|

I have Eye on the Gold Chain 12”, mainly because the b-side shares the same name as my hometown. It’s about 3,000 miles away currently which doesn’t help you much though I’m afraid. Always a fun group.

Gotta stop ordering poo poo off Amazon no matter how cheap. I got two records delivered today, one in a cardboard mailer that was at one point taped shut with two pieces of scotch tape and the other in a fuckin bubble mailer

I have the opposite problem, I keep getting records from Amazon in a large rectangular box that contains air paks and a standard cardboard LP box thing with the tear off strip. It`s a lot of paper.

I'm currently selling a turntable on Craigslist and just had someone interested in buying it. I googled him to make sure he's not a serial killer, but it turns out he has reddit posts that are sexist and derogatory. Should I sell it to him or should i string him along to show him I don't approve of his behavior.

Just a thought, but maybe try finding a way to mount a dowel attached to a flat base on the wall of the right diameter so it was in the open (and you could rotate it if you wanted to since the art is designed like that?)

pwn posted:Just sell it to him or dont, honestly. Also googling someone on cl is kinda creepy, go meet and buy or sell the item and move on with your life Yeah I have no idea why you'd look into a seller. If you're getting weird vibes from them, don't meet. Or meet in public somewhere. Since you know now that they suck, meet them in public, use false contact info, and put a single sardine inside the turntable inside the mechanism so it slowly just starts stinking up their listening room.
