My birthday was Monday and considering Wisconsin shut down Tuesday at 5 PM, I got it in just under the wire. My last birthday drink was with a friend at the bar they work at at 4:58 Tuesday. I never got around to posting my birthday haul, Belle and Sebastian swag edition. No vinyl so there is no reason for it to be in this thread, but look, i’m uploading pics to imgur and writing image tags and wow Japan editions of their last two albums. Each features one (1) Japan-exclusive bonus track. Getting these was the only way to even hear them, let alone own them in CD quality. I’m now seeking little plastic protective bags like the ones other Japanese CDs I’ve bought came in. Must keep the delicate obis safe  Incredible woodcut print from their 2013 tour. It measures about 19x25”. Throw it on the pile with all the other artwork I can’t afford to frame    And finally, an incredible double-sided vintage poster, from the extremely brief period where their major label debut was licensed to The Enclave in the States, before they went under and Matador got the album. Notice the Enclave promo disc holding down the bottom-left corner.  Unlike the other prints, this is a standard 24x36” size, and will be framed shortly. Or maybe in 4 months, who knows now. I feel like I’m going to have to display the concerts side?? Tough choice, good choiceEdit caligulamprey posted:Hell yeah, dogg! No joke I was gonna ask the same thing before I saw CPL’s request, idk if you wanna be a weirdo buying three copies of a record. pwn fucked around with this message at 01:23 on Mar 21, 2020 |

I'd be really surprised if they even pressed more than a couple hundred copies. They're probably long gone. It's never even turned up on discogs or ebay and it was self released. I'm not holding my breath on that one.

Supposedly it's a really good CD player because of the DAC it uses or some bullshit. I was never exactly blown away with it but I tried it way back when because I found it in a thrift for ten bucks. I'm sure it's probably bullshit but I don't listen to CDs very often so I never felt like bothering with getting a proper CD player.

How will you ever play this ridiculous thing, though  I recently unearthed a couple boxes of CDs out of storage, and then a friend decided to unload another box on me. My cup runneth over with nowhere to go (I seriously need shelving)  And I can't loving believe I forgot to post this before: My friend painted me a portrait of Kate Bush for my birthday.

I'm sure it's probably bullshit but I don't listen to CDs very often so I never felt like bothering with getting a proper CD player. I use an old 5-disc Sony DVD player, with a TOSLINK. It also plays SACDs, which comes in handy when I want to play the one SACD I own. pwn fucked around with this message at 10:11 on Mar 21, 2020 |

Cemetry Gator posted:I'm not hoarding, I'm an audiophile looking for the best sounding toilet paper. Just a heads up that whole thing about how four ply sounds better because it's heavier is total bullshit. It's just a marketing gimmick. I have old single ply rolls from the 70s that sound way better than a lot of those those four ply reissues.

It makes me realize how much more efficient my rear speaker is than the mains. I wish I could play with the volume better. Still cool I’ll keep it for a while

If anyone in the US wanted anything from Austrailia but didn't buy it because if the shipping costs their dollar is tanking right now so this would be the time to buy your poo poo.

"Nite Flights" is so loving sick and Bowie's version is appalling. The record store I picked up Animal Collective's Tangerine Reef from is now doing curbside service and I'm gonna see if I can net that Live from 9:30 Club box set from them tomorrow. It'll probably be the last fun purchase I make before jailing myself for an indeterminable amount of time. caligulamprey fucked around with this message at 04:21 on Mar 27, 2020 |

caligulamprey posted:"Nite Flights" is so loving sick and Bowie's version is appalling. Jesus, tell me about it. You hear the words "David Bowie" and "Nite Flights" and think "Hell yeah!". Then you hear the song and there are no words to describe how disappointing that it is. Anyway it will always be funny to me that at some point someone was like "Nobody gives a poo poo about the rest, just put the first four on a disc and sell that.'.

Anyone else pre-order The Chats new album? I didn't want to spend $30 or whatever from their official site for the yellow version so I got the $16 Amazon version, expecting it to be black. I guess maybe there isn't a black version? A nice surprise, at least.

One of the local record stores is now doing curbside pick-up so I had to go back and pick Live at 9:30 up. Triple LP set (mine's hand numbered 1133/2000) with a sweet poster included.    I flip around, but more often than not Centipede Hz. is usually my top pick for Animal Collective because it's only concerned about my main two obsessions in music: texture and density.

Sorta. It samples a lot of Good Morning America, on the morning, right before it happened. The whole idea is that it marks the moment where we changed as a culture, the moment where the things that vaporwave draws from died. Pad Chennington has a pretty good video explaining it better than I could. Here's the album if you're curious. https://news-at-11.bandcamp.com/releases CPL593H posted:Vaporwave LPs sound pretty good but my prefered format is calling my doctor's office and being on hold. Ah, a man of taste.
