Saw a UK store has Daft Punk - Alive 2007 for sale and trying to decide if I want to pay $62 for it (shipping to US is pricey). I am sure I will regret it if I don't pull the trigger but I wanted to grab the TRON soundtrack from Mondo today as well. I did a bunch of cleaning over the weekend and realized I have way too many loving records. I was cleaning out the closet in my office / record room and have 6 boxes with over 150 45's each, and 4 boxes of about 50 LP's each just tucked away, most of which I haven't looked through. If I ever get around to going through them, I will try to post a list of everything here and sell them for a really good price. I know I have some popular stuff that I won't ever listen to that people could grab to fill out their collection without having to spend like $20 on a dinged Beatles record.

Owning a turntable and wanting no part of $50 releases that sell out in an hour has gotten me back into classical music, which I pretty much abandoned in my 20s after a childhood/teens full of it (I played violin throughout school). There's just an utter shitton of great condition 60s-80s classical vinyl out there for $5 or less. Of course, still finding a few things that are $50+, but not many. Hoping this will give me something to do/collect while things rage out of control and then I can pick other stuff back up on the other side of whenever the bubble pops.

Same, but getting into opera for the first time. Picked up a really clean 60’s pressing of Der Rosenkavalier on discogs for like $6 plus shipping. People are sleeping on some really good stuff in that genre. Downside is the shelf space eaten up by the boxes they are in.

I wouldn't fret about Tron Legacy. It's been reissued several times over. I'm sure in about six months or so there's going to be another pressing if they didn't already press a bunch more for the next time they reissue it. In other news I have four of the six Sparks albums I ordered. The remaining two should be here by the end of the week. stealie72 posted:Owning a turntable and wanting no part of $50 releases that sell out in an hour has gotten me back into classical music, which I pretty much abandoned in my 20s after a childhood/teens full of it (I played violin throughout school). I don't know that the bubble is going to pop soon but I'm guessing prices will take a little dip when everyone is vaccinated and getting laid again.

COVID insanity notwithstanding, I've watched a few hobby bubbles grow and pop over my lifetime, and it seems likely that at some point, more than one entity is going to run the numbers on the insanely hot vinyl market and open new pressing plants, which will make a bunch of money as they ride the wave of an austerity mindset until pent-up demand is handled, then begin to undercut one another on price, slowly at first, and then to the point that we're getting audiophile pressings of things for $15. Until one or more go out of business and the cycle begins anew. This is probably a decade-long cycle, though.

I'm not necessarily convinced the bubble will burst (at least not anytime soon) but more pressing plants opening up should really alleviate the current issue. I feel like there's a lot of niche stuff going for crazy amounts that *would* be repressed but the lines are so long they're not even bothering. Discogs' price history tool seems to be doing more harm than good right now - I've spotted a lot of LPs which have sold one copy in the last 6 months at an all-time high, which has caused the sellers to relist at that price + an additional 20-50%. it seems to be getting harder and harder to spot the one copy that someone's actually trying to sell.

I just bought my first turntable. I used to consider listening to music to be among my main hobbies, but thanks to the omnipresence of digital streaming, it's been relegated to more of a background role in my life. I bought a handful of my favorite albums and I'm really looking forward to reconnecting with music.

Albums made after the mainly singles era which were just comps are meant to be listened to as a complete work. Last year, I realized that in the past 10-ish years I've gone from seeking out interesting music and listening to it on purpose, to making and almost exclusively listening to playlists out of the high-bitrate MP3s my CD collection turned into, to treating it like background noise on shuffle through mid-quality paid spotify while I work and drive. Rarely, if ever, listened to an album on purpose, and that sucked. So my wife got me a u-turn orbit for christmas, I hooked up my old receiver and speakers, and am now improving my relationship with music. Only this time in a giant format with huge artwork that takes me back to my first music purchases (Thriller and Innocent Man, that I then hosed up on a fisher price turntable). As someone who spent a long time paying $15/per for CDs, I can't pretend that having access to all the music ever on a little glass rectangle in my pocket doesn't rule, but it also made my relationship with music a lot more superficial. Thank you for attending my TED talk, please pull around to the second window to pick up your order.

stealie72 posted:Yeah, exactly why I'm here. In my 4.5 decades, I've been a musician for most of it, a DJ, a program director, and the owner/curator of a multi-thousand CD collection. Music is my medium, it's what makes my brain work, and is the rabbit hole I fall down. I bought a CD player in 89 with my paper route christmas tip money, and spent every gift giving holiday collecting money to improve my system and buy CDs through HS and College. Feel ya' on nearly every point. I also got a U-turn orbit! It doesn't even come for three more weeks and I already have a stack of records a foot high and a bunch more in the mail.

I was trying to by Loveless for a friend but it was out of stock by the time I tried to buy it early this morning. Good ol’ not-making-enough-of-things. Only indulging this FOMO because it was to be a birthday gift. For the Nth time, I’m glad my favourite band just keeps their poo poo in print. I think less of you if you intentionally short supply like this.

Buy the Nokia edition of this album. https://mdoumoctar.bandcamp.com/album/preorder-afrique-victime-vinyl quote:In addition to vinyl, CD, picture disk and digital formats, the album will be available as a special and limited cellphone edition. Hearkening back to the way Moctar's music originally spread and proliferated across the Sahara via word-of-mouth Bluetooth mobile phone swaps, this collector's edition of Afrique Victime arrives pre-loaded onto a classic Nokia 6120 handset and specially mastered for it. Disclaimer: You can only make calls on this phone in countries that have 2G coverage (not US). Edit. I have seen them twice and they are loving mindblowing desert blues. If you are a fan of Tinariwen check them out.

Biggest regret of Desert Daze 2019 was sitting through a Flaming Lips show because everyone insisted I had to see them at least once instead of hitting the Mdou Moctar set. Wayne Coyne can eat me.

To be fair the Flaming Lips put on a pretty drat good show too...

I saw them a few years later and it was mediocre and disappointing. I think they barely did an hour. Though in the band's defense the crowd was kind of square and low energy so they probably just phoned it in and got off the stage. Tame Impala opened for them and they are soooooooooooo boring live.
