caligulamprey posted:My friends and I are hitting the theater on Sunday because if there's something I know, it's other loving dorks. I cheated and nabbed the 3 CD greatest hits set off of ebay to get an instant wide sample of their career. I'll continue to keep an eye out for LPs but I'm bracing for a price increase and I've already hit up half the local shops I know of already. Hell, a documentary did wonders for Anvil I'm sure the boost from this will be quite welcome for Sparks too.

Moe_Rahn posted:Chris Hannah of Propagandhi is selling off pieces of his personal vinyl collection, via a Winnipeg record store. '80s and early '90s punk and metal, with more being listed every Sunday. Only problem is that shipping from Canada is a bit of a fucker right now. Why on earth is it $45 Canadian to ship a record to the US? Still pandemic issues?

Turbinosamente posted:I got plenty of other things recently but Herb is inevitable, thanks pwn!  My eyes have been itching and my nose has been runny for a few days. I thought it was river water (I swim every day), until I realized tonight that the vinyl copy of that album I bought Saturday is musty as all get out and has been sitting a few feet from me all week. I stuck it in the other room but will probably toss it at some point. Too bad. Re: Sparks movie, it ain’t playing around here. I kinda wish I had a different life that led to me getting into Sparks much earlier. I even saw their SNL performance many many years ago. I guess I just watched it and forgot about them. But it feels too late to get into a whole rear end new band, now (especially now, with the film coming out.) if someone tells me which one album I should get if I get no other Sparks album*, I may consider it. *I really don’t cotton to greatest hits albums

it dont matter posted:What model is your turntable? I was considering an upgrade and been looking at Fluance, would like something that uses a dark wood. I got the RT82, which is the entry point of the higher tier of models. The 80/81 have an integrated preamp, which I didn't want. Pretty sure the only upgrades from the RT82 are the stylus, and then the acrylic platter on the most expensive one. I like it a lot. Rock solid, the speed is stable, great sound. But i'm not an audiophile by any means.

It's really tough to say "Just one album!" because they're one of those bands that always sound like themselves but never always the same. If people ask were to start I say Kimono My House for their early glam rock period and No. 1 in Heaven for the start of their extensive use of synthesizers. They're both just very good albums too. Don't listen to the Big Beat. The Big Beat sucks.

I posted awhile ago about Muse - Origin of Symmetry getting a 20th anniversary remix/master vinyl in July and the whole thing just dropped digitally today. It’s very good if you liked the album as much as I did growing up.

 $75 dang dollars and they didn't even put Sextown U.S.A. on it. pwn posted:But it feels too late to get into a whole rear end new band, now (especially now, with the film coming out.) if someone tells me which one album I should get if I get no other Sparks album*, I may consider it.  They're a band where if you ask what album to get into everyone's gonna have a completely different opinion, but if you're itching for some '70s Glam Rock, Kimono My House is the defacto go-to. If you'd like some '80s New Wave that's really stupid, Angst in My Pants is a personal favorite. If you wanna dance, No. 1 in Heaven is that sweet bridge connecting Disco to '80s electropop. If you wanna class it up, Lil Beethoven and if you want '90s Techno you're gonna have to ask someone else, 'cause I'm not into that Sparks era.

I will always see Melt-Banana. Igorrr sounds like it's gonna be a fun one, but I have no idea what the live show's gonna be. It's either gonna be 20 people on stage or two dudes playing to a backing tape.

Moe_Rahn posted:Pandemic, customs, and $45 is enough to cover shipping to just about anywhere (and they're refunding if it ends up being less). I live in Missouri and I wound up getting $18CAD back as overage on the shipping. Getting a refund is nice for sure and more reasonable. I’m in the same boat as you, longingly looking at records that for whatever reason are only in Europe and effectively double in price when shipping is factored in.

Boinks posted:When you get it you should post your thoughts here. That thing blew me away after only hearing the CD for years. Arrived today and it sounds good. Honestly I haven’t listened to DSotM in a while and probably mostly did in my friends car in high school off a burned CD. There are definitely parts that sound, for lack of a more expressive term, a little flat or muddy. Like sometimes I want certain sounds or instruments to stand out a bit more. I have two records that blow me away each time with how they sound: Random Access Memories and Tracy Chapman. I don’t think this pressing is up there but it’s a perfectly good record.

LooksLikeABabyRat posted:One of the best live bands I’ve ever seen. It’s been a decade since I last saw them though. last couple of times I've seem em they were touring as a duo, seemed like it made it easier for them to gig around the states. Nothing beats the full group though I finally ordered myself a Fluance RT85 turntable, been staring at one in my cart for like 2 years. I'm going to make my kids sit and listen to each and every one of my albums and make them study the liner notes as I explain how that particular record was acquired and how it changed my life.

What's a decent source of liners and plastic jackets these days? I tried bags unlimited like the OP recommended but it doesn't look like the same store front. Now that I have a few albums, it's probably time to buy some things to keep the vinyl in good working order.

I've always just bought whatever liners/jackets as needed from whatever record store I happened to be in. I know it isn't a lot but I still feel like I'm supporting them.

I am about an hour and twenty minutes away from the nearest independent record store. I will check to see if any of them sell stuff online. I don't think I am making trip that far tomorrow but if not, I guess I can try again next time I go into the city.

As much as you hate to support the amazon machine that's where I get my plastic sleeving for records inside and out. I just get the mofi ones for inners but I can toss out a link for the outers when I'm not on mobile (I hate doing links on mobile because I am a luddite and find it cumbersome). edit: Boom a link. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000RA7IZS/?coliid=IWD2AK28IG835&colid=299P1XTEU6UAC&psc=1&ref_=lv_ov_lig_dp_it Turbinosamente fucked around with this message at 03:35 on Jun 20, 2021 |

Now that I have a few albums, it's probably time to buy some things to keep the vinyl in good working order. Seconding the MoFi sleeves. Also Bags Unlimited is still the same one mentioned in the OP. I use thier outers and I like them. They will also comfortably accommodate a double LP and you can even get a triple LP in them without them being too loose for single LPs. I'll post the ones I buy when I find them on their horrible website. edit: These are they. You can definitely get them cheaper than this because I only pay 20 bucks for them but I get them from a store. It might be tougher if you can't find a record store near you but I'm sure a website will have them cheaper than this. https://www.bagsunlimited.com/product/4186/12-record-jacket-sleeve-font-colorredno-flapfontbr12-34-x-12-34-x-b3-mil-bpolyethylene CPL593H fucked around with this message at 03:58 on Jun 20, 2021 |
