That's just 25 minutes of dicking around with a sticker that could have been better served by actually listening to the record.

It’s impossible to play a record while you dick around with another record. Fact. I get it, some folk have the patience of a chimp and need to tear into new things asap.

Sacred Bones' reaction to me asking why my Halloween Kills OST was still listed as sitting around waiting to be delivered to a post office after a week was "check back in a month." Ruuuuuude. Hey, no more records for awhile though, 'cause I just picked up Bjork tickets for a show on my birthday.

Picked up a couple of new albums from Electric Fetus in Minneapolis. I couldn't make it there after work so I had to order online but I'll pick them up tomorrow or monday. Got this in "limited edition" translucent red.  The only Christmas album I enjoy and they had the RSD peppermint version so I picked it up too.

I got the album on a whim because "Heh, Electric Avenue", but it's quickly hopped into regular rotation with just a few listens.:format(jpeg):mode_rgb():quality(90)/discogs-images/R-898423-1580212758-7244.jpeg.jpg)

Q for you DIY types - I bought a little 4x4 storage unit that was cheap but pretty sturdy. unfortunately it has no back panel. I'm thinking I could just nail some kind of cork board back there, unfortunately I can only find 12"x12" panels, when I really need like 14"x14". what would y'all put back there?

Mine are open backed, but I did cut wooden paint stir sticks to size to act as stoppers in the back so the records are even in the front.

Wood is stupid expensive right now so I'm not sure what this will cost but you can try just getting a panel of balsa wood or thin plywood that covers all four slots instead of trying to cover them individually.

Yeah, a sheet of like 1/8" plywood shouldn't be too much. Get the exact measurements and Home Depot or Lowes (or any lumber yard) will cut it to size in the store for you. Tack it in with some brad nails and you're gtg.

What about cheap wood paneling itself? The stuff you slap on walls to hide a multitude of sins. Sheets of that are pretty thin iirc and it'd be a prefinished look on one side unless you wanted to paint it anyways.

I have arriving in the next couple of weeks: a box of bluegrass, a box of 80s pop, and a box of 70s soul/funk. Boy, this hobby would be a lot cheaper if I only liked a couple of genres of music...

LooksLikeABabyRat posted:Mine are open backed, but I did cut wooden paint stir sticks to size to act as stoppers in the back so the records are even in the front. I had a similar fix for my 8 cube storage unit. My Marantz 510m is too deep to fit on top of my cube unit and still have exhaust air space if the shelf is against the wall. If I pulled it out from the wall records could slide too far back in the cubes to make it easy to grab them and pull them out. I just bought 4 wooden yardsticks and screwed them across the back of the cubes. Not the prettiest fix but I have each cube full of records so it doesn't show in front and most hardware stores only charge a buck a yardstick since they are cheap advertisement.

I'm listening to the Get Back LP from the Let It Be set, and I have to say this is one amazingly quiet LP. I also have to say the Get Back LP mix of Let It Be is definitely pretty strong. I just hate any mix of the Long and Winding Road without the orchestra. I think the instrument choices just sound way too thin and empty, and the song just feels skeletal.

I got Ys by Joanna Newsom today. God, what a loving gorgeous album. Also the first vinyl record that has a lyric book bound into the case itself, and not just as an insert. "Only Skin" is such a beautiful songs.

I should buy a record, but nothing's really thrilling me anything my brain is coming up with is a) way too expensive to consider b) something I already have c) just leaving me feeling like it's the equivalent of a shrug and "...eh."

A friend got me another copy a few years back. Thanks for reminding me to listen to it again Edit: i was gonna fix that typo but mossing feels incredibly appropriate for this record.

Listen to Perfume Genius. He rules. I'd recommend starting with his third album unless you like sadboy indie rock. His last three albums rule.

His album last year was my favorite release of the year. But yeah, his first two albums were him dealing with his new found sobriety, and aren't the same.

His discography is basically sad and gay-> angry and gay-> just loving gay and not giving a poo poo. I also just prefer the musical style of Too Bright onward. Also getting to be one of a few hundred gay men spitefully and sarcastically yelling "No family is safe when I sashay." was seriously one of the highlights of my life. He puts on an amazing show and if you ever get the chance go see him. He's also really funny and has all kinds of quips in between songs. His social media is hilarious.

For my birthday, MY GIRLFRIEND bought a giant cabinet, tore it apart and restained the wood and reconfigured the whole thing for me to create this beautiful fuckin thing.  Not pictured: the legs that were on it, because they couldn’t handle the weight. We are going to try and figure something out there. Truly an infuriating turn of events because it looked much cooler with them.    She even put strip lights and a dimmer on it. I have decided to call it The Monolith.
