CaptainBeefart posted:nice. If possible to describe what is it? I did a quick google and couldn't find any youtube tracks. It's from 1979. Side A is all snippets from a radio show, like the in between bits that the DJ does. He did a short interview with Mackie Feary about body surfing, and the news segment discussed Operation Green Harvest (weed bust). Also a lot of "[short silence] ....What a great song! I've got another one for ya up next! [Short silence]" Andy Bumatai keeps piping in to invite viewers to call in to guess today's mystery song, and here's Mr. Hurley with a surf update! "Susan from the music scene" has a very soothing voice as she tells us about new music releases. :3 Side B is the pic I posted, it's up next!

So my in-laws were feeling spicy and bought one of those "big bag of random singles for $15". They let me pick out what I wanted...  Featuring a cameo from my pizza blanket:  (Careless Whisper got cut off, sorry about that.)  (Centerfold/Rage in the Cage by J Geils Band; Sweet Home Alabama by Lynyrd Skynyrd)  (Some random country; June Carter; Tuff Enuff by the Fabulous Thunderbirds)  (Dancing in the Dark/Pink Cadillac by Bruce Springsteen; I Just Died In Your Arms by Cutting Crew; Take on Me by Aha)  (Saturday Night by Bay City Rollers; What's Love Got to Do With It by Tina Turner; Nothing's Gonna Stop Us Now by Starship)  (Conway Twitty and some Jesus tunes!)  (My dad in law went "Weird historical poo poo? Yup, that's yours.") The only duplicates were the Starship single, and even that was two different versions (one was from a movie).

Fripp was like the GOAT session guitarist wasn't he? like listen to Another Green World...brilliant record...but all the very best bits are Fripp doing that doodly-doodly-diddly thing. best part of "Heroes", maybe Bowie's single greatest tune, is his guitar line. was listening to some Van der Graaf Generator and this sweet guitar section kicked in on "Emperor and the War Room", and hey...guess who??

oh by the way I did wind up getting the ultrasonic cleaner. it's this one, if you're interested. I was interested because this is way cheaper than any ultrasonic cleaner I'd ever seen. as you might imagine there's some shoddiness to it...the instructions are literally five blurry photos out of order. but it's not hard to put together. it's just the tank and the spindle which has a motor that rotates the records. unlike some reviewers I did seem to get all the right parts at least. anyway, I don't wanna bore with the details. the results have been....kinda all over the map. it has definitely "rescued" some albums which I wanted to replace - night & day difference, way better than the spin clean. it has also done effectively nothing on others. obviously it depends what exactly the imperfections are but sometimes it's hard to tell. some of the records I ran through looked scratched as hell but wound up playing pretty well afterwards. what it's been really good on is some of the ambient stuff I have - Kankyo Ongaku & Green by Hiroshi Yoshimura. both of these albums came new so obviously they're in great shape, but they've have some pops & crackle that are quite annoying given the nature of the music. I am not sure where that came from (maybe the factory?) but after a go in there they are nearly dead silent. but the biggest improvement is on dirty old stuff. it doesn't work miracles - there's still some surface noise but it's notably quieter. the real change is in the sound of the music itself. everything is so much cleaner; you don't get that distortion on the loud bits anymore. the bass is much more clear. keep in mind this is all stuff I already ran through the spin clean. so it does make a difference. sometimes!! on other records, it didn't really do much of anything! so who knows?? should you get one? idk, depends on the value of your collection.

My Italians Do It Better situation is looking much better, apparently they had their reply in drafts but what's important is my stuff is on its way and already in the country. Just taking its time but I guess that's general shipping delays at work.

My partner's teenage half-niece came by to visit for Thanksgiving, and she hung out with me in my music room for a few hours while we listened to various 80s bops. Apparently, she is now telling her family that she wants a record player for Christmas...  She called me "the cool aunt" and my dead little black heart melted. :') Speaking of 80s, I have Greek copies of Rick Astley's second and third albums on their way.

Well, I've only been collecting since March of this year, so I haven't gotten all bitter and jaded...yet. Give me a couple years, ha. To be fair, I'm pretty sure her other aunts are like, strict Mormons. :P I basically won by default. By the way, CaptainBeefheart! Thought you'd be interested to know that one of the ads on that "Hawaiian radio DJ" album was announcing Gordon Lightfoot and Peter Frampton coming to the Wakiki Shell concert venue. It was a fascinating look into the past! I'd record some of it for ya if I had good enough tech, but unfortunately all I have is the lovely audio on my phone.

I'm definitely going to keep an eye out for that type of record in the future, it would be neat to find a local station and hear old adverts.

Potentially weird question: My tiny, NYC apartment is getting bug bombed next week. Will the chemicals used in that bomb mess with my vinyl collection in any way? Should I move the records to another room?

Did they tell you to take any precautions with any of your belongings? I would probably bag up my books, records, and clothes to avoid them absorbing smells.

I mean we have to take everything out of the cupboards in the kitchen and since it’s a small NYC apartment my record collection is basically also in the kitchen hahah

At my personal guess, if the bug poison attacked PVC there'd be a lot more at stake in your home that would take greater priority. Bagging stuff does sound like a good idea. Unless it's where the bugs hide.

Too many people just give a quick glance at the record if they even look at it. You can't really expect sellers to listen to every record through before they sell it either. Hell, I've missed some major skips at the store only to find out when I got home and spun it straight through. Anyway. I made a new mix of non holiday music to get you through the holidays. As always, all vinyl from my stacks. https://www.mixcloud.com/Radio_RapTz/moss-appeal-psychadelic-christmas-tree-v3/
