Why is everyone underrating the Bends? It's wall to wall bangers. Is it because you need to get the b-side Talk Show Host? Is that it? Because I love the Bends.

I think the problem is that if you're a Radiohead fan, basically all their albums are great in one way or another. So even if it's in the lower third it's still good

It is a rebrand of the the Gakken Toy Record Maker. It used to be cheaper, I don’t think it is anymore though. Thing is pure trash.

Yeah you can look up some youtube videos where people struggle to make anything sound listenable.

Anima is also the only good non-radiohead thing the entire group has produced on a solo basis.

It’s good but a lot of the songs make no impact. Planet telex rules

Also the person you quoted has amnesiac as the worst Radiohead album and that is the opinion of a twisted lunatic.

Tbf, I only listened to Amnesiac once like 10 years ago and wasn't wowed by it.

Maybe it's time for a revisit.

Amnesiac rules. It has two songs that are either too abrasive (Push/Pulk) or an inferior redux (morning bell 2). And everything else on it is immaculate

I know what you did last summer, and frankly I am displeased.
Radiohead is one of those bands I could never get into because every single Radiohead fan I'd ever met up to the point in my life where you'd be getting into things like that was incredibly annoying and probably also a douchebag. And when I was in high school this one obnoxious burnout would play Karma Police on the juke box in the senior lounge every single day. I'm not making that implication about anyone here. Just that these experiences completely turned me off of the band forever, plus I just can't stand Thom Yorke and he's got one of the most punchable faces in the history of faces.

At least Amazon returns are pretty painless. I took a record from them back to Kohls and Kohls gave me a $10 coupon for it on top of Amazon doing a full refund.

The movie is really good, though it's not a Christmas movie, despite the title.

It's also fascinating because it's a Japanese film, but it's mostly in English. Reading about the writing of the film was fascinating because the translator pointed out a ton of problems with the original script. Basically, the original script had the British speaking like Japanese people would speak.

Bowie also pointed out how much attention to detail there was, and how much of the camp that never shows up on screen.

Merry Christmas vinyl thread! There was a shiny new ultrasonic record cleaner under the tree for me.



I had to order a few different chemicals to make a cleaning solution with, so will be a few days before I can actually use it. First impressions are great though, seems to be well built.

Half the time Amazon doesn't even make you return poo poo they just go "oops!" and send another one. But this is what you get when you order a company that just has endless warehouses full of exhausted people who have to get poo poo out the door as fast as they can or they get fired.

Help me out. I need to buy some new sleeves. Oversized ones that can fit like a double-LP gatefold. I have normal, 3mm ones. I also have large ones that can fit boxsets. The large ones hang far too loose on the problematic records. Anybody know of a good source for ones that are, say, twice the width of the "regular" sleeves? I just got a couple of Pharaoh Sanders reissues and, like some of my records, I can't find a sleeve that fits them well.
