I was looking through the goodwill vinyl pile as I sometimes do, and I came across an album of what looked like rainforest sounds. Seemed like it might be an interesting ambiance thing maybe, and plus, I liked the cover art, which is like 90% of the reason to buy an album. As I was waiting in line to pay, I glanced at it and saw that it was recorded in Dolby Digital, which is unheard of for a vinyl record, must be pretty new and/or special!! Then I noticed that it appeared to be the soundtrack to an imax movie, interesting.   Then I got to my car, opened it up and realized I had just bought a LaserDisc.

Popping into this thread as something popped into my head a second ago; I'm not a vinyl aficionado by any means but there's something technical about the format, about which I think you cats could help give me a refresher: The way stereo information is encoded in the groove of a record is diagonal, correct? I mean, the groove moves up and down and left and right, but the contacts inside the stylus are in an X pattern, are they not? So one diagonal axis is the L channel, and the other is R? I was under the impression that this is how vinyl became a stereo format that still retained compatibility with mono records. Essentially the summing/difference going on inside the stylus is something akin to a Mid-Side matrix, and because of that, if you play a mono record on a stereo turntable, the information sums in a way that's not destructive. Am I somewhere in the ballpark of right here, or have I gotten something twisted? Mister Speaker fucked around with this message at 18:46 on Jan 5, 2023 |

Nightmare Cinema posted:I have a bad premonition that Phil Collins is gonna die very soon, so I'm swooping up as many Genesis albums as I can before he croaks and the price for everything skyrockets. I did that with Tim Curry's albums after I saw a photo of him from this past October. I was kinda half looking for them when I went to the used record shops so I could have the thrill of the hunt, so to speak. But after that photo I hit up Discogs for the two I needed.

It's cute  Apparently Record Collector magazine in the UK already reviewed the disc, according to a fan on their FB page, which is where I first got the name and street date. I did also find the empty Matador page, which popped up in Google because they probably have it ready to go live. I just hope it has one cover.BigFactory posted:Thank you for this, and the heads up about the jeepster sale. Got my poo poo over the weekend! Yay! Mine came in today.

I bought somebody's entire laserdisc collection last year for ~$250, came with two players (although only one functioned). I have begun collecting them. I don't know why - the quality is about that of a DVD on a good day, they're stereo only, and they take up a lot of room. Oh, and some of them rot. But they're cool. I made sure to get all of the original Star Wars, the Star Trek collectors box set, and some other classics like Alien, Aliens, T2, Robocop (all the collectors box sets), plus I recently grabbed Blade Runner and Demolition Man. They're all super cheap, but I don't see the value rising like vinyl did.

It’s got a couple of really good Sarah songs and Calculating Bimbo is an A+. I love girls in peacetime, too. Previous is the only one that I don’t feel like listening to much. But for the longest time I didn’t like dear catastrophe waitress so what do I know.

It’s got a couple of really good Sarah songs and Calculating Bimbo is an A+. Peacetime took me forever but when I cracked it it really opened up. I'll try not to prattle on, as I'm wont to do. The album has two configurations. One is the standard album, 12 tracks on cd and 2LP. The other is the deluxe expanded box, with four additional tracks and two extended cuts. I got both, but neither quite clicked. The standard didn't do it for me, I didn't hate it but I just couldn't get in the groove. The deluxe, well, that is like 4 EPs, each structured kind of like an old school 12" single (no remixes tho). Four unique discs with their own art and name, a lead single A-side at 45 with 3 B-sides at 33. The running order is completely different as well.  (Not my photo) An amazing concept, but again, couldn't quite "get" it, too much disc flipping and speed changing, breaking up the flow. What I needed was the deluxe program, but on a single disc. I got the Japanese CD, which has the four bonus tracks of the deluxe vinyl, though not the extended tracks, as the running time of that disc is 79 minutes and change, bumping the ceiling of the compact disc's capacity. The Japanese CD has the same running order as the standard album, with the four extra tracks tacked on the end, as per usual. I ripped it and put them in the deluxe running order. Now on the go or in the car I can listen to it and it is a mini-revelation. As either discrete 20-ish minute chunks for short trips or continuous playback for longer drives, it's just a joy to hear. And I can enjoy playing the EPs at home a lot better now. I failed at not prattling on. PM me if you want more info. Write About Love is a mood, if you accept that it and Previous are pop records rather than traditional B&S fare you'll have a better time. Weirdly it came out right after my dad passed, a time I should have been happy to have a new record to comfort me, but I slept on it for nearly a decade before finally coming around. Edit: The Deluxe edition is still readily available. Don't pay too much for it. I'm seeing it out there for under $40 pwn fucked around with this message at 03:40 on Jan 7, 2023 |

Going from the first six years of  to a Trevor Horn-produced album with poppy singles and everything, was no doubt a shock. I had been a fan for four years at that point and was all about DCW! And it gave us Stay Loose which is a gem. From the live album: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kTocth1nPIo And from last June at the Greek. Stuart can't help himself from getting in the crowd https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DiwHNW9TznI Also I can't believe I never posted these before.

more fun with classical music remaining permanently cheap as hell  this entire thing including the box set of Das Rheingold was $10. Which included a Seattle Opera program from 1980 which is kind of cool. also if you like Carmina Burana (i.e. "O Fortuna") you really should listen to Janacek/Glagolithic Mass, it's in the same vein of early modernist liturigal/choral music and also isn't composed by an actual Nazi. really Janacek was an incredible composer who more people should know, especially if you love that early modernist period like Bartok and Stravinsky Feels Villeneuve fucked around with this message at 19:47 on Jan 7, 2023 |

My turntable suddenly started turning too slow, which I understand is likely a worn belt. Got a new belt and installed it and now it's going too fast. What's going on here? Busted RPM switch? Actually I know what's going on. It's one of those cheap Crosley looking suitcase-style ones that has already outlived its normal lifespan. I'm holding out until my birthday in April before getting a good one, but is there anything that I can do with this one until then?

Does switching speeds to 45 speed it up even further? Honestly it's pretty weird that a newer turntable would have belt issues to begin with, so maybe something else is a factor here.
