I bought a copy in 2010 and it sounds pretty good. Not sure how it can be improved upon (with the late-00's "lo-fi" production and everything).

haljordan posted:mp3 copy I downloaded years and years ago That's a really low bar though. I've always felt like the original LPs for their first couple albums lacked dynamics. I'd really only be interested in Congratulations at this point because I always thought that was by far the better album and at this point in my life I've listened to Oracular Spectacular enough where I probably never need to hear it again. I remember when Congratulations came out people lost their poo poo because it went in a different direction and was more of a psych rock album than a dancey thing. But I always found the people who said that to be folk who never listed to the b-side of the first record. It's weird to me how big MGMT was and how little anyone ever talks about them anymore. I have opinions about MGMT.

They seem a bit like Gotye in that they accidentally made a radio hit but it wasn't really what they were about creatively.

caligulamprey posted:I hit the early show. I don't know how the late show ended up, Dan said at the beginning that they'd been awake and travelling since 1 AM the previous night so we were definitely gonna get the better set. Dude still brought it and it's always great to see him with Jeremy Hyman on drums. Last week was a real gauntlet of shows, I ended up hitting Gary Numan, Jerry Harrison and Adrien Belew doing Remain in Light, Dan Deacon and Mr. Bungle last night. Ah drat, yeah I had late show tickets. At least I sold them to a big fan who said he missed him last time around. Flight didn't get in early enough for Mr. Bungle either, but my buddy went and said it was killer. Cruel World was kinda a poo poo show at the end (also considering that Adam Ant cancelled about a day before) - we were watching a very silly Human League set, about to head over to Iggy Pop before Siouxsie came on, and like 3 songs in it was interrupted with an announcement that there was lightning in the vicinity so everyone had to leave the festival right then. Cue an absolute clusterfuck as the entire festival exited at once. We ended up saying gently caress the insane shuttle\ride share lines outside the gates and walked about a mile or so up a hill away from the Rose Bowl and were able to get a Lyft out about 20 minutes after that. All that being said, I feel like there was surprising order to everything given the amount of drunk people who were probably pissed at missing the headliner. I guess having an average age of about 50 there meant that the attendees tended to be more tired drunk than destructive drunk haha. They also had a decent follow-up for it by putting on a makeup show with Gary Neuman, Iggy, and an extended Siouxsie set the next evening, so those who could stay kinda made out. My take away from the sets was that Love and Rockets absolutely killed it, and ABC was tight as hell. Echo and Modern English were great, but I'd seen them both at smaller venues here last year, which I enjoyed more. Also, we expanded this year and had 7 in our crew (up from 4 last year), which in some ways made it easier for my friend and I to do our own thing when we wanted, but also made that crazy ending way more complicated because we were all in different spots when it happened. Festivals, man.

It’s their best album. My housemate at the time got so angry about RAM because she was convinced that it was just a placeholder for a 'real' album, meanwhile I was getting my yacht rock groove on. I loved it then and I still love it now.

I think everyone was waiting for them to do what Justice did with Woman via Woman Worldwide and give us a club banger remix album and maybe even they thought they'd do that but at the same time it seems like that whole experience just sapped up all they had left in the tank for music

My copy of The Hotelier's Goodness came and gently caress disc 1 is warped as hell, and side A gets stuck in a loud popping loop near the end. I emailed the place I bought it from (Steadfast Records), but who knows what they'll do. Their site says they only have 1 copy remaining and I'm not buying another one. My copy of Oso Oso's Real Stories of True People, Who Kind of Looked Like Monsters came also. And I ordered 2 Get Up Kids albums from Newbury and those came as well, both glow in the dark which is just a weird gimmick but they were in the under-15$ section so not really a big deal. Those also arrived. My copy of The Format's Interventions And Lullabies has been stuck in Lansing, MI for like 2 days now, however.

I live like an hour northwest of Detroit. Lansing is like an hour and a half west of me. It spent the weekend in Grand Rapids which is like 2 hours west. Before it was in GR, it was in Pontiac which I live very close to. It originally came from North Carolina. This record has spent like 5 extra days traveling Michigan for no reason. I have no idea what the USPS is doing.

I was more laughing at Vinyl's but I did end up getting some for the 7". They seem fine. I'm not gonna be moving it around much. I wish the box wasn't so deep so I could flip through the vinyl's easier.

Impulse shopping will be the death of me. Local shop, Into the Music, posted some of their new stuff that came in and I then I saw they had Soundgarden's debut, Ultramega OK! The post was only 25 minutes old and already had someone asking about price. Called up and thankfully still there - $78 CAD. gently caress it. Lets do it. Also reserved Krokus' Headhunter cause that album loving kills (Night Wolf and Stand And Be Counted are classics)... then I dug more and gently caress me. Thankfully everything else was cheap and they do 10% off if you spend more than $100 for some reason. Krokus - Headhunter Krokus - Change of Address Joe Walsh - There Goes the Neighborhood (Love "Life of Illusion") Soundgarden - Ultramega OK (SST-01 - unsure if its the 1988 original or the 2012 reissue - prob latter as it seems to be pristine. Came with a little insert with a band photo and on the flipside credits which Discogs shows as only on the 1988 one... who cares tho) Toto - S/T (I for some reason confused the song "Only Time Will Tell" by Asia for Toto lol but this album is alright too - pretty sure I don't have it but gonna double check when I get back) Donald Fagen - The Nightfly (I adore Steely Dan and this album just continues those vibes) Vintersorg fucked around with this message at 19:40 on May 24, 2023 |

I have Private Dancer and I am gonna spin that when I get home. Goddamn RIP. My mom played that album all the time growing up. The title song is so loving GOOD. Also confirmed my Soundgarden is the 88 original since the 2012 remaster doesn't have One Minute of Silence and mine does.
