I received a copy of Donuts today, that I completely forgot I ordered when it was super cheap on amazon a while back, so that's a pleasant surprise

It's the Evolution Revolution.
Managed to snag a repress of the Chameleon's Script of the Bridge from Vinyl Junkies for $60 bucks shipped (a double LP but seriously ... ouch). That hurt, but it's like a grail record for me. Hope it gets here in great shape. I've always had great luck with their records in the past. Looks like I bought their very last one too.

This record was surprisingly the most expensive I've bought so far (by a pretty good margin)




And mock me if you must, I love the music of Robyn dammit!!

animal collective apparently sent out random 12"s of their new 21 minute (!) single Defeat to a bunch of random fans yesterday, jealous of them. great song, this was a stunner in their last tour and has been in the works since i think 2018. i've heard a lot of versions and was hoping they could do it justice in the studio..... i think they did. official release/announcement supposedly coming next week, and hopefully album announcement too

Also now that I have a turntable, I can finally listen to my Lou Barlow vinyl that I bought forever ago (I had him sign it, I felt like such a dork asking lol but he was extraordinarily cool about it)

Just saw Earth and immediately snatched up this one. Angel of Darkness Demons of Light II is my favorite, so hearing Dylan Carlson with a cello backing him up was an instant buy. This one's a tribute to Geneviève Castrée. Definitely an easier listen than A Crow Looked at Me.

I dunno about DC proper, but if you're generally around that area and in or near Falls Church, then CD Cellar (105 Park Ave., Falls Church) is worth a visit -- wide selection, tons of used LPs that seem to turn over constantly, prices are reasonable and everything I've bought from there has been in great shape.

What does everyone think of this altp-120 as an entry level player for someone looking to get into the hobby? Budget is 300 usd.

That’s what I use. Tech moan has a good guide on building a stereo system on the cheap that worked for me at the start of the pandemic. I did buy the speakers and turntable new, but with patience and eBay watching I was able to put together a decent little system for under 300.

I don't know if you're thinking secondhand turntables as and option, but I got my Technics SL-D303 off of Craigslist for $99 like 12 years ago and it still works like a tank.

Fwiw, I just hooked my kid up with this system for her birthday. It's by no means high end, but it ended up pretty great for the money. The speakers have RCA and Bluetooth inputs so she can use then for everything:

I got the Audio Technica LP 60X from their refurbished store and NEUMI BS5P from amazon a few months ago when I started getting into vinyl and have been very happy with both, though the speakers took about a month to ship. I'd imagine the higher "tier" LP120 would be great too. Not sure what all's on AT's refurbished store but that might be worth checking out, my turntable looked brand new in the original packaging when I bought from them.

Some of my recent purchases. All but the 'I Want To See The Bright Lights Tonight' record were bought locally; I spent a couple years trying to find it in the wild but gave up and grabbed it from Discogs.

That Can album is seriously good, I mean of all those late 70s albums from once-great bands that were falling apart it's got to be one of the best ones. RYM has it at a 2.82 which is insane, feel like if it just wasn't under the name "Can" it would score a lot higher

lol "Songs of Season 1" was such a big thing for me because prior to that all I had were mp3s which were probably just ripped direct from someone's TV set onto a tape recorder. Season 2 had so many songs I loved, I think about "Lonely Sexy Heart" all the time, cmon boys give us the double vinyl with 120 songs on it

I don't know why it took me so long to check this one out, there's a lot of fun tracks on it. That 2.82 rating is wrong.

I had a similar experience with the Disco Elysium soundtrack. Not sure how much of it was their fault but I have no interest in buying from them again based on my experience.
