 Got a couple albums with Hiroshi Nagai-illustrated covers, which were cheaper to buy and ship from Hong Kong than to preorder from US-based distributors, as well as Takuya Kuroda's album from November which they had to send me twice.  Also visited a new to me record store and found a few things

That Lui is such a cool album. I found a sealed OG copy for cheap on Maui last summer. SwimNurd fucked around with this message at 16:28 on Feb 25, 2023 |

Someone saying Tin Machine was good would be at least mildly unusual given the very mixed reception it got at the time it was released.

 Found a copy of Tangerine Dream's Underwater Sunlight mixed in a $3 trunk that was otherwise Mantovani and 101 Strings. Singles need cleaning but were $1 each. On the right is Del Shannon's Keep Searchin'. On the left is perhaps the epitome of southern beach music of the 1960s, the Swingin' Medallions' Double Shot (of My Baby's Love).

As a high schooler, I had a copy of Tangerine Dream’s Green Desert that I must have played the absolute poo poo out of. It was so moody and atmospheric and completely unlike anything I had been exposed to before. Kicking myself for not saving more of the old vinyl when my mother sold her house…

I wasn't paying attention while putting Propaganda back into its jacket, and managed to undo the entire bottom seam. There was no tearing, just 50 year old glue finally giving up.  I need to repair a few others, so are there any recommended glues for record jackets or would any standard paper/cardboard glue be ok?

Grabbed that off them when I saw them live in the… mid 00s? Always thought it might be one that would become more valuable but never really seemed to shift in price much. Fun gimmick, can’t remember if I’ve ever played mine.

CPL593H posted:That thing hit stores ages ago. If you're not holding out for whatever pretty colors LITA is selling and this album is hard to get there are several copies at the Newbury Comics in my area. It's the overpriced Newbury variant so it's 40 bucks though. But if you absolutely must have it I can pick it up for you and send it your way (obviously for the money). 'Preciate the offer but at this point the value in this record is seeing how long it will take to actually be delivered. It's like a perpetual game of roulette where I put $40 on black a year ago and the ball keeps skipping around the wheel. Where will it drop!?

This one is really simple. You literally just need a bead of Elmer's along the seam and a few books to lay on it while it dries.

Hot Diggity! posted:I love the Locust and had so many gimmicky CDs of theirs. Yeah, I played it after taking the photos and it's fun, it's what you expect from The Locust, but literally most of the tracks are like one 50 second song and then you gotta flip. When you finally get to the single 2 minute song it's a relief.

One of my favorite Desert Daze memories was seeing a bunch of old school hippies running for their lives when The Locust started. I think they wandered in and didn't know what they were getting in to.CaptainBeefart posted:And I thought The Flaming Lips Zaireeka CD set was complicated... God those dudes should probably be my thing, but they're absolutely not my thing at all. See also: They Might Be Giants.

Managed to track down a new copy of one of my favorite albums of all time over President's Day weekend (@ 30% off even). Last one in stock from some record store in Iceland (one of my favorite places). It sounds great!

Fresh in today, about two months late but they were really cool and sent clear, honest updates.  Oh yeah, speaking of triple lps that should have been here in December, this came in late last month  Though they were opaque and used PR-speak, and they also never answered why some people got their preorders on time and others were delayed 5 weeks. Or why they had copies sent to retail before fulfilling their preorders. So they don't get a nice photo. That'll learn em  No but realtalk the whole experience left a bad taste in my mouth about modern Ween. Yes their distro hosed it up but they're big boys who have been doing this for a while and should have their poo poo together by now. Dunno why they cut ties with Schnitzel in the UK, they were solid. Anyway it's good so far, I played disc one last month. I'll get around to finishing it at some point.

Hello friends, I'm finally posting that vaporwave music thread (A E S T H E T I C welcome as well) this weekend, a couple folks in PYF expressed interest so why not make my first real thread after 10 years?  I'll post a link here once it's done, in case any of you nerds care or are even slightly curious about it.pwn posted:Fresh in today, about two months late but they were really cool and sent clear, honest updates. I've never heard of this before but I'm listening to this now and it's sick as hell. Wish-listed!

caligulamprey posted:It's a compilation of their last couple of albums minus the vocals and samples. I point this out because jumping on board with Speech Free would be a buck wild starting point, 'cause sampling is Negativland's bread and butter. Something like this (which also shows up on Speech Free minus vocals and samples) paints a much more accurate picture of their message: This is sick as hell but it's A Lot for 9 in the morning, ha.  I'll be bookmarking this and checking the rest out later tonight, with some weed and with the lights off, ha. I'm a sucker for some sampling, so looking forward to it!

We had trouble finding some early in the pandemic for some humidifiers, and then it turned out Home Depot regularly had largely quantities of the stuff at various local stores, I guess because it has some use in plumbing equipment or something. This seems regularly to be in stock in our local Home Depots: https://www.homedepot.com/p/Crystal-Springs-1-Gal-Distilled-Water-1001801198/206873687

I know it's basic indie bitch stuff but In The Aeroplane Over The Sea is so good. There's that NMH boxset being re-released soon but I couldn't justify the whole price for the two albums.

Big box store was clearing out some stock at relatively decent Australian prices, so nabbed: Dua Lipa - Future Nostalgia Muse - Absolution Chvrches - Screen Violence Future Nostalgia whips, Absolution is the second best Muse album and they didn't have Origin of Symmetry so I settled, and Screen Violence gets a pretty good rap around here so I blind bought it. Pretty neat way to close Friday.
