Going up to Seattle soon. Staying around the Pike Market area I guess. Any good shops up there? Planning on buying lots of grunge records so I don't look like a tourist. Here is a picture to trigger everyone's OCD...

Peas and Rice posted:Apparently there's a place in the Market itself that has a really good selection of old stuff, but I haven't been there and have no idea if it's as overpriced as everything else in that area. It's in the basement (I think) so if you're in the market anyway and aren't leaving that area, that's pretty much your only choice. Cool. I figured the prices might suck. Will probably be up in Capitol Hill a bit. Didn't know there was an Everyday up there.

Toe Rag posted:Singles Going Steady is my favorite record store in Seattle, mostly punk stuff. Sonic Boom is your typical indie music store, with 2 or 3 locations ... mostly new stuff, but some used. Everyday Music has anything and everything, while Jive Time has a garage sale vibe. Jive time sounds like my jam. Got Everydays all over PDX so I might skip it up here.

I found two copies of The Apple soundtrack, two Frogs records, a pristine copy of Ween's The Pod, all sorts of crazy poo poo. This. Everyday Music can be found on both sides of town. Music Millennium is the classic Portland shop

I think I started cataloging up to Classic Rock "B" and sorta lost interest. Plus I had a bunch of un-filed poo poo. Maybe I'll enter them in as I buy them? Haha. Who am I kidding. This weekend's haul.  Technically not from this weekend. Was browsing Amazon bored a few weeks ago and the Highwaymen was $7 and Leon Bridges was $11.  Weird seeing Stoner Witch with a Third Man label. Kinda a lovely pressing though. there are some raised bumps in the grooves. Been looking for Budgie for a minute. Found a copy for $16 and jumped on it. You get what you pay for. Lots of surface noise and some skips but pretty playable. What it is box set from an insound sale. 25 funky 45's.  Reissues galore. Charles Bradley scene on Luke Cage reminded me I should have some of his stuff.  Where the Buffalo Roam OST. Some pretty terrible Neil Young stuff, Bill Murry singing Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds and not enough dialog from the film. Oh well it was $5. For some reason I thought Quasimoto was out of print and hard to find. Guess not. Happy to finally add it to the collection. Selling some old black metal records from years ago helped me with my purchases. sporklift fucked around with this message at 03:05 on Oct 4, 2016 |

Joined the vinylmeplease to get my hands on Odelay as its the only pre Guero album of his I don't own. Then I saw they were having a sale and had the $10 off referral code. Pretty stoked with the service so far. Hopefully the next two records will be cool. Oh and they sent me a mystery 45. Some dude, James Vincent McMorrow. Not really my jam but a fun little bonus. Total haul was only $55. Not to shabby. Though if I had known at the time the Beck stuff was getting a wide release I probably would not have bothered. I am perfectly fine with plain old black vinyl.

Bargain bins, birthday, and a surprise from amazon. Elton John's second album. Its got a couple good songs. A little on the bombastic side but it was only a couple bucks. Shhh by Ten Years After. Nice psych heavy blues. Good friend gave it to me for my birthday. He bought it on the cover alone and the album is pretty cool. Piiptsjilling is one I grabbed for three bux from that Experimedia sale. I liked it best outta that bunch. Nice ambient stuff. Been waiting for Skull Flower from Sun Angle for a bit. Dude I know is in the band and I like to support local bands but I did have to go the Amazon route cause it was sold out or not carried everywhere I looked. Heavy modern psychedelic stuff.

Basically the owner of the shop let us shop his personal collection. I grabbed these. Nice. It's way cooler to find stuff in the wild. Found my Quasimoto that I had been looking for cheap a couple weeks ago.

Things are starting to roll in... Pre-orders and some overseas Amazon stuff Twin Peaks OST on drat Fine Coffee colored vinyl.    My friend's band Genders Phone Home on translucent purple wax.   Same buddy found a unopened box of a 45 his grandfather pressed and gave me one. Probably from the 50's or early 60's. Guess he was a jazz guy but it looks like they tried their hand at a novelty record. Pretty weird stuff.   Japanese Garage Comp. on purple swirl.   Tom Waits Early Years V.1-2 snagged from AmazonUK for about $25 shipped   Grabbed this without thinking 'cause it was seven bucks. When I got it I realized it was indeed all of their hits.... re recorded in the 2000's. It's not bad... just slightly off.   Goblin La Via Della Droga OST on heroin white wax  Dope soundtrack though...  Drive OST that I ordered drunk and paid way too much for, but damned if it isn't the most neon pink vinyl I have ever seen. This thing will definitely glow under a black light.   VMP edition of The Fugees

King Vidiot posted:Taiwan records are the best. I mean, they're the absolute worst quality of sound and material but I love the typos and those cheap thin cellophane-covered paper sleeves. I have this one too. I grab them if I see them in the dollar bin. Kinda fun to have.   Some new arrivals. (Sorry for the blurry photos.)   Nina Simone Sings the Blues VMP exclusive. Last of my club. It was kinda cool but since these albums are available elsewhere I don't think I will re up. I don't really care about colored vinyl or the dumb drink recipe and the 'art' has been pretty lame.   Luke Cage Soundtrack. I'm not usually a soundtrack guy but this one is pretty sweet. Adrian Younge & Ali Shaheed Muhammad killed the Blaxploitation/Spaghetti Western/Hip Hop mashup. The yellow is a lot more pale than I thought it would be.   Buddy of mine had some old stock laying around from his label so I snagged the two samplers. Moden Funk from Omega Supreme Records.  A Christmas record. Has the classic lone dude trying to hype his bandmates into joining him. They all resist then BUST OUT!

I have a $90 audio technica and it works fine. Before that it was a $90 Sony that lasted for 10 years. (Actually it still works.) Before that it was hand me downs and thrift store tables. That Rega is belt drive. Only way I'm paying over 200 is if it is a direct drive. Buy a cheap table to start. Then once the vinyl fad dies you won't feel as dumb.

There is a new record store on the way home from work. Stopped in to check it out.  They were playing Moondog Monologue. Oh hey I've been looking for that...$100 original pressing... nevermind. But it was a cool little store and I picked up more than I intended but that's the way it always goes.Don't know much about this one but my friend played it on my show this week and it was the first record I saw in the new arrivals so I had to snag it.  ...and right after that I found one of my favorite Kinks records.  A Mondo record at a super low price. Played a couple of songs at the listening station. Weird and funky so I snagged it. It will make good segue music.  Cheap wax. Good poo poo  Light in the Attic had a small sale on their website and I snagged a couple.  My favorite Roky Erickson.  Holy poo poo that etching.  And that is why I have no money. Doesn't help that my wife is a total enabler. I'll be looking at something, mention how cool it is, mention that it is too expensive, and then she is just like, "You should get it."

Peas and Rice posted:Here was my life cycle as a vinyl collector: I was lucky in my vinyl acquisitions. I started buying in the 90's when everyone was dumping theirs and replacing them with CDs. I was able to get tons of classic rock stuff for super cheap. I also had friends that worked in record stores so I would get hooked up. A few of my friends were DJ's at clubs around town, but we ended up starting some DJ nights at dive bars and just tried to one up each other with weird stuff. I actually fell out of collecting for the past few years and after moving 1000+ records a couple times was seriously considering getting rid of all of it. (I like to tell people I bought a house for my records with the bonus that I get to live there) I started filling in for a friend on his internet radio show and so I'm back to crate digging. The landscape has changed a lot. On the one hand it is nice to grab some of the more esoteric re-issues but on the other hand the price increase seems to average about $10 for new records. http://www.musicismysanctuary.com/crate-digging-dont-do-it caligulamprey posted:The Visitor soundtrack is awesome and the movie rules: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c0vBRdplSps Yes. Yes it does. I had forgotten that I actually started watching this movie but I don't think I ever finished it.

I don't think it would ever make the record worth more unless the pressing is unique in other ways... as for decreasing the value it just depends on the person buying it and whether that bugs them or not.

Only ten or so that I didn't like. (Pop Punk bugs the poo poo outta me) But there was some good hardcore and grind. Some colored wax and an etched one. Nothing I would have sought out on my own but it was fun to go through.

CPL593H posted:This is one of those things I would absolutely buy if I saw it somewhere for ten bucks. Same. Found some stuff in the cheap stacks this week. Made up for some garbage records that I bought earlier.  Kinda bizarre funk from WAR's harmonica player.  I listened to this in the store and thought I could deal with the scratches but got it home and it sounds really lovely. Oh well. Cool cover at least.  Side two of this record is unplayable but the first side has the best stuff anyway. Can't beat it for two bux.  Been looking for this for a bit. Suprisingly the most expensive record of the bunch. I remember seeing this in the dollar bins back in the day.  Another $2 record. Vinyl was pristine.  Mellow piano stuff. Nice change from what I usually listen too.  I have another Bohanon record that is more disco. So I was surprised at how good this first record was. This was probably my best score this week for 5 bucks.   Reggae is not my thing but I thought it was cool they made a hacky sack colored vinyl.
