I bought a crosley c200 which broke almost immediately which I then returned and replaced with a u-turn orbit plus. It's much better.

My Lovely Horse posted:That's a great one. Tom the Model is one of my all-time favourites since old times. I was actually in the same boat until I was skimming wikipedia the other day. Such a great album. I am really enjoying the hunting aspect of finding albums that are out of print but I also think this... collecting may be an affliction a bit. Seeing something I want in my collection down to one listed copy or limited edition or something like that tickles a very strange part of my "buy it now" brain and I imagine I am not the only person in this thread like that. I really need to set myself a budget or something but my collection is so empty right now.

I found I had a lot of dead time cooking or cleaning that I'd fill the empty sound with tv and it feels a lot better to put on a record and let it play. Granted I could do that with bluetooth/spotify but then I'm inclined to fiddle around with stuff and hop around songs.

Alright I think I have it right finally up there as the second one. Like I said the math is really loving with my head but ~44.6s for each frame, at 30fps, rotating 12degrees each iteration.

^^^ I also like Let's Dance and Tonight. The only album I really cold on is Never Let Me Down.CPL593H posted:I heard him say about the Let's Dance era/tour he said "I had an audience of Phil Collins fans when I wanted an audience of Iggy Pop fans.". That sums up his all his 80s work after Scary Monsters. Speaking of which, how the gently caress did he go from Scary Monsters to Let's Dance? That kind of drop off is almost impressive. I think it was part studio influence and part he was just creatively exhausted at that point so he was trying to go back to the familiar things that worked. His resurgence in the 90s is my favorite of his output though. Not a bad album from Outside to the end. And speaking of - re-release those goddamned albums already, Parlophone. I will give you so much money just so I don't have to pay $200 for outside.

screaden posted:Look at all these folks missing out on Earthling and Outside. Those are great albums. Hours and Black Tie White Noise are the real stinkers compared to Tonight and Never Let Me Down Whoa now we have to fight. Hours as a whole may be a bit overproduced and left some of the best material on the cutting room floor but Something in the Air/New Angels of Promise/The Pretty Things Are Going to Hell are up there with his greatest tracks. If he'd kept We All Go Through and We Shall Go to Town on there it would have been amazing rather than just "a pretty good album for Bowie doing a videogame concept soundtrack" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gCEiGQcOj90 e: And for Black Tie White Noise it's got Nite Flights, Jump They Say, Pallas Athena, and The Wedding Song. Miracle Goodnight and Don't Let Me Down and Down right next to each other is drat near 10 minutes of ear poison though, I agree.

abraham linksys posted:the last 3 are fine but that cover of nite flights is like a bottom-10 bowie song Heathen is absolutely my favorite, and I would argue has some of Bowie's best and most haunting vocal performances of his career, specifically (my favorite Bowie song of all time, 5:15 Angels Have Gone) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FTZYqKYPI4U and the title track Heathen (The Rays) The bit in 5:15 at 1:45 when he cuts in with "Weeeeeeeeeeee never talk anymore" I feel like that's a voice that is throwing a punch at you e: And the opener, Sunday - same deal.

sporklift posted:Tapes are extremely portable and took way more abuse than CD's. You can shove a tape or two in your pockets. Also most CD's I have taken in the car with me end up scratched up and unplayable after a while. Tapes? Throw them on the floor. They play forever. Until my tape deck stared eating them but that is the fault of the deck. I feel like every record collection I've ever come across ends up with a copy of that kansas album in it somehow, and never from having been purchased.

hexwren posted:looking at upgrading my turntable from the bargain-basement stanton I've been on for like 14 years now to an audio-technica I'll give another shout out for the U-turn Orbit as an alternative. I got it rather than an lp120 and it has been a workhorse for me so far, though it is admittedly a little less user friendly if you're switching between 45s and 33s a lot and the cue lever is an add-on which is bullshit. But overall it's got so few moving parts, like it's just such an austere build, that there's very little on it to break or do wrong, and that's kinda comforting in the simplicity.

Hot drat I swapped out the ortofon OM5e that came with my orbit finally (had it long enough that I figured it was about time even if not strictly necessary) Opted to go for the seemingly recommended everywhere mp110 since I have a lot of older records I'd read that cartridge would smooth over a bit better and I was fully expecting my busted ears to hear no difference between the two but I swear to god the difference is night and day

Hot Diggity! posted:Get Happy owns It does and was paradoxically the cheapest record there ($7). Elvis doesn't get the respect he deserves. McCoy Pauley posted:CD Cellar is awesome. So far as I can tell their stock of new arrivals seems to change fairly often, so it's always worth going back to see what new stuff is in. It was jam packed so I didn't even look at the bins under the main "new arrival/used" sections but it certainly seems like stuff would be moving in and out in droves. People were ravenous. Their new/sealed collection is also extensive as gently caress but I opted to stick to just literal new releases and hard to find since they were a buck or two more expensive than online prices for everything. The only other shop I've been to in the area was the vienna music exchange and the prices were a lot better there but it's small, boutique would be a polite way to put it maybe, and not well ventilated so I was loving melting after half an hour of digging through boxes. Moebius is also pretty close so I'd like to check that one out sooner than later. Good Soldier Svejk fucked around with this message at 15:28 on May 7, 2023 |

Schremp Howard posted:After years of diverting my "new turntable" fund to my "just buy more records" fund I broke down when I found a like new Pro-Ject Debut Carbon with a fresh Ortofon cartridge on it at really good price. I was moving on from a Technics SL-BD20 that was perfectly serviceable but man the difference is nice. I just did a cartridge upgrade myself and the fun part is now you get to go through all your favorites you thought you knew so well and hear them in an entirely new way really that's like buying a whole new record collection when you think about it

This and just picking random things for $4 because I like the cover.

IG-88 posted:It's less than 3 months away. Surely they've got inventory numbers locked in. Maybe so.. I don't really know the logistics for big label releases but I'd also assume the benefit of a large pre-order window is that once you've got the master plate ready to go you can eyeball the demand and just crank some out ahead of the date... at least for something like the special colors I know I could go from audio to mastering to pressing in around the same time as an indie artist and that's starting from nothing

IG-88 posted:Well then you know more than me lol I think it's more about getting the master done and then "can you cut the line" and I imagine a huge band/label can do both pretty easily. For the indies yeah, you're probably looking at a 3-4 month lead time at the least but also once the plant has your master it's nothing to say "gonna need more of that" this is in my limited research in the US at least... and going by the cracker island gently caress up (the supplier got the exclusive colors mixed up and then the Warner shop had to re-ship the exclusive colors) they got that re-pressed and shipped within 2 months

CPL593H posted: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. They seem a bit like Gotye in that they accidentally made a radio hit but it wasn't really what they were about creatively.
