Buying records you don't actually like isn't so much ironic as it is stupid. Or, in the case that you actually like the music, it's just not ironic at all.

david puddy posted:e: Also I am not going to try and flip it because that is exactly what happens in the Porcupine Tree fanbase and I hate people who do it wth a passion I can understand judging people who specifically engage in speculation, buying for the sole purpose of reselling at a higher price. But I honestly don't see anything wrong with making a purchase, deciding you're not satisfied with it, and selling it. I mean, you can price it at what you paid + shipping if it makes you feel better, though I wouldn't be surprised if the speculators you don't like have searches set up to buy up underpriced copies. Ultimately I don't think there's any nobility in hoarding albums you don't like, it just keeps them from people who do like them.

blumpkinbliss posted:Ok NMD vinyl thread, I’m loving wasted as I always am when I post and lets be honest, trying to get band, so gently caress it. David puddy, it was either you or some other idiot with your exact same avatar that put out that lovely album in NMD, and I don’t really care if it was you or another guy but it fuvking sucked. I mean that poo poo was so bad. loving terrible. And the rest of you, posting pictures of your goddan lovely King Crismon collection or some lame Vangelis poo poo, are you loving serious? Look im a lovely poster no doubt about it but sometimes I look at this thread and I just loving weep WEEP for you assholes. I know, youll be all like “ hey shut the gently caress up music is subjectie and poo poo but seriously, have you guys checked the dollar bin of your local record shop- half of the poo poo you post you can find there with not problems at all. I know I’m being a pompous rear end in a top hat to some of you but seriously, do you shop for records anyhere else but online? And what the gently caress are you doing using the words “vinyl records?” Is that like a joke or something? I guarantee there are a lot worse things to complain about but gently caress you guys make me feel ashamed and I’m over it. To be fair tho record store day is ok except that you won’t get a lot of poo poo because the stores usually allow employees to call dibs on the good poo poo but you should still go anyways cause record employees are dumb sometimes

Smekerman posted:V0 is MP3 format, it's pretty much the highest form of lossy encoding there is. To sum up both parties, some people swear to be able to tell the difference between FLAC and a V0 MP3 rip, other people swear that there is no audible difference between the two. Cue the format wars. There are a couple specific artifacts in MP3 that are more noticeable if you know what to look for, and at lower bitrates, but generally speaking the idea that FLAC has a noticeable difference over a well-encoded MP3 to the general populace is bunk. edit: googled a little bit looking for recent results, and the decision is in: Audiophiles prefer the warmth of 320kbps CBR MP3s over lossless: http://archimago.blogspot.com/2013/02/high-bitrate-mp3-internet-blind-test_3422.html

Scharpling & Wurster's "Rock, Rot, & Rule" is being released, with a RSD special red vinyl pressing: http://vimeo.com/86865061 This is the comedy bit that basically launched The Best Show on WFMU and one of the funniest comedy bits about music ever, everyone should buy it (at least the regular pressing)

When I first read your quote I thought you were being kinda silly but drat that guy definitely gives a lovely vibe. I get the impression he would like people to believe the blog is way more influential and way more worthwhile to subscribers than it is. The thing that bothers me about arguments about flipping is that I always get the impression that a lot of the people who get so angry about the practice are angry just because they don't want to pay a lot of money for albums. I understand that, but to some extent that just seems like an inevitable side effect of the free market (outside of some shady tactics). Like if flippers buy up all of some limited release at 30$ and put it up on ebay for $50, it's only going to work out if people actually are willing to pay $50. And I kinda think the answer here isn't "people shouldn't be allowed to flip records" (not that that's particularly enforceable) and more "labels/artists should price their products closer to market value". The fundamental issue I have with flipping isn't that someone's profiting substantially, it's that it's people other than the artists who made the music (or packaging or whatever it is you value about it).
