Last Album You Purchased (2013 Edition)
So I saw that we didn't have one of these threads started for the year and figured I might as well start it.
I recently pre-ordered:
Sound City: Real to Reel (Soundtrack to Dave Grohl's Sound City Documentary)

I remember hearing that song "I've got a name" while I was skating in an ice skating rink the day he died. The song's so bittersweet anyway and that line about "So life won't pass me by" just struck a nerve. I remember several women noticeably weeping. One of those moments you never forget.

Joy Division - Unknown Pleasures
180g vinyl

By the way, what's the deal with certain new vinyl records where they have two inner sleeves? The real one with the pics and lyrics and then the the paper one that the record is actually in. Seems silly and redundant.

It's so you don't ruin the pic and lyric one by the weight of the 180 gram vinyl tearing through it. Even back in the days of pre 180 gram, inner sleeves often fell prey to damage by the vinyl tearing through the edges, so you would have to resort to the ugly buisness of taping up the sides, or buying replacement sleeves - which were not something easily found back then. This is one way of solving that problem.

I regularly buy poly inner sleeves to use with my records, but keep the original one in addition.

It's a silly problem to solve. I have hundreds of records with torn inner sleeves. It's not a big deal. THe funny thing is that the new inner sleeve is usually sturdier than than the paper one the disc is actually in. And if its not meant to be used, why go to the trouble of making it a sleeve? A sheet of double sided printed cardstock would do the trick.

I've noticed this trend with you, wherein you seem to think everyone should see things the way you do. Unfortunately, the world doesn't work that way. You asked for an explanation - I provided it. Just because you personally don't agree with it, doesn't make it silly, redundant, wasteful or whatever adjective you care to decide to come up with. Other people feel differently than you do. Be happy that some companies are considerate enough to give you the extra bonus option of using either/or sleeve. Jeez.

It's all well and good having an opinion. The problem lies with you acting somewhere between yours being the only one that matters, or believing that everyone shares it. At least that's how you often come off. My apologies if that's not the case, but that's how your comments tend to read.
