Finally re-joined the Vinyl party. Picked up a mint Technics SL-D2 TT for $1 at a rummage. Also picked up a few albulms, Club Nouveau and The Police. Lol

Walking through Waterloo Records here I see so much vinyl being sold to young college aged girls from UT I guess. I always wonder what they are listening to it on. Some of them are buying 3-4 $25 records at a time! And I complained about the occasional $15 CD when I was in college. :) Of course what was I listening on? A Wal Mart bought boom box. Probably not much different, except it didn't ruin CDs.

So my project is finally done for a while. Traded in my Luxman pre and got this nifty tube pre. And those are the rejiggered Hafler amps. They aint pretty on the outside! And yes that's a Jurassic Park on the TT with the new Ortofon Bronze still breaking in

What grinds my gears is that the system I bought for her sounds better than mine! It's not the TT though, as I have a Technics SL-1500 with Shure 97, which is better than the Gemini + AT-95 I got for her. Turns out it's the speakers. The Infinitys I got for her have bigger cabinets than my Klipschs, thus more bass.

So now I'm speaker shopping.

Did you get the blue/white variant?

I finally got my first 1st pressing Blue Note. Near mint. 1956.

I've been concentrating on vintage jazz as of late. I got a bunch of 6-eye Columbia Miles albums too.

^ Blue Note! Yummy!

I've been buying a few of the $20 digitally sourced reissues. They aren't bad.

You know what I didn't get a chance to open it. Most likely on Thursday or Friday. WHat'd you get?

Does anyone have the Mo-Fi pressing of Bob Dylan's Desire? I'm just curious as I have listened to this album endlessly for weeks now and would really like to pick this up in the near-future.

Very cool. Here's a photo of me with the band a number of years ago in Atlanta. :)https://fbcdn-sphotos-d-a.akamaihd.n...98362117_n.jpg

Synth-heavy scores are my ultimate weakness. Pre-ordered.

Ah hell, why not. $20? It's not like I could spend that on Mondo Batman releases this week. :lol: Harley and Joker are sold out apparently.

Oliver Clothesoff 07-25-14 07:54 AM

Re: The VINYL Thread!
 
All of the Batman releases are sold out (a few Mr. Freeze remain, but should be gone today), except Man-Bat, which has been held up in customs... will probably be offered on the web site.

Just opened mine and it is the Blue/White variant. Actually it's the Blue/White Swirl variant. ;)

T'was a great show indeed tonight, but how can a band have a "record release party", but not have the FUCKING RECORD to sell???

They played some songs off it though. I think you'll enjoy the new record when you get it.

You know you're a vinyl addict when you go to Comic-Con, and still somehow end up buying records. In my case, I got this:
http://horrornovelreviews.files.word...productslp.png

It's a rock opera based on H.P. Lovecraft's The Dreams in the Witch House. It's on purple tinted translucent 180g vinyl. Can't wait to give it a spin

Decided to pick up the MoFi Bitches Brew. Good call.

I have the MoFi In A Silent Way. Sounds amazing.

I hate to be a downer here, but I listened to that on Spotify and thought it was some of the worst drivel I'd heard in years.

Then I'd better not tell you what I paid for it.

They pimped the hell out of it at the Lovecraft panel. If it sucks like you say it does, I'll know who's opinions NOT to trust next time

Supermallet 07-28-14 10:35 PM

Re: The VINYL Thread!
 
I mean, I was excited for it as well, because I'm a huge Lovecraft fan and a rock opera based on one of his best stories sounded awesome. But the music does not match the ambition.

Cake is rereleasing the RSD boxset. It's up for preorder here. I read somewhere that they were unhappy about how RSD went down, with the sets ending up on ebay for ridiculous prices.


I know I've mentioned Self here before when their first album got a rerelease on Fat Possum. They've got a new EP out. It's availabe on 10 inch clear vinyl. Limited pressing of 1000 albums. They've been getting a bit of much deserved attention this week. Their song Runaway is the itunes single of the week.

A friend of mine sent me the Mondo Mr Freeze variant. Worst sounding Mondo record I've heard. Thought it sounded like someone held a mic up to a TV speaker!
