>>60518988
damn, that cover looks cool actually. too bad the album's not good enough to justify the $25
>>60519074
nice on the Swans, and is that Boredoms next to it? double nice on that if so
>>60520805
y not

>>60518988
How's the packaging on this? Thinking of buying.
>>60519074
>doji morita

>>60519074

![007_pics[1].jpg](https://i.imgur.com/V8Ddnz0.jpg "007_pics[1].jpg")
i got some noveller records the other day
one of them is a pretty colour too so thats cool
>>60521232
>and is that Boredoms next to it?
yeah
>>60522124
it also has some white promo label too which is pretty cool
>>60522919
25.49 plus 22 dollars shipping from ebay
lucked out i guess
>>60524017
Not bad, it's a great set. I got mine for $24 shipped off ebay somehow, nobody else bid on it, still has the shirt and everything, even has the shrink wrap sticker.
I just got my VMP shipment of Black Sabbath's Paranoid and GZA's Liquid Swords. Playing Liquid Swords now
>>60524071
yeah same here
there was one guy who bid before me but he never bid again
yeah i got the extra stuff incl the sticker too
the shirts kind off too big for me though
weird since i usually wear medium
Got these cds a from a well known musician on discogs a week ago, all in great shape:
>>60524137
It fits pretty good for me, odd since I usually wear large/ xl but it's a bit larger then a normal medium. The shirt was never even worn before, was still in the plastic resealable bag it came in.
>>60524184
>it's a bit larger then a normal medium.
yeah i think so too theres no way thats medium
>The shirt was never even worn before, was still in the plastic resealable bag it came in.
yeah same i was kinda disappointed though i wanted to wear it but i look like an idiot in it
I ordered the Giles Corey s/t the day it went on sale, anybody know when they'll be shipping out?
Both Tortoise CDs are Brazilian issues from 2001. TNT comes with a rare bonus track, Madison Avenue, only present on Tour 1998 7".
I'm also expecting two Mogwai CDs (MYT and CODY) and a Megasus LP in the mail.
I'm considering buying The Mollusk LP and This Heat s/t, the sellers claim they're original pressings, and they're not as expensive too ($50 and $24, respectivelly) in EX conditions.
>>60524243
the flesner rudely let me know on twitter it'd be mid-december
Guess who got a job and can afford vinyl again
>>60524405
This fucker
>>60524436
Ordering Giles Corey next Friday and debating whether to order Benjamin Clementine - At Least For Now
Surprised we ain't stocking it at work given he just won the mercury prize
>>60523294
Saw her live opening for St. Vincent and she was just looping guitar parts and vocal parts over and over and it just seemed amateurish and something anyone with a loop can do. Should I listen to her records to change my mind?
Just got a great deal of this original pressing
Cover is a bit beat up though
>>60524436
At least it's the best album
where do you guys buy your stuff
>>60524274
Millions Dead is one of my favorite albums.
>>60524501
Got this before I got my job and they had every album rerpressed then. I honestly woulda bought everything up to and including BH&R
>>60524274
you know they're officially reissuing this heat's s/t, deceit, and health and efficiency?
Some cds and cassettes from discogs. Except for The Who- Live at leeds 2 cd set which was 50 cents at the local goodwill. The Pye Corner Audio – Black Mill Tapes Volumes 1-4 3 cd set was purchased new, the rest were used.
>>60524505
Not OP, but Amazon often has really good deals if you look under used and new. I try to find stuff that's under the "very good" tab, as it is new or barely used and a few bucks cheaper. Discogs if I trust the user. Bought Black Dice's Beaches and Canyons for like $9 or 10 dollars but they put took the vinyl on the outside of the album cover in the box so when I took a scissor to cut the tape on the box, I cut the album sleeve and some of the vinyl. Luckily it still sounds find baka. I'm also to have good record stores where I live
>>60524505
Local indie record shop (if they ever fucking find new premises), local second hand store, HMV (30% staff discount lol) and discogs
Other places when I, on rare occasions, travel to other cities
>>60524565
Oh and record labels and directly from the artist if an when necessary
>>60524546
I know, but it's cheap, and if it's the real deal, it's even better.
I could deal with 89 reissue too, tho
>>60524547
Live at Leeds is great. I haven't heard it in a long time but it's one of the few classic rock albums aside from Dark side of the moon I come back to often
>>60524505
Internet; I only went in a record store three times.
Been a solid few weeks
>>60524606
Yeah I didn't have a copy of it before and was surprised to see the deluxe edition for only 50 cents at the local goodwill, snatched it up real fast.
>>60524668
those look like comfy pillows
>>60524547
Lol somebody on discogs is trying to get $95 for that Pye corner audio set, just because it recently went out of print doesn't make it worth that much.

>>60524821
Types reissues seem to sell out pretty quickly. A copy of the 3 cd reissue of Thomas Köner - Nunatak • Teimo • Permafrost sold for $75 on discogs recently.
>>60524804
Perfect fluff to support ratio.
>>60524477
idk, it depends what you get out of music I guess. her stuff isnt that complex or challenging but I think its beautiful.
glacial glow and no dreams are really nice imo
These arrived yesterday from Discogs and eBay. It was the first time I'd been on eBay in years, it was my last resort after discovering Dirk Gently is out of press, not for sale on Discogs and £70 minumum from Amazon for the pair.
Are radioplays /mu/? I can't think what other board would take them. The Harry Enfield Dirk Gentlys have been my favourites since I heard them shortly after they came out and I finally got around to replacing my pirated copy. Highly recommended to any Douglas Adams fans.

>>60518988
No pictures because they havent came in yet but i recently ordered
Daniel Johnston - Hi, How Are You Vinyl
Swans - Filth Vinyl
Boris - Flood cd
>>60527952
Also grab F# A# infinity, you need at least one record with a locked groove at the end.
>>60528068
Never listened to this one, but I found out about Lift your fists over the summer and I'm trying to find more stuff like that.
What is a locke groove?
Also, how bad could I fuck up my table if I open it and go straight to playing? I know not to drop the needle or the table itself, I should be good, right?
>>60528136
>Never listened to this one, but I found out about Lift your fists over the summer and I'm trying to find more stuff like that.
F# is gr8. Both vinyl and CD versions are different in package and songs (CD is 30 minutes longer and different movements order), but the vinyl version is essential. At the end of side B there is an endless drone loop.
> Also, how bad could I fuck up my table if I open it and go straight to playing? I know not to drop the needle or the table itself, I should be good, right?
Not sure about U-Turn, but AT-LP120 is almost literally plug and play (just attach the headshell to the tonearm). Just don't fuck up.
>>60528264
Hey, I really appreciate it, looking up F# now
>>60524463
Where do you work?
>>60524463
wait is there actually going to be a physical giles corey release with physical booklet?
>>60528559
HMV. Big (but not as big as it used to be) UK music/dvd/stuff chain
Just got the good shit
>>60528571
http://nowflensing.com/giles-corey-s-t-dlp-box-set-pre-order/
Yeah man v excited about this
>>60528615
>http://nowflensing.com/giles-corey-s-t-dlp-box-set-pre-order/
holy hell i have been praying for this for year now
>>60528612
>BoC in CD while Tame Impala in vinyl
nigga it should be the other around.
>>60528612
>tame impala
>good
>>60528634
Same. I'm trying to avoid looking at the rest of the storefront again though because there must be like 200+ dollars of other shit I want on that site
>>60528745
i just hate reading things online but the book accompanies the album so well
>>60528732
Got Currents on CD too.
Wish I had BoC on vinyl though. I'm not really a collector though, just saw them and thought they'd be cool to have on CD
>>60528745
I'ma help you out a little since you seem cool
http://nowflensing.com/obolus-lament-10inch/
Free ten inch. just pay five bucks for shipping. just got mine the other day, awesome black/grey vinyl
>>60527563
whats the cobain seven inch? Anything special? Was going to buy the vinyl for my dad might throw that in too
>>60528828
BoC reissues are around the corner. They sound great
>>60528834
I've actually listened to that one a few times. Wasn't sure if it was a mistake on the site. Gonna chuck that one in when I make my order next week
>>60523063
Be careful now anon
>>60524495
oh dayum
>>60528856
I didn't spin it yet but once it arrived I was like why'd I buy this
it's 2 tracks, sappy (some demo version)/and I love her
it's just a cash in basically, I'll probably pirate the montage of heck lp and forget about it.
sad abuse of his memory really
>>60529025
That sucks. Just the whole album looks like a pathetic cash in. I think every song is also on outcestiside. My dad will probably like it tho. Thanks for the reply.
>>60519039
no one else is acknowledging this is cool so i will.
>>60524495
Why buy the original. There was just a repress of this in Europe like last year?
>>60528615
>>60528634
Too bad you fags missed out on the most limited pressing of the album.
>>60529388
What the limited edition has, other than different vinyl colors?
>>60520805
i know right thats the dumbest thing to do he must be a hipster OPN dick sucker fan
>>60529479
they're more limited
>>60529549
Well you just convinced me you nerd
>>60529249
i live in the US though and got it about the same price as those reissues. plus i like the collector's value of it. is there any difference between them?
what do you get out of purchasing these objects? (aside from being able to post in these threads)
if you can download digital files of everything in this thread for free ("samples"), why are you wasting your money on physical manifestations of the same?
is it like people that hate e-book readers, even though you can put an entire library in something the size of a book? I don't get it.
>>60529388
>not getting a color that actually fits the record
If you didn't get black, you're a fucking faggot
>>60530790
You caught us anon. We buy them just to show how cool we are, still owning tangible music. I don't even listen to them, I just buy what's in for the moment, get it?
>>60530934
hey - if you have the cash to burn, who'm I to judge?
but I am actually interested in non-sarcastic responses. as a behavior it's pretty counter-intuitive...
>>60531058
I like music. I like it so much, I want to have it in a tangible form. So I buy CDs, vinyl, cassettes, whatever. Aside from the disc and tape containing music, the package makes up a part of the experience, even if it's just a little. Having it as a digital form in my HDD is not really the same.
Maybe when I'm older, I can show my kids/nephews my collection of music. They may not even be interested, but it warms my heart nonetheless.
Same thing with books, even movies in VHS, laserdisc, DVD, Blu-ray.
>>60530790
bait
I only post my shit if im bored and happen to be on here, or if I know my recent lineup will confuse/piss people off.
>>60530847
I'm thinking of getting red if it's not sold out when I have the cash for it, but maybe not. I love that album so much that I want it to sound as good as it can
>>60531183
fuck those are some great fucking pickups
especially last 3
I got Agaetis Byrjun and Toro y Moi's What For? on vinyl, too lazy to take a pic
>>60531234
Thanks m8
Soft Machine is weird as fuck though. I think its going to take me a lot of listens to get into them
>>60529718
Hope you're enjoying Joanna Newsom. I wish they would repress Milk-Eyed Mender on vinyl.
>>60531351
really? I thought Volume Two was one of their more accessible than s/t and Third (not including fourth and albums that came afterwards)
1/2
>>60531154
for me it has something to do with the need to actually CHOOSE from the thousands of albums I've downloaded, which one gets to occupy not just space on a hard drive, but space on a shelf?
the financial cost ups the ante and forces me to think harder about which albums deserve it: what music means the most to me?
weirdly, purchasing an album changes my relationship to it in unexpected ways. you'd think it'd be identical experiences, just served up in different formats - but not for me.
how many times have I made a purchase, brought it home, and as I was listening to it like it's the first time it dawns on me - "wow, this is not for me"?
I might've heard it a dozen times before and liked it and still be shocked by how little I connect with it once I get it in a physical medium. I might regret the purchase in one sense, but at least it's a conclusive result.
>>60531672
2/2
Just showed up over the last week.
>>60531154
>>60531685
These both describe my experience and thoughts on the matter to a T.
>>60530790
Some of us like getting away from the computer and other such devices for a while. Our lives are dominated by screens/computers, and listening to music without having to look at screen, swipe at a screen, or operate a mouse is a welcome vacation.
Then there's the whole supporting the artists thing. Why does anyone think they're "entitled" to own someone else's work for free? Yeah, piracy has its place sometimes, especially when CD prices were at stupid premiums (18.99 in '00 money), so "sticking it to the man," was somewhat justified, but piracy taken to its logical conclusion would put the artists you like out of work, meaning they would have to get a real job and couldn't devote the time and energy to their music. Buying an artist's record is a symbiotic relationship. Pirating is parasitic, any way you look at it. I don't speak with judgment, since I've done it to a degree, but let's not lie to ourselves about the very real harm it can to do with the various creative industries. Yeah, we know the record companies are assholes, but sticking to them still sticks it to the artists.
Supporting local record stores. They're fun places to visit, hangout, dig for music, and talk to other people. Who would want their record store replaced by a 99 cent store or a Starbucks?
>>60524547
whats the grey one all the way on the top left with the flowers?
>>60531375
it is on vinyl.. isn't it?
>>60533271
ive heard all JN vinyl is really poorly made.. bad surface noise etc.. How's Divers?
>>60530790
dude its fucking winter I put my hands above the record while its playing for the warmth
the gangrene album and MBDTF were pretty good 2bh
just missing pablo honey for radiohead now as well
this is like 2-3 months worth of buys
>>60531690
fuck yeah Seu Jorge
>>60519035
Thats too bad
