Reply to this post if someone got you an iTunes gift card
>>61271132
Nah. Got $250 in Visa gift cards.
>>61271132
15 dollars, didn't know what the fuck to do, but later bought the chronic and ITCOTCK.
>>61271166
Why didn't you just download those from the archive? If I were to buy something from iTunes I'd save it on something more obscure
>>61271132
aye
>>61271191
cause i'm stupid.

>>61271098

Music-related stuff (about 90%)
>Headphone stand
>Miles Davis Prestige 10" Boxset Vol. 2
>Beatles Chordbook
>Rush Sector 3 boxset
>Rush 89-07 boxset
I now have every Rush album on CD
>>61271275
all of the used records are REALLY clean
like, surprisingly clean
idk how much my family spent on some of these but i'm very happy
my turntable is out of commission so i cant listen to any of them until my stylus ships (which should be some time this week, hopefully)
>>61271292
>beatles
>rush
Dad i had no idea you were on /mu/
>>61271292
Also, not really a christmas present but these arrives Christmas Eve, three NAH tapes (Light As Fuck, Nurture EP, Submission/Excruciate)
>>61271292

>>61271331
Got $140 worth of gift cards for the local record store. Not decided what I'll get but I imagine I'll end up getting whatever local artists records are on sale.
>>61271346
>implying that's bad
>>61271346
>being 16
i pretty much didn't ask for anything, i want something random, so i got a clear whiplash vinyl and miles Davis dig blue vinyl, also, a crappy acoustic bass.
hey lads, I received an AT LP-60 from my mom, because she knew I've been wanting to get into record players. now I know, muh-counterweights and all, but really, how shit is it? I'm a beginner in this hobby, so I figure it couldn't be so bad to start with. r-right guys?
>>61271544
Better than Crosley and Jensen, but don't expect sticking to it forever. It's not alarmingly bad.
>>61270813
>no oasis
shame
>>61271581
alright, thanks. the only real concern i have with it is harming my records.
>>61271544
You won't notice the difference between this and a $5000 turntable.
My mom gave me a flagpole.
Christmas gift to myself. Been looking forever for this.
inb4 >faggot
>>61271742
that is really cool anon, can you take some pics of what's inside?
also who's your favorite?
not opening these till i get a decent player/decent taste in music
![WP_20151226_001[1].jpg](https://i.imgur.com/tnVcRwQ.jpg "WP_20151226_001[1].jpg")
Strauss and Golden Avatar my brother got from a thrift shop, they were probably like 50c each. I had never heard Golden Avatar, its not very good. He got me other stuff too though. The other 4 were from my dad, who collects records as well, all second hand, all good choices.
>>61271509
I also have a crappy acoustic bass, and it's one of my favorites
>>61271862
There's 9 discs which have the 4 OP/EDs and 5 character songs. There's also a lyrics book.
And Ritsu a best.
>>61272044
that is very nice, hope you enjoy it!
and ritsu is fine but she's no mugi ;)
>>61271905
Hey I know that album on the top right!!!
Very chill 80s japanese pop. Caught me off gaurd because I don't remember it being popular
>>61272133
Yeah, its really good, finding stuff like that is usually pretty hard where I live, I'm very happy with it
>>61270925
got the exact same player as well
Got the album of the year, bitches

>>61270813
I got 20 dollars and a leviathan back patch.
>>61272672
still no be here now reissue. seriously noel?!?! he probably backpedaled and decided not to issue it even though he said he was doing the first 3.
No family near me. I didn't get anything, but I also didn't ask for anything. Christmas lost it's appeal years ago.
I'm just gonna get a huge breakfast in the morning and get stoned before work.
>>61272823
you sound like you need a huh anon
>>61271132
that feel
my clueless aunt who's hopelessly out-of-touch with my family sent us each 15$ itunes gift cards
I was talking to my parents about it and I was like "lol I don't even have a use for this" and they were like "we'll trade you cash, we'll use it"
so no harm done. felt kinda bad about it but if she wanted to give us something individualized and personal she wouldn't have sent itunes gift cards
Got this from my aunt.
>inb5 goes on mu once
>>61273052
>goes on /mu/ once
>still gets presents from parents
>asks for records
Fucking embarrassing
>>61273133
>how do Christmas presents work
>>61272672
Bought them last year
>>61273147
Why would you ask your parents to go to a record store and pick up your shit taste?
Stuff from my mother
>>61272625
>>61272655
>>61272696
niiiice
who gave you these?
>>61273415
mom, dad, friends
>>61273384
you have the best taste ever
I wish I had HCTI
>>61273684
Thanks man, you can get it on discogs if you wish
>>61272554
goddamn right, finally someone else on this board who agrees. how does the pressing sound?
No /mu/ presents for me
Gonna go into town later and try and pick up some rekkids tho
i got an anticon hoodie

>>61272655
>>61272696
nice
>>61273052
Everyone needs to get the essentials at some point
>>61273986
very nice
>>61273986
Relayer is such an underrated Yes album. I mean, Gates of Delirium is one of the most ott pieces of music I've ever heard but I guess you're listening to the wrong band if you don't like that kind of grandeur.
>>61270813
Got my preorder receipt for the Giles Corey limited pressing. Comes out mid-January.
>>61274188
Some of the copies were shipped out a couple weeks ago is this a new date for those that didn't get their's sent?
>>61271132
Got a $10 one. I would spend it on a king crimson album since their discog can't be streamed, but there's none below $10. Thanks fripp
>>61270925
I got an lp60, its pretty great, that must be even better! Thats awesome man!
Got these three records and new audioengine speakers
>>61272823
damn bruh...

Headphones, a turntable and LYSF
Cheap stuff but it works nicely
>pic related
A trip to japan to see King Crimson live and some guitar pedals.
Also the White Light from the Mouth/Love of Life reissue that I ordered a month ago came right on time.
>>61276303
what are the album on the left and the right?
>>61271886
Open them because the shrink warps records and destroys the jackets over time
>>61271886
Until the Quiet Comes sounds really good on viny, also this guy's right >>61276764
>when dad buys you hentai
>>61276756

>>61276794
What is the name of this album? I see it a good bit and want to give it a listen
>>61276818
Midori - Hello Everyone, Nice To Meet You, We're Midori
One of my fave albums tbqh
>>61276915
Cool, thanks man
>>61276764
Do you have any idea how long that takes? Ten years at the LEAST.
>>61270813
I've been on this board so long I don't know if Post Christmas is an instruction or a genre.
>>61277055
>He doesn't treat his records the best he can
go away plen
>>61277107
There's a line between taking care of your shit and neurosis and I think you passed it
TVU - Loaded 45th anniversary edition
Beatles +1
Carly Rae Jepsen - Emotion vinyl
>>61277402
>emotion vinyl
Imma have to see a pic to make sure this isn't b8
>>61277421
Why would it be? It's a relatively popular pop album on this board and plus it has a big picture of an attractive woman with nice legs.
I try an make a point of having a varied vinyl collection and it's very lacking in pop.
I got about 8 CDs, over $100 in iTunes gift cards (I'll use that on albums that I can't find otherwise or for albums that aren't worth the price of shipping) and a future of the left t-shirt.
Pretty good haul imo.
Yes I use iTunes... I don't like downloading shit illegally, most of the shit in the archive sucks cock anyway
>>61277493
Whatever floats your boat mate, I think it's an album for little girls tho
>>61276547
I'm assuming you broke up with her afterwards for giving you that crap
>>61273986
Most of those CDs you can find at garage sales for $2 lmao
>>61272696
>le anco is good meme
>>61277610
>talking shit about The Necks
Don't care about the other two records that guy got, but Vertigo is good.
>>61277593
Fair enough, I wouldn't listen to Boy Problems in front of my family but All That is in my top five songs of the year.
>>61270852
Don't post that here, people will try to convince you it's bad (it's not).
Not got a picture but this bad boy
okay so I didn't get any musical presents this year but I've just finished blowing all of my Christmas money on vidya, films and shit and I did get two records.
Not much of interest in the shop atm some just grabbed two records from my teenage years
>>61277742
MIJ or American Standard?
...
>>61277752
Bronson's minted, great film
>>61277777
nice quints, nice bum
>>61277752
>DVD
Good choices with Bronson, Ex Machina and Nightcrawler though.
>>61277810
Like fuck am I dumping money into upgrading my entire collection to Blu-Ray
>>61277835
Yeah, but you could get new films on Blu Ray.
Interstellar was shit but it looks and sounds incredible on Blu Ray. But who am I to question your life choices. Have a nice day.
>>61277858
I'm too autistic to just start buying them without having to go back and redo my entire collection ASAP
I've heard nothing but good things about it so far. You're prob the first negative
>>61272044
>>61272074
azu-nyan a best
>>61277610
Nah I actually had sex with her after and cuddled to Sunn O)))
>>61272044
holy fuck I want that
My gf got me a 70s disco Ministry of Sound box set and I ended up losing my virginity to this.

>>61270813
Cant take a picture atm but music related I got New Bermuda on clear purple and blue marbled vinyl, A repress of First Utterance by Comus, and a 160gb ipod classic.
My dad took a shot in the dark since I've been at college, and even though I don't love the album itself, the slip is really cool, it folds out to make the house that's on the cover
>>61279252
What kind of smoothies have you made, mate?
>>61279320
That was my dad's present, but we made banana for everyone :)
>>61278075
my favorite album. i just completed my flaming lips studio album collection but those weren't christmas presents. just a new turntable for me

Went to my uncles.
My cousin got a Crosley.
"You like records, is this a good player?"

Also Beatles in Mono
Peter Gabriel (First 4 albums)
Godzilla soundtrack
Shure M97xE (when it arrives)
>>61279252
Sorry you don't like it. I really, really enjoy that record.

>>61280133

>Colin Stetson

All set up (:
I got a Casset player and a Cd Player too.
I wanted to get a record player and start collecting vinyl but then I remembered that I have an addictive personality and would spend way too much fucking money on records.
>>61280861
i like the ship
>>61280807
or this idea:
>buy gifts for girlfriend/wife/children/friends
>celebrate christmas with a roaring party with girlfriend/wife/children/friends
>not talk to family
that really is what most adults do, m8.
>>61280885
Thanks familia

Spiderland
Blonde on Blonde
Bitches Brew

Cousin's present is still on its way, so probably some music incoming but pic related for now. Disregard the book. /mu/ related are the Deep Blue Delay for guitar and a 5-string kantele. Kantele is the national instrument of Finland and it sounds beautiful. Here's an example of an electric kantele:

>>61271292
lmao lots of hate but i say pretty nice, rush are GOAT
>>61273052
rain dogs is fucking amazing along with remain in light and ITAOTS. i'm just starting to get into loveless, i do think it's a tad overrated but has some spectacular moments (only shallow, loomer)
>>61273384
The Dreaming is great
those aren't my favourite anco records but still pretty good
I really hate surfer rosa though
>>61276303
really want to get slow riot on vinyl

>>61270813
>not getting the new 2016 pressing of Illinois

>>61282430
This upsets me so much I bought Illinois some weeks ago and have a pretty shit pressing. Lots of surface noise and even clipping. A few days later I saw the news of the repressing.
Sorry for the blog posting.
>>61282430
Is it much better?
Felt spoiled desu but not complaining
>>61282529
its colored
>>61282604
No, then.
Not worth an upgrade at least. Thanks.

Gang of Four - Entertainment!
Both Joy Division records
Live Skull - Bringing Home the Bait

It's that, my striped blue and white ones which are in the wash, or one of a number of floral bedspreads from when I was engaged and had a woman in the bed regularly.

You look like a cross between a bearded hipster and a dad eyed brit LAD retard
>>61284022
Sorry lad, but they don't even have one passable song. Just objective fact.
>>61284262
Objectively a tryhard opinion

>>61270925
got the same
>>61284047
don't try too hard brother - thats not the record player i have but it's a great one. i restore old record players so i know more than 99.9% of humans about this
>>61276303
You probably shouldn't have the speakers on the same table as the TT. Vibrations can fuck records up.
>>61284023
i really try to like it but i can never get into it
>YOU BUY ME A SODAAAAAAA AND MOLEST ME IN THE PARKING LOT
it just seems ridiculous to me and i can't even find it funny
I do like where is my mind like every other basic bitch on the planet but i really cant get bone machine at all and the other tracks just seem meh.
if there are some really great tracks at the end illprobably try it again but it really doesnt seem to be my kind of music
I got gift cards made to buy concert tickets and a stand for my bass
BUT
>tfw i want to order the repress of White Light From The Mouth Of Infinity with the cash i got on christmas but i can't find my credit card

That live version of Bastard and Death Of Music are fucking incredible.

What's the one in the middle ?
My little sister got me a copy of Zen Arcade by Hüsker Dü which has been cut onto beautiful neon coloured vinyl.
>tfw you got nothing
i wish i was a rich hipster
>>61289532
don't we all
Also what's post-Christmas? That the American name for Boxing Day or something?
>>61277103
fuckin beat me to it
>>61289545
don't think he meant it like "post-christmas" but literally meant "post your christmas presents"
>>61289532
you don't need to be rich to give your loved ones gifts, though.
>>61282604
>its colored
no the man on the cover is coloured
>>61289567
Yeah, I know. I'm just being a dick. Also who is this Montie guy? I leave for a week and the dude's everywhere
>>61272044

Got $400 amazon gift card and spent some on a Crosley Turntable and Marquee Moon vinyl

>>61273029

Do you know where he got it? I've been trying to find a copy under 70 bucks for a while now.
>>61289613
a tripfag who was made fun of because of his taste, parts of /mu/ started posting him after he stupidly posted his face. it's probably just /Skype/ but idk.
>>61289782
/Skype/ is my own group (I own it). They don't hate me at all.
They made a fanfic of me.
got a $250 visa gift card, some shoes, a backscratcher, and my grandma got me this, which is honestly the best present I've gotten in years. Used to play this shit at her house all the time when I was little.
>>61289795
add me to your skype group
Only got $ and Visa gift cards, picked this up and a couple Can and Beastie Boy records
The art included with Purple is some beautiful stuff.

>>61280201
you can sell them. some safeways have kiosks that buy gift cards and i think itunes is one it accepts it pays out like 50-85% of the value, usually on the higher end. a lot of safeways have them maybe other stores too but ive only seen it at safeway. they are coinstar brand gift card kiosks, you could look it up.
>>61273986
pretty nice haul. i dont see many people collect cds these days.
>>61279576
Dude. Anon. That is one sexy collection. I am soooo jealous right now. Mouth watering.
Got these and Wish you were here, Raw Power, Pet Sounds, Bitches brew and I got abbey road as an impulse buy because it was cheap. Also have Mirrored by Battles en route because that shits expensive. Also Remain in Light signed by Adrian Belew.
>>61280421
No Flashlight is probably my favorite release of Phil's. The Glow Pt. 2 is nice too.
>>61279576
How long did it take to collect all of those records? How much would you say it cost you total? The Flaming Lips is one band that you can collect their stuff and probably never even come close to having the full set.
>>61273384
Pretty nice stuff man. I've never heard The Dreaming but I'm going to check it out now since I like everything else you have here.
>>61273052
+++Black Foliage, ITAOTS, Crooked Rain Crooked Rain, Rain Dogs
The other stuff is all pretty good shit as well. Nice additions to your collection anon!
>>61272696
Fuck yeah, I need to start collecting physical AnCo albums soon. I goddamn love their artwork. Wish I still had my record player so I had a reason to start collecting vinyl again. I can just imagine how badass AnCo artwork must look on the large LP covers.
>>61289423
NAH- Nurture
No music gifts but i bought myself this, the secret band ep on wax and that reissue of white light/love of life box set signed by mikey g.
>>61291551
>I can just imagine how badass AnCo artwork must look on the large LP covers.
they are pretty sick, except feels in my opinion which feels overblown
So what I'm starting to realize is that people on /mu/ generally stay here for just a year, because all of you kids that recently found this site and asked your parents for awful music think you need to conform to some standard that isn't real, before getting bored and leaving the site. It's the only explanation for the constant posting of /mu/core, because you'd think you'd already have all that trash if you'd been here a long time.
Lmao pathetic
>>61272044
stopped scrolling here nothing will top this
>>61282038
>>61280133
The album is Violent Femmes S/T. Teenage classic from the 80s.
>>61270813
My aunt bought me a copy of The Glow pt. 2 and my brother got me a copy of Paul's Boutique
>>61291042
At least one person commented on the bedspread at least.
I'm a known manchild. There is nothing more you can do to insult me.
Just got these
I didn't get anything but I got my sister The Cures discography except for the top, wild mood swings and bloodflowers.
Got a nice cheap little tablet, some Bose SoundTrue headphones which are, you know, ok, and a half oz of really good weed.
