Happy with these pickups today!

 

Here’s another contender for dumbest thing in my vinyl collection, but another guiltless pleasure:



“Too Close” 12 inch single featuring 3 versions of the song.

 

Dumb and cool

 

What are the versions?

 

That's awesome!

 

A1 Too Close (Horny Edit)
B1 Too Close (Hornier Edit)
B2 Too Close (Radio Edit)

 

That is definitely one of the hornier hits of the past three decades.

 

Damn I'm surprised how much getting an external preamp makes a difference. Can't wait til the speakers come but this is already a huge upgrade to what it was.

 

Theres been links for Macho Man's full length dropping this past week on various sites and selling out quickly. I kind of want a copy.

Happy New Years!

Time to start dusting off some lps I haven't listened to in awhile!

 

First purchases of 2023

 

I still need to get that TFF album

 

Found my weirdest record today

 

“Traffic on Wet Highway” - What a jam.

 

Blows the first four volumes out of the water, no contest.

 

Went a little hard yesterday at some shops in my new city. Shout out Music Millennium and Everyday Music in Portland. Zia left some pretty big shoes to fill from back in AZ but I’m having a nice time so far

Caracara - New Preoccupations
Tribe - Midnight Marauders (one of those “how do I not own this already” purchases)
Quicksand - Distant Populations
Beach Fossils - Somersault
Sadurn - Radiator

 

I miss Zia so much

 

Today's haul:

Bleachers - Take the Sadness Out of Saturday Night
Carly Rae Jepsen - Emotion
Taking Back Sunday - Louder Now

Holding off on buying more records until the new Fireworks goes up for pre-order (hoping soon)

 

Damn. I still need a copy of Somersault

 

In case you missed it, Bayonet pressed a really cool tangerine variant for the 5 year anniversary. So now’s a good time! I went standard black to save a few bucks and sorta regret my decision lol. Don’t be like me

GodDAMN that looks nice. And I have a birthday coming up. Gonna convince my wife to pull the trigger for me lol

 

my only recent pickup. I really feel like this went under the radar this year, but I love it.

 

Just curious, do those record weights make a significant difference in terms of sound quality? Would they help a warped record play better?

 

Hollywood's Bleeding and Run the Jewels S/T for $30.

 

I think in theory they're supposed to somewhat help with both. I have one and use it constantly, but i don't know if it's really made much of a huge difference, especially if there's warping.
