The reviews on Discogs were positive too. I went with a "Buy It Now" option. Guess I was the lucky recipient of a defective copy.

 

Anybody else occasionally get the urge to just sell all of their records?

 

As I lose control of my spending and the records pile up, I am starting to feel a bit anxious about it all. haha. But then I play them, and it calms me down. At least the ones that don't sound like shit.

 

Nice! One of my most wanted that have never been pressed

 

Why on this page Mitski $9.99

Niiice. Asthmatic Kitty Records just sent an e-mail out saying they are doing another pressing of the anniversary edition of Michigan that will go on sale tomorrow. Preorders will stay live for 12 hours it looks like 10AM-10PM EST.

 

When I realize how much money I could have if I sold most of my collection, it gets tempting. But I don't think I could ever do it lol

 

I go through different phases. Been collecting since 2010 and have certainly sold off a ton of my collection over the years just due to what I could get for them. At one point I had complete discographies of blink, thrice, brand new, senses fail and started sellig them off when i could get $150+ for something I paid $25 for. That got more addicting then buying record for a while. Probably made atleast $3k profit selling records that were collecting dust. I figured, what's better a new car/ house or record i play twice a year that I can just play on Spotify through my stereo set up. I then stopped buying records for a good 2 years, but recently got back into the swing of things in 2021. A lot of the stuff I sold has since been repressed and I wanted them again along with other stuff. My one rule I have is that I will not buy more than 3 records a month so that I dedicate enough time to listening to them. I also work from home now and moved my stereo set up into the office and spin stuff atleast 4 hours a day. If I havent dedicated atleast 15 spins to a record I feel like I didn't get my money worth. Cause once it gets shelved the first time, chances are it doesnt come back out for a few years.

 

They must have gotten so many complaints.

 

no, like, I'm actually asking. I am confusion.

 

how about I pay you for Blonde and then just lip sync the words to Michigan?!

 

Anyone looking for an SRC Vinyl pressing of Yellowcard’s One For The Kids?

 

which variant?

 

nvm. Just got the email!

 

Depends on the price, I guess.

 

Yeah. I was starting to delve into lossless music and nice listening setups, and vinyl is just an imperfect listening experience, which is part of the appeal, but I thought I might want to sell it all and invest in high quality digital listening stations. Didn't pull the trigger, and I keep buying albums, but it is tempting. Not having physical copies of the music I love is a scary thought though.

 

I have a digital streamer (Cambridge CXN) paired with my Cambridge CXA80 and stream Tidal through it. Certainly more convenient then flipping a record up to 4 times to listen a full album. But yet I still flip

 

Love the aesthetic of those Cambridge stacks. What speakers are you using?

 

Already own Michigan but that variant is hella beautiful. Jealous. Hoping for a color Illinoise repress soon.

 

Monitor Audio Silver RX8s. Project Debut Carbon with Grado Prestige Gold cart. Darlington Labs mm-6 phono.

 

I still have the original black version, but I'm tempted to get these just because they look cool.

 

Good for everyone who didn't snag it the first time!

I had it in my cart and debated and then it was gone, and I actually didn't feel bad. I may partake tomorrow... I've let a lot of preorders/restocks slide this week.

Detox, just to retox.

 

Do I buy a copy of the 2nd pressing, 20th anniversary of NFG - Sticks and Stones or give up? It’s bothering me. Haha. I want a good copy.

 

I love when labels/bands do stuff like this. I'm kind of tempted to get this one, too
