The closest record store (by far) is this one in a very heavy tourist area - and the used stuff is always overpriced and lacking in general selection. I sold them a bunch of records in like August and there's still a couple of them left (and they're overpriced). They did have a copy of Killing Time - Brightside for 40 bucks. Looked a lil beat up but the cheapest copy on discogs is 90 dollars

 

Went to my shop today and came home with

The Killers - Hot Fuss
This Will Destroy You - S/T
American Football - S/T 2016

 

v nice. 10 year TWDY version?

 

I believe that's just for Young Mountain, which I got from RevHQ last month. I did see them play both albums back in November. Fantastic stuff!

 

doh, i knew that. that'd be a rad show. saw them summer 2015 and they were amazing.

 

I already have a 1200, but I really couldn't say no to this. My favorite Beatle, on a beautiful turntable. I'm into it. I'm curious how the Pro-ject will rank against my Technics.

 

Picked up The Killer's Hot Fuss reissue along with a Springsteen "Dancing in the Dark" 7" today. Also, my Sinai Vessel order should be showing up this coming week.

 

Here's a fun one...I just unpacked my records after a move, and a decent number of them are warped enough that they skip when they play Any tips or tricks to repair them to a playable state?

 

Oooooof. How were they stacked while you were moving? As far as I know, there isn't really a fix.

 

For my fellow Canadians, if you haven't heard, HMV is closing so keep an eye out for sales. The store near my has "up to 30% off everything in store" running now.

 

You could try to put them under a pile of heavy books for a while and see if that does anything.

If not, you could try the Vinyl Flat, it is supposed to work pretty good. I have not tried it out myself yet though.

This weekend I went out and bought California by Blink (finally) and Tom Petty's Greatest Hits.

 

Speaking of, Tom Petty's Wildflowers is like one of the hardest records to find. If anyone has it at a decent price, will pay you.

 

They were similar to how they sit on a shelf, but leaning a bit on each other. It's possible the weight made it happen. I've got a couple between books right now, we'll see how that goes. Thanks!

 

Let me know what works!

 

Splurged at Amoeba yesterday, but it's my birthday tomorrow so #treatyoself

Russian Circles - Memorial
The Devil Wears Prada - Transit Blues

@Michael Schmidt

Here's what I ended up going with. Plush John Goodman is pleased.

 

Looking good and nice Weakerthans album! What table and wicker baskets are those?

 

Thanks!

Here's the table. The baskets I've just had around for a while. I wanna say they're from Home Goods?

 

I'm just here for Plush John Goodman.

 

I think we have the same kind of speakers and TT

 

I may or may not be having a Hawaiian shirt made for him.

 

Purchases from the last week...

Daisyhead - The Smallest Light
Death By Stereo - Day of the Death
The Bled - Heat Fetish
The Bled - Found in the Flood
Amy Winehouse - Back to Black

 

Just got my Gunship picture disc. Made to look like an old floppy disk.

 

Need a new TT after my old one busted last year and trying to decide between getting an AT LP120 or a TEAC TN-300 player. Anybody have any thoughts or preferences between the two (or a similar different player within the same budget)?

I had an AKAI BT100 for Christmas but it had super inconsistent platter speeds...on two different ones...within one month. I got it replaced and exactly the same issue happened with the new one, and it seems to be a worldwide problem after searching online, so I'm getting a full refund. It looked great, as the TEAC does - but wondering if the robust nature of the LP120 and its ability to be customised and have components upgraded more easily is a better option? The TEAC is getting a lot of love recently though. I want reliability and playback over substance and aesthetics ultimately.

Just looking for opinions really.
