I knew something was delayed in the post but not what.

Today a first pressing of tonight's the night turned up!! Looks like my last day off is gonna consist of getting blasted listening to maudling Shakey!!

 

Did you get it on its own or part of the Trilogy?

Pay day tomorrow, it did not feel good to be looking at Modest Mouse's merch table the other night, with all of their LPs being sold for £15 a pop, and me only having £20 to my name. To the record shop tomorrow.

Just got a couple of bits; not bought any in ages!
 

Old Spiritual Beggars album "Ad Astra" on purple vinyl - Hard, bluesy, stoner kinda rock.  Shed loads of awesome riffs and great keys.  

 

New Vintage Caravan LP "Arrival".  Bunch of Icelandic kids peddling uber 70's inspired bluesy hard rock.  Not exactly innovative but they do it well!

 

 

Now eyeing up a bunch of stuff on pre-order; new Clutch LP, new Kadavar (Sabbath worshipping hard rock from Berlin) and new Monster Magnet "re-imagining" of one of their old albums which could be mighty good fun!

Have 90's era copies of Post and Homogenic. How do the newies sound?

I'm afraid my ears aren't well trained enough to know if it's the upgrade from 256kps sound through middling headphones to 180g vinyl through a decent stereo system and speakers, but they sound bloody wonderful to me. Most noticeable was Vespertine, I've got completely engrossed with each listen since buying this LP. I've got Debut, Homogenic and Vespertine so far, going to aim for Volta, Post, Biophillia (never listened to these in full before) and Medulla across my next few pay days and hope they don't all get snapped up. I really love Vulnicura, but the horrible cover for the LP keeps putting me off.

The green vinyl Homogenic would be essential if I didn't already have a lovely copy. Might have a lookout for Debut and Vespertine tho, nice one.

I'm planning to rip a couple of records onto mp3. I've been recommended Audacious as the best programme to do it with, can anybody vouch for it, or know any better (free) ones? Really I'm just concerned with the ease of doing it. Sound quality isn't a massive deal because I'll only have stuff on an ipod for the train or in work, or to burn onto CDs for the car. So they just need to be passable as they'll always be played from small speakers/headphones with loads of background noise.

Weighing up a Pioneer PL30 http://www.richersounds.com/product/turntables/pioneer/pl30/pion-pl30

 

Anyone any experience with these? Had been thinking of a Project Essential but know that due to faffage with changing the belt, I'd NEVER play any of my singles.

 

The belt is handy enough to change to plays 45s. A simple lift and move, takes literally two seconds.

 

Unless you're a heavy handed vandal. Like my missus.

"errrr...... something happened with the record player...."

I know but pressing a switch is much more me.

Pay day, I picked up the new East India Youth LP, set me back £20 so I restrained myself from getting Post by Bjork for £11. But I have no lasting willpower, so I'll probably end up going back for it tomorrow. I've got real life shit that I need to pay for, why does nobody ever stop me?

    • Not necessarily but it should be, Download have a habit of messing it uo when others get the bookings on point. Good Charlotte I doubt are playing 3rd down and that too 3 that day while dreamy is too strong. I think you'd have one another day to help sell weekend tickets. I also doubt Papa Roach play. 
    • Here's a bit of a wild stab, few placings may be off, and for all I know half of these won't actually be touring next year, but screw it, it's a bit of fun   Pyramid: Sabrina Carpenter, Phoebe Bridgers, TBA (Florence + The Machine), Garbage, The Last Dinner Party, Interpol, Alex James Britpop Classical Other: Chase & Status, Teddy Swims, Clairo, The Kooks, Zara Larsson, Kingfishr, Sports Team, Orbital West Holts: Robyn, Baby Keem, De La Soul, Deltron 3030, JID, Dua Saleh, kwn, Daniela Latila Woodsies: Bonobo, Darkside, TBA (Tame Impala), Laufey, Warmduscher, Wednesday, The Lottery Winners, The Royston Club, Florence Road Park: Patti Smith, Super Furry Animals, Slayyyter, The Cardigans, Skye Newman, Kelly Lee Owens, Teen Jesus & The Jean Teasers   Pyramid: Harry Styles, The xx, Richard Ashcroft, The Pogues, Jessie J, Sigrid, Travis Other: Rosalia, Sombr, Mitski, Alex Warren, Holly Humberstone, Cat Burns, Pale Waves, Yard Act West Holts: Basement Jaxx, Elyanna, Clipse, L’Imperatrice, Nation of Language, Jim Legxacy, Yazmin Lacey, RIP Magic Woodsies: Suede, Chvrches, Bleachers, MUNA, The Cribs, Keo, Bleech 9:3, The Lilacs Park: MARINA, Magdalena Bay, Jacob Alon, TBA (Lily Allen performs West End Girl), Getdown Services, Isaac Wood, Snail Mail, Madra Salach Pyramid: Sam Fender, Hozier, David Byrne, Cher, Obongjayar, David Gray, Billy Ocean Other: Doja Cat, Deftones, Addison Rae, Ren, Viagra Boys, Maisie Peters, The Reytons, Hard Life West Holts: Kano, Thievery Corporation, Angine De Poitrine, Thee Sacred Souls, Brooke Combe, Sasha Keable, Master Peace Woodsies: The Wombats, Metronomy, Geese*, Dry Cleaning, EsDeeKid, Sienna Spiro, Cowboy Hunters, Radio Free Alice Park: Big Thief, Laura Marling, MJ Lenderman, Richard Dawson, Oklou, Maruja, Dead Dads Club, Ratboys   *There's always one band booked for Woodsies that ends up being massively under-billed and gets shut down really early. They'd be better off playing somewhere like Other sub, but I could see the G getting them to play a smaller stage while it's still possible
