03.12.18 | as much as I love scrobbling lately, it's gonna have to take a back seat for a while so I can binge on my records. might post my full collection soon since I've been collecting a few years now |

03.12.18 | My vinyl needle fucked up the entire first thirty seconds of I Appear Missing, so now I need to get an entirely new vinyl of Like Clockwork |
Atari
03.13.18 | Just picked up 8-10 :] first trip to the record store in forever |
Dewinged
03.13.18 | Same feeling about scrobbling, I love to see my numbers there but damn, nothing like a good record. You are in dire need of more s/s material my friend ;) |
Dewinged
03.13.18 | And I have 5 on wax, also the t/t, both sound amazing. |
Atari
03.13.18 | I have a good amount of singer-songwriter, most of it is just older like Bob Dylan/Simon and Garfunkel. I don't order many records online so I just grab whatever I can find at my local record store. Was stoked to find 8 today tho :]

03.13.18 | I hear you, got some old s/s records myself, I love how the old pressings sound man. The Julie Byrne sounds great on vynil, Some Heavy Ocean from Emma Ruth Rundle and specially Citizen of Glass from Agnes Obel are highly recommended if you find a good price. |

Whenever I feel like playing a record on my TT, I play the album on mute on my player at the same time. No scrobbles lost. |

03.13.18 | Why am I like this |
TheSpaceMan
03.13.18 | yeah replacing a cartridge is like buying new underwear |
DinosaurJones
03.13.18 | But old underwear is the most comfortable :[ |
TheSpaceMan
03.13.18 | true, socks are a better one |
TheSpaceMan
03.13.18 | actually, I stand by new underwear. so nice and crisp, fabric isnt thinner than tissue yet |
DinosaurJones
03.13.18 | It's a tossup, honestly. Because sometimes that new underwear does feel nice.
That said, I can't wait to get my turntable set up again, I'm moving this weekend, so everything is packed up... all I have is my laptop, haha. |
TheSpaceMan
03.13.18 | oh snap new place? rad. setup that TT there asap and play the moving-in jams |
DinosaurJones
03.13.18 | Haha, I'm actually moving back home because I need to get back on my feet, financially speaking. And I also want to be able to help my parents who are getting a little up there in years, and my worthless sister still lives with them.
That said, I don't think they'd care if I blasted out some music. |
TheSpaceMan
03.13.18 | thats cool too, sounds like a win-win. family is family |

03.13.18 | Worst thing is when the elastic band is permanently stretched and you feel them sliding down your ass every minute |
DinosaurJones
03.13.18 | Truth. It kind of bothers me how there's such a stigma about still living at home. I understand it, but I went out and lived on my own for a few years, I've fallen on some hard luck, and I'm actually really lucky that I'm able to move back home. |
DinosaurJones
03.13.18 | bloc, that's when you know it's time to toss them. There are some things that just get taken too far. |
bloc
03.13.18 | Am I the only one who gets emotionally attached to my underwear? It's tough throwing them out.
Bruh, don't sweat it. I'm turning 29 this year and I still live at home. Can't afford to move out yet. |
DinosaurJones
03.13.18 | Underwear, not so much. Hoodies though? I still have a hoodie from high school... I graduated in '07. It doesn't keep me warm anymore, and it's got plenty of holes. But I still can't bring myself to get rid of it. |
DoofusWainwright
03.13.18 | Yeah, like technology has replaced vinyl ye know |
luci
03.13.18 | I need to get an LP of 1, easily my favorite Agalloch. Also nabbed 8 earlier this year, great afternoon record to sink into. Will likely get that Bedouine sometime soon. I recommend Divers on vinyl, sounds heavenly (packaging is also beautiful). |
TheSpaceMan
03.13.18 | @doof I bet people said the same thing about live music when vinyl came out
Why bother with the hike to a venue when the phono is hip and happenin |
Dewinged
03.13.18 | @rapid Smart, why I never thought about that |
DungeonBoy
03.13.18 | What kind of cartridge did you get bud? I'm thinking about upgrading from an Audio Technica CN5625AL to a Ortofon 2M Red |
bloc
03.13.18 | This is why I stopped using last.fm. Was getting too obsessed with making sure every played track was being counted |

03.13.18 | "Whenever I feel like playing a record on my TT, I play the album on mute on my player at the same time. No scrobbles lost."
lol this is brilliant. I think I might have to start doing that |
