    I ain't got any vinyl unfortunately, no way to play them

    I'll probably get a record player this summer though, that'd be nice

    Unless you're buying that one Tijuana Brass album for the cover.

    Because everyone should own that album.

    Is this... is this a thing? That people do?

    I don't understand. I don't understand at all.

    In other news, I'm relistening to that 'Just Like a Girl' album I bought in Japan and Debbie Harry and New Order are engaging in something fucking insane. I'm so glad I bought this.

    Why would you buy vinyls if you didn't have the means to play them?

    Spillers Records are in my neighbourhood. I expect they'll be doing something, might go down later today.

    I swung by Reckless in Chicago and picked up the limited RSD release of the Mountain Goats' Life of the World to Come DVD

    Saw a pretty decent band play there too but I didn't catch their name

    For a college town I'd expect there to be a lot more record stores here, but there's only one shitty one that's a headshop too and the employees are dicks and it's overpriced. I think they're participating in RSD but I don't know

    RSD haul from Park Ave in Orlando:

    Passion Pit - Little Secrets 7'
    Yeah Yeah Yeahs - Skeletons 7'
    Phoenix - Fences 12' (its pink too)
    TV on the Radio - Dear Science 12' (fucking finally i've been waiting 2 years for this to be reprinted)
    Modest Mouse - The Moon and Antarctica 2x12'

    And my friend got herself the RSD Tegan and Sara 7'

    total was around $54 bucks for my stuff (the modest mouse lp was 28 bucks, but ill probably never see it printed again)

    All in all, a pretty sweet haul

    no it's not

    buying new music and reissues on vinyl is really expensive. but that's daft anyway. i don't see the point of buying a new record on vinyl that was produced and mastered digitally and sounds just as good on cd

    but there is so much fantastic old music out there practically being given away because nobody listens to records anymore and it's been forgotten. all you need is patience to dig and a gambling spirit. though admittedly mobile access to wikipedia helps too

    whoa whoa whoa whoa

    there is no "sounds just as good on cd"

    the only reason vinyl hasn't died as a format is because a record in good shape on a nice turntable has better audio fidelity than really any format since

    Really? "Better" how? The best systems I've heard have all been digital to high-end headphones.

    I was under the impression vinyl hadn't died as a format because of manual timing for DJs and collectors.

    well vinyl might potentially sound better the first handful of times if you have a perfect system, but if you actually want to listen to the damn thing it's going to degrade necessarily

    i tend to want to listen to my music.

    i bought an album on vinyl because it was a tour only, limited edition thing with the intention of then buying a turntable

    but the pay day that would give me enough money to buy a turntable and all the other shit i need has never quite come so it just sits sadly next to my cds
