I went to Amoeba today.

6a00d8350dbb0f53ef00e54f07c8fe8833-.jpg

It's pretty much the best record store ever.



I picked up some great stuff:

Vinyl003.jpg

I love the band and the title.

Vinyl002.jpg

I Had to get it once I figured out what it was.

Vinyl001.jpg

I Didn't know it existed but once I did buying it was self explanatory.

and my sweet little setup

Vinyl004.jpg


I have some other stuff I'll post later but my collection is still really small since I just got the player.

Lets talk about vinyls. What's cool, whats hard to find. What we wished we had.

    I wish I could get some John Hartford vinyls but fuck me they are difficult to find out here.

    and I guess I have this too, though it's pretty out of character:

    Niiiiice.

    I wax as well - here's half of my setup, complete with smudgy fingerprints all up on, with a few of my favourite albums underneath:
    dsc01653m.jpg

    And who's got an original press of this?

    This gal! As well as two or three others, but the jacket condition isn't great for most of them.

    My eight-grade English teacher had an original press of Sgt. Pepper's, still sealed.

    I wasn't a Beatles fan then so I didn't realize at the time how fucking cool that is.

    My record player setup just HAPPENS to look exactly like the cover of Sgt. Pepper's, is all.

    I realized as the post was processing, and time slowed down as I stretched for the keyboard, shouting "NOOOooooooo!"

    But it was too late.

    Very limited press. Actually I don't know if it is worth anything but I love the album

    and than there's this:

    in fairness, you do have a really old-school setup

    I found a pair of home theater speakers with a price listing of $3k each at a garage sale for $100 a few months ago.

    Yow. I would have been tempted to pick them up, either way. After this last move, my left speaker has been kicking out at random moments for some reason, and I can't pinpoint the problem. I thought I'd fixed it, but it's doing it again now because it hates me.

    You can never have enough Bob Dylan vinyl, but I am officially most covetous of the Repo Man soundtrack, because I just watched that movie two nights ago.

    fuck yes I did

    I need a real receiver, though, the little 30 watt my old roomate left here just doesn't work as well as it ought to any more but fuck me stereo receivers in the wattage and resistances these things take are expensive and harde to find and I haven't had time to deal with it. The vast majority of the stuff that is sold in with the appropriate power behind it these days comes in 5 or 7.1 channels, which is not what I need at all.
