Sleepwalker - Ichi-go Ichi-e

Don't know much about these guys, friend turned me onto them recently. They are from Japan and the hype sticker describes them as avantgarde pschyedelic black metal....do with that as you will, but I'm digging it.

Turing Machine...wish i knew of them earlier and had a chance to see em live.

Man Man - Six Demon Bag

If you want to be technical, I took this picture the other day but it had surface debris that needed to be cleaned so I didn't actually listen to it. Got that done today and listened to it as I cleaned a batch of records, perfect. Not usually a fan of picture discs, but this one is absolutely gorgeous.

Thanks BeerandNoise

Yesterday's cleaning session cleared up 99% of the issues this album had last time I played it. Slight pops remain on one song, and that is it...a true pre-Christmas miracle. Also, this is one of the best albums of the 90s and a great way to kick off a relaxing afternoon/evening of music and drinking.

That I only own two Devo albums is a personal failure. Beer is the same.

fear025 got me some new to me (mostly original pressings from the 80's in good+ to mint condition). I haven't bothered to take any pics today, but I did update my inventory in RYM, so I have that going for me. Have a great day everyone!

 

[trickytunadicky]

Scotch and CSN. Close enough.

I promise I’ll post some beer and vinyl later... however, I have a turntable related question...

Looking to upgrade fairly soon. Currently using the AT LP60, but looking to upgrade to the LP120. Seems like a good buy, however I’ve read a few reviews about them crapping out after a year or so. Should I pull the trigger or wait, save up, and buy something else? Also... An ideal turntable for me is something I can just plug in and play. The lower maintenance/work the better.

I have a pl120 which is what the lp120 replaced. Had it for around a decade at this point with no issues. It's nothing amazing, but it is a good no fuss unit. I've heard the lp120 uses some different components that may or may not lead to a lower performance but I haven't used one myself, but I'd still wager it is one of the best budget friendly solid out of the box turntables out there.

Crossed another one off my want list from this year.
IDLES - Joy As An Act Of Resistance.

 

[Pierre Pressure]

Boris - Dear

I'm really gonna miss these guys when they're gone.

Got my Baby’s first turntable set up, and I’m ready to Friday!

Went ahead and ordered it. I had some Barnes and Noble gift cards, so I paid like $150 total with shipping.

So one of the records fear025 got me was Bob Seger's Nine Tonight. Does anyone else have any double albums pressed in this infuriating fashion? Granted it's a live album recorded across two venues and at least 7 dates (there is a pic of the front of Cobo Hall with a 6-date run in the sleeve), but for some unholy reason the records are pressed 1-4 and 2-3 so you have to change records to play the music in order, beginning of concert to end. I am enjoying these tunes currently with a side of hot cocoa made on the stove with milk and a little candy cane tossed in, if anyone cares.

I have a double album or two that does that. I just end up listening to 1-4 and then 2-3.

It’s frustrating and I have no idea why it’s done that way.

I am sure it plays super on those record players that flip the records for you.

I've got an LP120 w an issue that I'm currently trying to work through. I'd say I bought the turntable about a year and a half ago? I think it's some kind of cable issue that has steadily gotten worse. Sound wise I think it's solid. Hoping their customer service team can help me resolve the issue, it's hell having vinyl around and not being able to listen to it!

You hit it right there.

 

[trickytunadicky]

Ugh. I am tired. I just moved all of my records from their current home on a book shelf in the dining room to a storage bin next to the record player for ease of access during our annual new years party tomorrow and... I am going to need a bigger bin and a more permanent solution if I keep this **** up.

EDIT:
Anyone need some glassware?

I am kidding (kind of)

 

[ripps1]

Truly a masterpiece of an album.
