The Beer and Vinyl Thread

All I can see in this picture is a damn fine scotch...shouldn't there be a record or something in there somewhere?

There are both...look closely.

Cruel Noise Records in Polish Hill.

But Paul's, I mean Sound Cat, I mean Juke ...was my weekly stop...once they learned my tendencies they got in everything that I was after. I know the new guy is new, so not sure how he's running the place...but that staff has been there for decades. I sold them records from my warehouse back in the day...they know their **** if you start the convo.

Thanks, I'll check Cruel Noise out tomorrow. Started looking into it just now and the record store that was there prior to Cruel Noise was run by a guy who is co-owner of a brewery that just opened up around here.

It’s a running joke with my fiancé. Basically just trolling her at this point.

Me too? I've got some really offensive pics of equipment abuse. You let me know. I'm in your corner.

Does eating left over spicy pad thai with a Wittkerke and listening to Curtis Harding with no photo count?

Asking for a friend.

This has been sitting around for a while...

The record, not the beer. Both are brilliant.

Not quite the usual thing.

Oxbow in a can? Is it reasonably priced?

 

[quirk6]

I know I said I didn't want flat pack, but I like this

I'd actually much prefer to have my records stored that way than sideways. Price is right. Just wish it were white. They do also have a white one. This version is metal in the center and the sides are long grain particleboard (however that's different than regular particleboard). The white one looks like this

Solid particleboard, plus it lacks the two-tiered top of the other design. Capacity is the same at ~560 records. I currently have only 150 but also decades of life left.

Gift, so not sure.

I'm quickly reaching the point where I no longer remember exactly what albums I've posted and what I haven't.

I forget all the time and just re-post the same album. ZFG.

 

[Pierre Pressure]

Best band I've ever seen that used an instrument made of light switches. There are definitely a few people around here that I think would dig this album.

 

[Pierre Pressure]

No one informed me that one of the compromises of marriage is that I would have to leave the price stickers on records that aren't mine.

 

[Pierre Pressure]

I'm about 1,000% sure I've posted this album before but...when ya gotta listen to an album, ya gotta listen to an album. Also, I don't really care if this is a repost, I'm pretty sure that at least 3/4 of turntable owners own this album. Beer is the beer that was in the can from previous post. Very sludgy and sediment ridden.

 

[Pierre Pressure]

I got into some scotch while listening to the last album. And a thread on politics. Now I'm buzzed and angry. So we get this album. I doubt anyone on this forum has bottles of this lying around, but if you do, toss a shot of scotch into your glass for optimal results.

Not sure if anyone in here is into Shure at all. The M97xe was one of my favorite budget carts at $100. With them discontinuing their phono line this summer the price of carts and styluses have gone through the roof. Found a place that still has the styli at uninflated prices. Just grabbed two in a drunken panic and they're legit from Shure. Not a bad time to stock up before they're gone.

Love surprises... Even if they're due to my own stupidity...

Had this and Kaya (two of Marley's best, imo) in my crates for ages. Could have sworn both were roached. Looks like I was wrong.

Beer is damn tasty, but I'm a sucker for cinnamon.

One of these days I may repost an album.

 

[Barroomhero]

Loudening.

Repost goat.



Beer delivers. Really digging bitter IPAs lately.

Saw the Pixies and Weezer last night and all I got was this lousy beer koozie.

But the real prize was crossing the Pixies off the bucket list. Holy **** were they super tight as a band still. Joey with killer precision on guitar and the commanding vocals and overall presence from Charles. They sounded every bit as good as I would have imagined they were back in the day.

And honestly, Weezer was no slouch either. Played in front of the Buddy Holly music video backdrop, which was really fun.... and played probably half of the blue album and El Scorcho and Pink Triangle from Pinkerton. Was not expecting to hear much that I knew, so that chunk of the show was a really pleasant surprise. Then they played a solid little handful of covers including a medley of Happy Together by the Turtles and Green Day's Longview. Was pretty slick. Great show for $25...would bang again.

I saw that show last Friday when I was in NJ visiting family. I love the Pixies. Who opened the show for you? Heard they were alternating between shows. Pixies opened last Friday.

Last time I saw Weezer before last Friday was when I was a senior in High school in 96. Dropped acid with my brother. First and last time I ever did that. Man to be young again with no responsibilities.

Got to see them in Montreal last fall...I've probably seen them 4 times since 1992, and, although that's a real long time span and my memory fades, I thought this last show was their best.

I loved how they just ripped through the set, no banter, song-to-song, and played well over 30 songs. The Kim Deal stand-in was also pretty good.

If it is still Paz Lenchantin, she is legit. There is really no replacing Kim, but if you have to try you won't find many better options.

Yeah it was Paz. I’ve been a fan of hers since she was in the Entrance band with Guy Blakeslee. I remember thinking she was a perfect fit when I found out she was joining up with the Pixies.
