Yay!

Listening station. It's about time

I built a couple new items for my records as they are outgrowing my main units. I copied the basic style from the expedite thing from ikea cept it's plywood and not particle board and it only cost $30 plus a few hours of my time.



It holds all of the box sets and gatefolds. I feel that this style, the library style, is better for gatefolds than my regular store style. Standing them upright with very little pressure, as opposed to them all leaning on each other, should keep any creases from occurring on the jacket. Or just crushing the wider spine that gatefolds have. It also holds 10" records and a couple cd cases. So there's room to grow with the removal of the cds.
After I got this shelf in place it became obvious that this was our new listening station. So next we needed a new stand for the stereo. This was made with the leftover plywood and also holds the DVD storage box.


Add a nice comfy chair and we now have a great place to sit and listen to some vinyl.

records by mail

I got a few good mail order records the last few months. Some great re-issues of albums i never got around to buying the first time out. Or i never found used, which is what i usually have preferred to do over the years. I usually pass up new records for used records when i in stores. Figure i will eventually find it used or it will get a special repress.
The repress of The Refused 'the shape of punk to come' was a solid release and the inclusion of the DVD was a great bonus. Ordered this from epitaph first press of 500 on blue.
Integrity 'the blackest curse' first press of 700 on white. Theres no lyric sheet included with the vinyl which I always find depressing. I hear the cd has lyrics but I cant even remember the last cd i bought it was probobly from a touring band that had no vinyl. Huh, i will hafta go through my cds and figure out what was the last one i purchased.
Converge 'Jane Doe' double Lp with great booklet first press of 2000 on white. I evidently ordered way late and got the most common color.


Bane 'holding this moment' red white split of 250. I like collection releases, its nice to have these songs on one 12" instead of having to play multiple 7"s. I am not a fan of having to order from overseas. The shipping prices make most records, to me anyway, not worth the price and the possibility of shipping mishaps is very high.
I am however a big fan of battle of mice and Made out of babies so i was very excited for the Julie Christmas solo album. no matter what is going on musically her vocals make it that much more powerful and unique. Not to take away from any of the musicianship of any of these songs cause I certainly cant write or play. But its her vocals that complete the songs.
the re-issue of Baroness's 'first and second' is another great collection record that puts there first two releases on one nice piece of vinyl. Olive green vinyl of 500

Been a long time

Records
Originally uploaded by startxgxbxtoday

So wow its been almost a year since i even looked at this thing. Alot has happened and many records have been bought. More importantly we bought a house a couple months back so that's taken up most of my attention. Now with winter approaching maybe i will have more time for this thing here. So i have gotten a bunch of new records in the last few months and I have re-organized my collection from the standard alphabetical into some general sections like hardcore, early LA, anarcho, various labels, metal, hip hop, dance-electronic, 80s metal,and so on. Then there are just those random artists in the general section. So far its coming along well with constant changes. Its been really good to re-familiarize with some titles that have been looked over while flipping through the monotony of the alphabet. I am still figuring all this out as this is my first post using flickr.com so will see how it goes, hopefully more to come

Record scores of the month

So with the end of another month I figure it's a good time to show what records I've recently found. I am sure there are a couple I got early in the month before I thought bout doin this that I have overlooked but whatever. Probobly noone reading this anyway.
So here they are with whatever pressing info I know.

so the other day I'm out record shopping again and i came across a great record of a band i hadn't thought of in a while. this was a special surprise cause had this not only come out without me knowing but there i am smiling all big and goofy watching kids try and dance on the crazy slippery floor.


That 'last show' will always be a fond memory, as was every time i was lucky enough to participate in their chaos.




these are the only flyers i still have

"GIVE ME SOME REALITY!"

New records, new style

I started doin' this as a way to catalog my records and maybe be in touch with others. As I got a bunch of posts and started lookin' back I became rather bored. I started using recordnerd.com as a way to list records but I wanted pictures. I have recently found limitedpressing.com and that seems to be a decent site. Still looking around cause I not finding many people on there yet, maybe I just need to look harder. So anyway, I keep gettin' all these new records especially recently that I am stoked on and I wanted to share them, so I figure this is the way to do it. I plan to focus on particular records that I am really into right now and recent additions to my collection.


This being a great time to start as last week it was better than christmas. Oh, and don't be jealous of the Hulk Hogan and the wrestling boot band cassette. It rocks.





The layout is amazing and the music is crushing. If you don't already know this then I surprised your still reading.




Thanks to chase for the new 7". Much appreciated.
To everyone with The Mistake and hellfishfamily silk screened, hand numbered covers, "can I get a Hell ya!"
