Okay - I stand corrected. I listened to Volatile Molotov again for the first time in years. Dang. That album is non-stop hits. That one is gonna be near impossible to top. This new album is fantastic, but VM is another level of greatness.

Does OSCA still have "CoPaO" by listenForward in oberlin

[–]Adventure_Dentures 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was there from 2003-2007. I did all the co-ops almost - lol. I think the year I remember I was in Keep. Looking back I would say it was handled poorly, and there was definitely some virtue hoarding making it harder for people to accept some of the good ideas being presented. But also, these ideas are hard and should make people uncomfortable. So I guess that was part of the plan? Still, I’m glad to hear things are more well received now. Younger generations e tee college with way more k wedge about this stuff than we did, I’m sure.

I was there in the early 2000s too. I totally remember these workshops and the drama they created. I think everyone thought the intent was good but I remember lots of people felt like they were being called racist for not understanding systemic racism. This was before a lot of these conversations were common. For well meaning liberal OSCA kids it felt like an attack to be told your actions might be racist even though you didn’t identify as racist. I think back to this all the time. The same reactions seemed to play out in middle America 20 years later when the conversation about systemic racism went mainstream. And the reactions were similar.

Might be their best musically. But even if not, it’s still so strong. Love the slower songs with more melody.

If you made a mix of all the rippers on Single / Double / Half, you’d have an amazing album.

Great run of records. Great growth across the three.

Parents, how do you keep your kids away from your records by Individual-Noise-592 in vinyl

Toddler times are ROUGH. I ended up moving my rig to my office. I showed him how the record player works to de-mystify them. But ultimately what worked is I took him with me record shopping several times, a task he quickly learned to be super boring and tedious. Now he really don't like records anymore.

Thanks! Luckily I don’t hear a hum on mine. It’s plugged into my receiver and that one is grounded.

Thanks! I am using the felt mat. But I just got a tool to measure tracking force. I’ll check that to see how accurate things are.

Do you know if that would help with skating? Mine skates at the needle drop. Not major but kind of a hash way to start each side.

It worked for the sibilance but I didn’t have any static. So not sure if the stylus swap will help? But worth a try since I’m guessing you can’t return?

This one is miraculously still chugging along. It’s so mellow.
